The first Apple Watch was introduced 1995.
It's #contemporary #design is standing out after 30 years, still. While it was deeply integrated into #MacOS System 7.5, it's not one of their digital #gadgets. This #anniversary seems to be perfect to revisit and redraw some shacky lines and seconds in corporate #history of #AppleComputers.

#Apple lost me as #proUser when they rejected my third warranty case in a row.
To rebuild the #AppleWatch from scratch in #vectorgraphics I prefer #Inkscape #SVG #copyleft on #Linux #FOSS over #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai #IP #copyright #software.
Go get the best #vector #designer #app

and you can draw freely #retrocomputer #illustrations like we do.

Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, had some wonderful things to say about a couple of dirty, disgusting, fascists. Allow me to quote an article from Huffpost, written by Marco Margaritoff…..
While Steve Wozniak has long criticized the personality flaws of his late friend and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, he has far more damning things to say about fellow tech mogul Elon Musk.
The 74-year-old entrepreneur shared his thoughts with CNBC on Tuesday at a tech conference in Spain.
“I don’t know what got into his head,” said Wozniak, referring to the Tesla CEO. “Sometimes you get so rich at these big companies, and you’re on top. It goes to your head, and you’re the most incredible person in the world and the brightest, and you’re gonna dictate what others will do.”
As a “special government employee” heading Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has been dismantling federal agencies with the purported aim of slashing wasteful public spending.
This has led to thousands of federal workers being fired and legal pushback in the courts.
“Bullying is the best way to think of it,” Wozniak told CNBC. “If you’re in school, the bully’s gonna force their way on the little guy. I don’t know, I’ve always favored the little guy over the big guy — and I’ve always favored the consumer of a good over the producer.”
Wozniak had even harsher words for Trump, however.
“There are types of people that you associate with in your life that are good, pleasant, friendly and care about others, care about animals, even,” he told the outlet. “And Trump is not one of them. He’s a disgusting person and has always been and always will be.”
After the Supreme Court thwarted Trump and Musk’s efforts to freeze some $2 billion in foreign aid, Musk urged Republican senators on Capitol Hill to help him find another way to rescind that funding.
Democratic lawmakers resoundingly booed Musk Tuesday evening when Trump thanked him during his address to Congress.
Meanwhile, Wozniak also accused Musk of ruining his electric Tesla vehicles with steadily worsening designs. Wozniak, who invented the Apple I and Apple II computers, owns several Teslas himself.
“Every step up where they changed things in the car, it got worse and worse and worse, and now it is just miserable for user interface,” Wozniak told CNBC. “Coming from Apple, user interface, the way you deal with technology, is the most important thing in the world.”
He concluded, “And Tesla is the worst in the world at that.”
Thanks, Woz. You are the man. Now and forever, you are The Man.

Apple's commitment to building a server manufacturing facility in Houston could be considered a recognition of the region's prowess to attract corporations to invest in development or put their headquarters in the city.

There is something special about year 1984 and 1985 in society.
George Orwell's 1984 year came and went. Big Brother did not "own" the hearts and minds of society.
II watched the #Superbowl 1984 on TV with family. #Apple #AppleComputers
@Shrigglepuss And what is it made of? I've heard plastic #nurdles (what plastic computer cases are made of) are the worst!

A lot of artists who claim "Theft" are full of bullshit. #CopyrightIsBrainDamage #FWakeCopyright
I see people wearing factory-made clothes that are copies of other fashion and style. You do not trivial copyright "look and feel". And national lines make a huge difference.

1978 Apple Computer Advertisement from 1978
The image features a vintage advertisement for Apple Computers.
At the center of the ad is an Apple computer, accompanied by text that reads: "The era of the personal computer".
Below this, there's an intriguing statement, "Now there's your challenge!", followed by, "Apple will change your life in just 3 years!" The ad also mentions a fun, games, and graphics show and offers a free demonstration for those interested.

Hey, #Apple people!
I'm a librarian and as the "techy" person, they send all the tech help questions to me. Windows and Android I'm fine with, MacOS I'm okay, (I had a Macbook Pro circa 2007) but the last iOS device I've owned is a 1st gen iPod Touch (also 2007)
I'd like to get my own device to try and learn iOS to help patrons. I don't have the money to buy a new iAnything new. I'm looking on ebay, but the real cheap ones are iOS 9.
How far off is iOS 9 to the modern experience? Is iOS 10 any better? Beyond that it goes above my $50 limit.
Thanks!

The first computer in our house was an Apple IIgs (Dad was a teacher and this was when Apple had govt contract to supply NZ high schools, so we got it cheap). I used that machine to play games and write a phenomenally bad novel.
ACDSee Launches Photo Studio for Mac 8 Digital Asset Management Tool
ACDSee has launched Photo Studio for Mac 8, what it describes as a powerful digital asset management tool for Mac computers and has been designed to run natively on Apple Silicon.
ACDSee, founded in 1993, bills itself as one of the largest independent digital image editing and management companies in the world.
The company claims that with this release, ACDSee Mac 8 becomes a universal app that runs natively Apple computers with M1 chips that has resulted in what it describes as widespread performance gains. The update includes user-friendly GUI improvements that make for easier navigation and a customizable Indexer allows Mac 8 to efficiently organize assets while the computer is idle.
Additionally, Mac 8 adds a full spectrum of new color-related tools, such as Color LUTs, Color Wheels, Tone Wheels, Dehaze, Skin tune, and the addition of Contrast to the Color EQ.
The company says that the new color and contrast features offer precise targeting of Saturation, Hue, Brightness, and Contrast, Highlights, Midtones, and Shadows, and Contrast and Contrast Balance, all through easy-to-use, responsive tools.
ACDSee says that not only does Mac 8 provide a powerful digital asset management tool, but also grants access to ACDSee Mobile Sync, a portal for uploading images with "on-the-fly edits." Specifically, encodable images edited by ACDSee on Windows or iOS devices and sent via Mobile Sync are now recognized, allowing the edits to be reverted or committed.
While there is a version optimized for Apple Silicon, ACDSee says that Mac 8 can also run natively on Intel-based Macs as well. The update doesn't just bring new features either, but makes improvements to existing ones:
- Color picker tools in Develop mode now display RGB color values of pixels for precise color selection.
- Improved performance when cataloging a folder with many subfolders via the Catalog Folders tool.
- The company has added a Zoom Lock button in View mode to lock zoom level while browsing images in View Mode.
- There is now an improved and modernized GUI that fits seamlessly into the macOS environment for better visual consistency and usability.
A full list of release notes can be read on ACDSee's website.
ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 8 is available from the company's website for $70 until November 24, after which it will return to the full price of $100.

Dear #AppleComputers: your #iOS app designers need to communicate more closely and conform to a single standard for #UI design, placement, and behavior. Take for example your Photos app versus your Files app. Both have a section "Recently deleted". Great! And both allow us to select items. Great! But for Photos, the Delete All button sits on the left. And for Files, it sits on the right. That does not let us learn to pick the correct button quickly. #UX #QA
