A Short Look in Apple’s Logo History

Everyone has seen the current metalic logo of Apple and the recent retro rainbow Apple, but not many people know of the logo before. It is a very interesting logo that not many people know about (Full picture after break). It features a very smart man.  Sir Isaac Newton to be exact.  Yep, that guy that thought up the Three Laws of Motion.  He is featured under an apple tree where there seems to be a halo effect around the apple.  This is supposed to be the depiction of when he was thinking about his Universal Law of Gravitation, and now after throwing all that info at you, you may still be wondering why you may not have heard of it.  Well this was probably because it was only their logo for one year before being replaced by the retro rainbow apple.  After all that, here it is, the original Apple logo.  And finally, could you imagine seeing that on the back of your latest iDevice?(Doctored up picture of iPad after break)

How do you Surf?

As I have recently changed browsers from Safari and Firefox to Opera I thought of an interesting question.  How do you surf the web, and are there certain reasons why you think that browser is better than others?  I recently changed for a few reasons.  First, Opera has absolutely no security holes(At this time).  Secondly, it has widgets, similar to Firefox add-ons, and some other reasons I changed over  were because of the UI (User interface) and the iPhone app they now have for the iPhone.  Leave a comment about which browser you use and why.

Google becoming ISP!

That’s right! Google has helped search the internet, and now they’re trying their hand at pumping it into your computer!

Promising comparatively fast speeds at up to 1 GPS (Gigabit Per Second), Google has begun experimenting with their own fiber optic network, urged on by the curiosity to see what developers and users can do with ultrafast speeds.

The secret to these speeds is in the wires. By using fiber optic cables, Google claims their Internet will be up to 100 times faster than all other Internet providers. They also plan on making it an open Internet so other service providers can allow their users to use Google’s Internet.

If you are a government official or Google fanatical citizen looking to have them run fiber optic cable to your computer, you can nominate your community here.

What are your thoughts of Google becoming an ISP? Leave a comment.

Is Your Dock in Need of an Extreme Makeover?

If your dock is unorganized and cluttered then these two commands are for you.  The first command allows you to add an invisible space that gives room between applications.  The second is a command that makes the application minimize into the application in the dock instead of next to the trash can.  Again, to be a Real Mac Genius type in the commands.

Add in an invisible space:

1. Type in the following command into terminal: defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'

2. Next insert the command: killall Dock

Minimize Applications into their icon:

1. Type in the command: defaults write com.apple.dock minimize-to-application -bool yes

2.  Type in the command: killall Dock

Now your dock will be a little less cluttered thanks to these two simple commands.

What to know about Apple’s iPad

As you might know, Apple has released its tablet computer, the iPad. The iPad is essentially an enlarged iPhone. It runs the iPhone OS 3.2 (Which must be due to launch in the next 60 days), is able to use iPhone applications, and has a special interface just for the the iPad. From a first look it does not look that impressive. But, as the old adage says, “Never judge a book by its cover.” Though I was only able to see the iPad on the stage, hands on with the iPad will be different. It is slick, and simple to use, and as Steve Jobs says 75 Million people know how to work an iPad, as the iPhone and iPod touch are similar. I believe that the iPad needs a camera (or two) and a few USB ports — but not all wishes come true.

Specs:

  • 9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology
  • 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB flash drive
  • 1GHz Apple A4 custom-designed, high-performance, low-power system-on-a-chip
  • Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
  • Microphone — possibly to run Skype?

Somethings to note:

Runs the iPhone 3.2 OS — so the iPhone OS 3.2 should be released in the next few days.
Background is a picture — iPhone will be able to change background in OS 3.2?

P.S. Apple, next time choose a better name!
