Apple Computer (sekarang dikenal sebagai Apple, Inc) adalah kekuatan utama dalam revolusi Personal Computer (PC) yang berlangsung di tahun 1970-an dan’80s. Dan bahkan revolusi itu terus menerus berlangsung hingga kini berkat inovasi yang terus-menerus dilakukan oleh pihak pengembang Apple. Namun tahukah Anda, Apple pernah mengalami kebangkrutan, atau hal hal lain sepanjang karir gemilang Apple inc.

Spoiler for Steve Jobs Dengan Macbook Air–Nya:
Sebelum Steve Wozniak bersama Steve Jobs mendirikan Apple, Steve Wozniak adalah seorang hacker. Kepandaian Steve Wozniak ini memang terlihat sejak dia masih kecil yang sangat gemar mengutak atik aljabar dan algoritma matematika. Kemampuan Steve Wozniak ini tentunya sangat berarti dalam mendongkrak hidupnya karena baik Steve Wozniak maupun Steve Jobs semasa SMA-nya tergolong orang orang dengan ekonomi menengah ke bawah.

Spoiler for The Altair 8800 computer kit (January 1975):
Pada tahun 1975, Steve Wozniak bekerja di Hewlett-Packard dan membantu teman-Nya Steve Jobs mendesain video game untuk Atari. Dari keuntungan yang diperoleh, mereka menggunakannya untuk membeli sebuah computer yang sangat sederhana, salah satu produk dari Call Computer pimpinan Alex Kamradt untuk dipelajari mekanismenya. Setelah melihat wacana mengenai membangun terminal computer sendiri pada suatu majalah berjudul Popular Electronics terbitan tahun 1975, double steve tersebut merakit sendiri komputer dengan spare part yang ada. Computer Conversor yang dirakit tersebut terdiri dari 24 baris dan 40 kolom, hanya menggunakan huruf capital, menggunakan monitor berupa video teletype dan dapat terhubung dengan Call Computer. Alex Kamradt menanggapi positif hal ini dan bekerja sama dengan Steve Wozniak untuk menjual produk jadinya melalui firma dagang yang dimiliki Kamradt.

Spoiler for Altair 8800 Computer dengan floppy disk berukuran 8 inch:
Pada tahun 1975, Wozniak mulai menghadiri pertemuan di Homebrew Computer Club. Pada pertemuan tersebut Microcomputers baru seperti Altair 8800 dan IMSAI menginspirasinya untuk menggunakan mikroprosesor ke dalam video teletype dan lengkaplah computer yang ia rancang.

Pada saat itu hanya tersedia microcomputer CPU Intel 8080 senilai US $ 179 dan Motorola 6800 yang dibandrol US $ 170. Saat itu Wozniak berniat bekerja sama dengan Motorola, namun saat itu masih belum menemukan kata sepakat karena range harga yang diminta baik Intel maupun Motorola saat itu jauh dari range budget mereka. Namun Wozniak tak menyerah. Ia melihat, mempelajari dan mendesain skema computer pada kertas. Dalam benaknya, membuat CPU hanyalah tinggal menunggu hari saja.

Ketika MOS Technology 6502 chip (sekarang baterai CMOS) dirilis dengan kisaran harga US $ 20 pada tahun 1976, Wozniak membuat program yang sesuai untuk chip tersebut dengan bahasa BASIC dan mulai mendesain computer yang mampu menjalankannya. MOS 6502 didesain oleh orang yang sama dengan orang yang membuat Motorola 6800, karena banyak pekerja di Silicon Valley yang mendirikan atau membuat usaha sendiri sebagai sampingan.Wozniak melakukan sedikit perubahan kecil agar chip baru tersebut dapat berjalan dengan baik. Wozniak menyempurnakan penemuaanya dan membawanya ke pertemuan Homebrew Computer Club sebagai show off.

Pada pertemuan tersebut, Wozniak bertemu teman lamanya Steven Jobs yang sama-sama tertarik terhadap potensi komersial dari hobi computer tersebut.Setelah itu Jobs melakukan pendekatan dengan toko computer local, The Byte Shop yang pada akhirnya setuju untuk menjual produk Jobs. Namun dengan catatan, komputer yang dibuat harus dirakit dengan baik menjadi satu kesatuan utuh (assembled). Pemiliknya, Paul Terrell, menyampaikan bahwa ia akan memesan 50 mesin computer dan membayar US $ 500 pada setiap pengiriman. Jobs mengamini tawaran tersebut dan menghubungi Cramer Electronics, distributor peralatan elektronik skala nasional sebagai media partnernya. Inilah awal dirancangnya Apple I yang menjadi pondasi perkembangan produk-produk Apple.

Spoiler for APPLE I:


The Apple I, juga dikenal sebagai Apple-1, merupakan awal komputer pribadi dan dibilang sebagai biangnya atau nenek moyangnya dari semua komputer APPLE pada masa selanjutnya. Komputer ini dirancang dan dibangun secara hand made oleh Steve Wozniak dan Steve Jobs-lah yang mempunyai ide penjualan komputer. Produk Apple pertama ini pertama kali ditunjukkan ke publik pada April 1976 di Homebrew Computer Club di Palo Alto, California dan mulai dijual pada Juli 1976 dengan harga $ 666.66.

Spoiler for Apple II:
Berbeda halnya dengan Apple I yang masih menggunakan kayu sebagai casingnya, Apple II telah melakukan up grade berbeda dengan menggunakan casing dari bahan metal. Apple II diluncurkan pada April 1977, dan ditujukan untuk kebutuhan personal. Apple II ini telah mendukung Graphic, Bahasa BASIC, Visical (dengan Excel sebagai jendelanya), dan dilengkapi dengan game Oregon Trail. Apple II ini juga dilengkapi dengan twin floppy disk drive dan monitor. Apple II juga memiliki fitur yang terintegrasi keyboard, suara, plastik kasus, dan delapan internal slot ekspansi.

Spoiler for The Apple III:
Pada awal tahun 1980-an, Apple Computer menghadapi meningkatnya kompetisi dari perusahaan lain. Saingan Utama Apple Computer adalah Commodore. Namun hal tersebut tak berlangsung lama, setelah produsen computer tingkat mainframes, IBM, memasuki pasar. Walaupun Apple II telah dinyatakan siap platform karena Visicalc, Apple tetap menyiapkan Apple III untuk menyaingi IBM versi PC.

Spoiler for Xerox PARC :

Spoiler for LISA:
Pada Desember 1979, Steve Jobs dan teknisi grup komputer Apple melakukan tur ke laboratorium Xerox PARC dan dengan disaksikan peneliti dari Xerox, mereka mendemonstrasikan GUI (Graphic User Interface) pada computer Alto. Pada saat itu Steve Jobs menyadari pentingnya GUI pada computer masa depan daripada menggunakan interface berbasis teks (misalnya, perbandingan perintah dengan command prompt dibandingkan dengan perintah pada layar windows yang lebih nyaman)

Dalam pakta kerja samanya Xerox memberika akses pada Apple untuk menggunakan fasilitas yang dimiliki oleh Xerox selama 3 hari sebagai kompensasi nilai tukar saham yang kala itu mencapai $ 1.000.000. Selama masa itu, para ilmuwan Apple mempelajari liku-liku dari GUI atau interface WIMP sehingga menghasilkan computer Apple yang pertama kali berbasis GUI dan diberi nama LISA (konon nama ini berasal dari putri pertama Steve Jobs yang merupakan kepanjangan dari Locally Integrated Software Architecture)

Hanya saja, Local Intregated Software Architecture atau LISA bisa dibilang sebagai produk gagal APPLE karena walaupun LISA sudah dilengkapi dengan mouse dan GUI (Graphical User Interface), LISA dibandrol dengan harga sangat mahal, sekitar $10,000 dan LISA tidak Compatible dengan produk sebelumnya yaitu Apple II sehingga gagal melakukan penetrasi pasar.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage 2011

Last year Aston Martin V12 Vantage has been released, but was banned for sale in the United States. Aston follow the American concept of time be respected. Retrieve bodyshell your most compact, honkin 'machines. This is called the musclecar. Of course, the interpretation of the theme musclecar Aston somewhat more polite, sophisticated and aristocratic than, say, a '70 Chevy Chevelle SS454.



Initially created for the entire world, the front end of a very solid car with the engine that there is no room for the structures necessary to meet U.S. crash regulations. In a barrier impact speed is needed, note the doll's chest deceleration rate limits.



The engineers had to think hard to meet customer needs. Analysis and computer models show a location where some additional aluminum longitudinal member can be installed to change the path and soften the burden of slowing. It tested well, and this car is the result. Extra weight is not significant. And the performance, handling and styling mods are not affected by the accident.



The V12 engine is a 5.9-liter, 510 horsepower kick, enough to zero time-to-60mph is claimed at 4.1 seconds. M / T has not tested for zero-to-60 on our paradigm. Transmission is rear-mounted six-speed manual, although an optional full AMT and automatically appear in other Astons. The Vantage V12 keep things relatively simple: none of the adaptive dampers from DBS, there is no choice of transmission, not a lot of menu-driven.

Spesification 2010 Acura RDX 2WD


Unsaddled by Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, the front-drive RDX is more fuel efficient, faster, and less expensive. It's not decontented, mind you: Standard goodies new for 2010 include a rearview camera, electronic compass, auto-headlights, ambient footwell lighting, USB-connectivity, and Bluetooth with audio capabilities.


RDX was no slouch even with the added drivetrain mass, likened it to the Evo of crossovers when we said goodbye. Acura's SH-AWD is impressive; through planetary gearsets and electromagnetic clutch packs, it's capable of overdriving the outside rear wheel to create yaw, which reduces understeer. The downside is the roughly 200 pounds it adds to the curb weight. Without it, the RDX's fuel economy rises 2 mpg, up to 19/24 mpg city/highway. It's livelier on its MacPherson front and multilink rear suspension too.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global satellite navigation system that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at any time and anywhere on or near the earth where there is unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. The system was created and realized by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).

The GPS consists of three parts: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments. GPS satellites broadcast signals from space, which each GPS receiver uses to calculate its three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the current time.

GPS has become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, tracking and surveillance, and hobbies such as geocaching and waymarking. The precise time reference provided by GPS is used in many applications including the scientific study of earthquakes and as a time synchronization source for cellular network protocols.

The design of GPS is based partly on similar ground-based radio navigation systems, such as LORAN and the Decca Navigator developed in the early 1940s, and used during World War II. In 1956 Friedwardt Winterberg proposed a test of general relativity using accurate atomic clocks placed in orbit in artificial satellites. To achieve accuracy requirements, GPS uses principles of general relativity to correct the satellites' atomic clocks. Additional inspiration for the GPS came when the Soviet Union launched the first man-made satellite, Sputnik in 1957. A team of U.S. scientists led by Dr. Richard B. Kershner were monitoring Sputnik's radio transmissions. They discovered that, because of the Doppler effect, the frequency of the signal being transmitted by Sputnik was higher as the satellite approached, and lower as it continued away from them. They realized that since they knew their exact location on the globe, they could pinpoint where the satellite was along its orbit by measuring the Doppler distortion.

Modernization
  • In 1972, the U.S. Air Force Central Inertial Guidance Test Facility (Holloman AFB), conducted developmental flight tests of two prototype GPS receivers over White Sands Missile Range, using ground-based pseudo-satellites.
  • In 1978, the first experimental Block-I GPS satellite was launched.
  • In 1983, after Soviet interceptor aircraft shot down the civilian airliner KAL 007 that strayed into prohibited airspace due to navigational errors, killing all 269 people on board, U.S. President Ronald Reagan announced that the GPS would be made available for civilian uses once it was completed.
  • By 1985, ten more experimental Block-I satellites had been launched to validate the concept.
  • On February 14, 1989, the first modern Block-II satellite was launched.
  • In 1992, the 2nd Space Wing, which originally managed the system, was de-activated and replaced by the 50th Space Wing.
  • By December 1993, the GPS achieved initial operational capability.
  • By January 17, 1994 a complete constellation of 24 satellites was in orbit.
  • Full Operational Capability was declared by NAVSTAR in April 1995.
  • In 1996, recognizing the importance of GPS to civilian users as well as military users, U.S. President Bill Clinton issued a policy directive declaring GPS to be a dual-use system and establishing an Interagency GPS Executive Board to manage it as a national asset.
  • In 1998, U.S. Vice President Al Gore announced plans to upgrade GPS with two new civilian signals for enhanced user accuracy and reliability, particularly with respect to aviation safety and in 2000 the U.S. Congress authorized the effort, referring to it as GPS III.
  • In 1998, GPS technology was inducted into the Space Foundation Space Technology Hall of Fame.
  • On May 2, 2000 "Selective Availability" was discontinued as a result of the 1996 executive order, allowing users to receive a non-degraded signal globally.
  • In 2004, the United States Government signed an agreement with the European Community establishing cooperation related to GPS and Europe's planned Galileo system.
  • In 2004, U.S. President George W. Bush updated the national policy and replaced the executive board with the National Executive Committee for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing.
  • November 2004, QUALCOMM announced successful tests of assisted GPS for mobile phones.
  • In 2005, the first modernized GPS satellite was launched and began transmitting a second civilian signal (L2C) for enhanced user performance.
  • On September 14, 2007, the aging mainframe-based Ground Segment Control System was transitioned to the new Architecture Evolution Plan.
  • The most recent launch was on May 28, 2010.[19] The oldest GPS satellite still in operation was launched on November 26, 1990, and became operational on December 10, 1990.
  • On May 19, 2009, the U. S. Government Accountability Office issued a report warning that some GPS satellites could fail as soon as 2010.
  • On May 21, 2009, the Air Force Space Command allayed fears of GPS failure saying "There's only a small risk we will not continue to exceed our performance standard.
