  • Gestalt Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Gestalt Manager 1 This chapter describes how you can use the Gestalt Manager and other system software facilities to investigate the operating environment. You need to know about the 1 operating environment if your application takes advantage of hardware (such as a Gestalt Manager floating-point unit) or software (such as Color QuickDraw) that is not available on all Macintosh computers. You can also use the Gestalt Manager to inform the Operating System that your software is present and to find out about other software registered with the Gestalt Manager. The Gestalt Manager is available in system software versions 6.0.4 and later. The MPW software development system and some other development environments supply code that allows you to use the Gestalt Manager on earlier system software versions; check the documentation provided with your development system. In system software versions earlier than 6.0.4, you can retrieve a limited description of the operating environment with the SysEnvirons function, also described in this chapter. You need to read this chapter if you take advantage of specific hardware or software features that may not be present on all versions of the Macintosh, or if you wish to inform other software that your software is present in the operating environment. This chapter describes how the Gestalt Manager works and then explains how you can ■ determine whether the Gestalt Manager is available ■ call the Gestalt function to investigate the operating environment ■ make information about your own hardware or software available to other applications ■ retrieve a limited description of the operating environment even if the Gestalt Manager is not available About the Gestalt Manager 1 The Macintosh family of computers includes models that use a number of different processors, some accompanied by a floating-point unit (FPU) or memory management unit (MMU).

    HISTORY OF APPLE[tm] MACINTOSH[tm] OPERATING SYSTEM LisaDesk : released, on January 1983, for Apple Lisa computer. On January 1985, Lisa 2-10, outfitted with MacWorks, was renamed Macintoh XL. System 1 (1.0 and 1.1) : released respectively on January 1984 and May 1984, both versions were directly derived from LisaDesk offered less functionality, in favor of being more stable. Certain functions of LisaDesk were included in later versions of Mac[tm] OS, including Mac[tm] OS X. System 2 (1.2 to 2.1) : while integrating new functions, the principal objective of this system was to allow a better management to compensate for the absence of a hard disk on first models of Macintosh. System 3 (2.2 to 3.3) : this system accompanied, on 1986, the new Macintosh models. This system had more facility and was more powerful, it allowed the integration of new file format HFS, of new communications functionality, and laser printer support. System 4 & 5 (4.0 to 5.1) : these systems accompanied the first Macintosh models with colour monitors, and allowed transition between mono-task system and cooperative multi-task system with first generation of Multifinder which made possible to manage several applications simultaneously. System 6 (6.0 to 6.0.8) : improvements to the cooperative multi-task system with second generation of Multifinder. It was released in many specialized versions according to the model which was equipped to meet specific needs, particularly for graphic applications. System 7 (7.0 to 7.6.1) : complete integration of cooperative multi-task processing inside the system, this system gradually integrated increasingly significant functionality concerning multimedia applications and Internet.

  • An Exploration of Member Involvement with Online Brand Communities (Obcs)
    AN EXLORATION OF MEMBER INVOLVEMENT WITH ONLINE BRAND COMMUNITIES (OBCs) by Mary Loonam A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Marketing Birmingham Business School College of Social Sciences University of Birmingham October 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Despite growth in research investigating online consumer behaviour there appears to be a lack of study focusing specifically on how consumers are involved within online settings. Involvement is defined as the perceived relevance of a stimulus object such as a product to the individual consumer (Zaichkowsky, 1984). The study of consumer involvement is valuable as it is believed to be important mediator of consumer behaviour in the extant literature (e.g. Slater and Armstrong, 2010; Knox, Walker and Marshall, 1994). Involvement is thought to consist of two forms namely enduring involvement and situational involvement which respectively denote long-term and temporary interest in the stimulus object (Houston and Rothschild, 1978). Components such as personal interest, sign value, hedonic value and perceived risk have been conceptualised as evoking involvement (Kapferer and Laurent, 1993).

    Volume IV | ISSN: 2394 – 9961 e-ISSN :2454 – 7034 PERSPECTIVA A Case Research Journal Volume IV (2018) The love-hate relation with innovation – A case of Apple Aadithyaa 1 and Vijay Prakash Misra 2 1 Student, Symbiosis centre for Management Studies, Pune 2 Associate Professor, Symbiosis centre for Management Studies, Pune Abstract Someone rightly said, “Great things have humble beginnings”, so did Apple Inc. in the form of a small Los Altos garage where Ronald Wayne, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded the then Apple Computer Company on 1st April 1976. Today, that Los Altos garage is designated as a historic site in The United States and Apple Inc. has become one of the world’s most valuable brands (Madeline Farber, 2017). This rise can be attributed to many factors like suitable business environment, strong management, good investments, innovations etc. In this case study we study the factor of innovation in isolation and its effect on the fortunes of the company. This case study focuses on the three biggest innovations by the tech giant and the products which were responsible for the innovations and revolutions which followed while making Apple what it is today. The first innovation analyzed here is the “Graphical user interface”, which will be studied with the product launches of Lisa and Macintosh in the 1980’s. The second innovation analyzed here is the “Applications” with references to VisiCalc, Adobe PageMaker, LaserWriter and iTunes. The third innovation analyzed here is the “iSeries” which will be studied with the product launches of iMac, iPod etc. This case study comprehensively studies these three innovative benchmarks set by Apple Inc.
