"We have achieved a 25 percent growth rate for the past three years in this channel of distribution.

Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp.' I. INTRODUCTION Throughout the relatively short history of the computer industry, many disputes have arisen over unauthorized copying of computer programs.2 However, in most of the earlier cases, the disputed copyright protected the actual program code as a literary work rather than the visual display of the program as an artistic work. In Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals confronted an alleged copyright violation resulting from copied visual displays Because the disputed copyright protected the displays as artistic works rather than the program code as a literary work, the court was forced to apply established principles in copyright law to an area in which the law is not completely clear.

Yazawa Abstract Intelligent Software Agent (in short ’Agent ’) is a new software paradigm that can process various services autonomously and cooperatively like a human. The survey of various software systems using agents leads to a conclusion that the autonomy and cooperativity of an agent are realized by the following five essential functions. The functions are: to express responsibility, belief, planning and human knowledge, to communicate with other agents, to plan with other agents cooperatively to solve given problems, to adapt to the current situations of users and other environments, and to behave as a more useful agent system that has been learned by experimenta ­ tion. By its autonomy and cooperativity, agent-based information retrieval system will effectively work on diversified and enormous information sources such as the Internet.

  • Chapter 10 Apple Computer in the 1980'S
    Chapter 10 Apple Computer in the 1980's As a dominant personal computer manufacturer in 1980, Apple Computer had distinct characteristics. It had developed in the Apple II and the related disk drive, technology and ease-of-use features that enabled it to make the transition from hobbyist or technical hacker user to the mass consumer market. These innovations and the release of VisiCalc spreadsheet software resulted in the commercial success of the company. It had espoused statements such as “Never build a computer you wouldn’t want to own” and “One person -- one computer.” The visit to the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in 1979 changed the course of product development. The new PARC human interface concepts suited the vision of Apple. It continued the innovative initiatives of Wozniak. The development of the Lisa computer and the Macintosh computer that would be the future of Apple in the 1980’s. 10.1 ... Corporate & Other Activities Public Stock Offering The initial founders Jobs, Wozniak, Markkula, Holt and the venture capitalists who provided the financing had a tight control of the Apple Computer shares. Markkula also kept a firm control on the later sale and award of Apple shares. Initial shares went through several splits that significantly increased their value. A share distributed before April 1979 was the equivalent of thirty-two shares on the day that Apple went public. During 1980 the market for new stock issues had improved. In August 1980 the Apple Computer board of directors decided to make a public offering of shares in the company.

  • A History of the GUI 11/3/11 9:20 PM
    A History of the GUI 11/3/11 9:20 PM A History of the GUI By Jeremy Reimer | Published 6 years ago Introduction Today, almost everybody in the developed world interacts with personal computers in some form or another. We use them at home and at work, for entertainment, information, and as tools to leverage our knowledge and intelligence. It is pretty much assumed whenever anyone sits down to use a personal computer that it will operate with a graphical user interface. We expect to interact with it primarily using a mouse, launch programs by clicking on icons, and manipulate various windows on the screen using graphical controls. But this was not always the case. Why did computers come to adopt the GUI as their primary mode of interaction, and how did the GUI evolve to be the way it is today? In what follows, I?ll be presenting a brief introduction to the history of the GUI. The topic, as you might expect, is broad, and very deep. This article will touch on the high points, while giving an overview of GUI development. Prehistory Like many developments in the history of computing, some of the ideas for a GUI computer were thought of long before the technology was even available to build such a machine.
