  • Nextdimension State-Of-The-Art Color Capabilities
    NeXT dimension is an accelerated, 32-bit color board that gives the NeXTcube NeXTdimension state-of-the-art color capabilities. NeXT dimension was designed for people who want the most advanced color PostScript system available. It's ideal for high-end publishing, graphics, video, and animation applications. The engineers at NeXT have integrated a 32-bit, true-color display function, a 64-bit RISC-based dedicated graphics coprocessor, video capture and display, and a high-performance JPEG compression coprocessor-all on one board. Its Intel i860 RISC-based microprocessor, operating at 33 MHz, runs full-color PostScript and has been optimized for our coprocessing environment, increas­ ing drawing speed eight to twelve times. This enables graphics applications to process images in near real time. The JPEG compression capabilities let you compress and play back still- and full-motion video from a hard disk drive.

    7 products Steve Jobs got wrong 6 October 2011, By PETER SVENSSON , AP Technology Writer 4. Puck Mouse (1998) - The new iMac was the first major product created after Jobs' return to Apple in 1996, and it was a big success, despite its tiny, round mouse. Users couldn't tell which way it was oriented by feel, and it tended to disappear in the cup of the hand, making it hard to use. 5. The Cube (2000) - This small desktop computer was beautifully encased in a cube of clear plastic. It won design awards but was a flop in stores because of its high price. Also, it didn't really offer any functional benefits over other Macs. Apple's designs are iconic, but people aren't usually willing In this April 4, 1991, file photo, Steve Jobs, of NeXT to pay a premium for design alone.

  • Next and Open Systems Standards Next and Open Systems Standards
    ® NeXT and Open Systems Standards NeXT and Open Systems Standards Standards have become the watchword of the corporate technology manager. And rightly so, because multivendor computing is now the rule. To survive, a computer company must ensure that its products connect and communicate easily with other equipment. With this in mind, NeXT focuses on adherence to industry standards and multivendor con- nectivity. From the start, we built the philosophy of compatibility into all of our products. And we had an advantage. Since the NeXT™ Computer was designed more recently than the products of other major competitors, we saw what standards were actually accepted and which ones truly provided user value. We then incorporated these accepted tech- nologies into NeXT systems. Our view is simple: • Use standards whenever possible. • Invent new technologies when users are dissatisfied with current industry offerings. • Make our new technologies coexist in a heterogeneous world. This document builds a structured model of where key industry standards are required and discusses where they are incorporated into all NeXT systems. We’ll begin with the operating system, the subject of unrelenting UNIX® wars between groups like the Open Software Foundation (OSF) and UNIX International (UI). From there, we’ll highlight the additional standards above the operating system that affect users every day. Before we construct the architectural model we’ll use throughout this document, we also want you to know our biases: The ultimate standards-based computer would be a perfect clone of whatever computer system had the largest market share. This product would bring no surprises. Of course it would also provide no added value to its users.

  • Next Software, Inc. -- Corporate Backgrounder
    About NeXT NeXT SOFTWARE, INC. CORPORATE BACKGROUNDER BUSINESS NeXT Software, Inc. provides proven technologies, products and services for developing business-critical applications for deployment on the Internet and over corporate networks. NeXT's products help organizations quickly develop and deliver new generations of business services to consumers, business customers and employees by shortening development cycles and leveraging existing applications and corporate data repositories. The products enable quick response to technology changes and reduced development risks by supporting industry standards and mainstream programming languages and computing platforms, including Windows NT and UNIX. In addition to the sale of application development tools, NeXT supports organizations with expert professional services to assist with system design, set-up, and deployment. * HISTORY Founded in September 1985 as NeXT Computer, Inc. by Steven P. Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer, Inc., and five Apple senior managers. From 1985 - 1989 developed and marketed the NeXTcube (formerly the NeXT Computer) and NeXTstation product family. This included the NEXTSTEP operating system created for developing and deploying object-oriented applications for machines from such names as Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard and Intel. By 1992, according to analyst firm International Data Corporation (IDC), NeXT became the fourth largest domestic supplier of UNIX workstations in the United States. February 1993, company ceased manufacturing the NeXTcube and NeXTstation and announced it would focus on developing industry standard object-oriented software for mainstream computer platforms. November 1993, decided to "open" NEXTSTEP and introduced OPENSTEP, an API based on NeXT's advanced object technology that allows portability of applications regardless of the underlying operating system or hardware.

    VB. Historia de Apple se niegan a reconocer). Su primer Sistema Operativo, el MS-DOS, muy parecido al UNIX original, fue comprado por una miseria a otra empresa y vendido como propio, entre otros a IBM. Apple (Jobs) sabía que los Mac necesitaban software para ser ser comercialmente rentables, y que Microsoft intentaba hacerse un hueco en el mercado de las aplicaciones, Macintosh era la ocasión de Microsoft de entrar en el lucrativo mercado de las Aplicaciones. Microsoft había hecho algunas débiles tentativas antes del Mac, pero sería con el Mac con quien acertaría, sabían que un nuevo ordenador significaba nuevas oportunidades. Jobs mostró a la gente de Microsoft una de las primeras fases de desarrollo de un prototipo Mac, y a Gates le gustaron las ideas que implicaba un nuevo concepto como este. Jobs y Gates se pusieron de acuerdo en que MS escribiera las nuevas aplicaciones. Justo antes del lanzamiento de las aplicaciones Gates amenazó con abandonar los desarrollos a menos que Jobs cediera en dos puntos: 1. Apple licenciara parte del MacUI (Interfaz de Usuario) para Aplicaciones de MS en PCs (¿Nunca le ha parecido que las aplicaciones en Mac y PC se parecen mucho? Pues no es por que sea la única solución en el universo para interfaces gráficos, es por que se COPIÓ). Estas aplicaciones se convertirían en una Suite de Aplicaciones que crecieron más adelante y evolucionarían al Windows 1.0 y MS-Office. Recordemos que Windows empezó como Application-Suite dentro de DOS, no un Shell de OS. Al licenciar Apple algunos conceptos a Microsoft (bajo coacción), debilitó su caso en contra de MS cuando esta empezó a copiar de forma más evidente a Apple.
