Bicycling home on a new 10-speed, he passed a large cross in flames in front of a house — one that he knew belonged to a black family. Around the cross were Klansmen, dressed in white cloaks and hoods, chanting racial slurs. Mr. Cook heard glass break, maybe someone throwing something through a window. He yelled, “Stop!” One of the men lifted his conical hood, and Mr. Cook recognized a deacon from a local church (not Mr. Cook’s). Startled, he pedaled away. “This image was permanently imprinted in my brain, and it would change my life foreVer,” Mr. Cook said of the burning cross, in a speech he gaVe last December.

    Genius Bar January 2021 1. Why should I have to turn off my Mac? 1. Turning off the Mac performs some reset functions as well as a memory reset. It is not advised by Apple to leave your Mac on for an extended period of time. Turning a computer off every night is still not advised by Apple. It is best to put your Mac to sleep when not in use; this way, it can perform maintenance or other tasks. 2. How to reset the SMC of your Mac 1. https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201295 Performing an SMC reset can resolve certain issues related to Power, Battery, Fans, and other features on the Mac. The method is dependent on whether your Mac has a T2 chip or not. 2. NOTE: The M1 machines do not have SMC reset. 3. How to use safe mode on your Mac 1. https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201262 Using the Safe Mode on the Mac can help you determine whether an issue is caused, during start up, by loading software, extensions, or fonts not supplied by Apple. 2. NOTE: The M1 machine Safe mode procedure is explained here: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/start-up-safe-mode-apple-silicon-mac. 4. Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac 1. https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204063 NVRAM & PRAM stores settings related to volume, display resolutions, startup- disk selection, time zone and kernel panic information. Reseting these parameters is a good thing to do when encountering a persistent application problem. It simply resets the system programmable read-only memory to factory settings.

  • Cassie Wardlow CST 300L October 16, 2012 Apple of My Eye a Degree
    Wardlow 1 Cassie Wardlow CST 300L October 16, 2012 Apple of My Eye A degree in technology is the best thing that a college student could major in right now. Technology is in its peak and can only grow more in the future. The fields of graphic and web design seem to have many job openings. Companies are always needing new websites or logos to keep up with current trends and to make sure they don’t fall too far behind. Some major corporations that do this best are Apple, Google, Facebook, and YouTube. These corporations are on top of what the best technology is and how they can implement it best. Websites and applications are constantly being updated to make sure they stay on top, as well as products to stay in competition with other big names. More importantly, how is Apple going to keep up? An analysis will be provided to see how Apple plans to stay on top and how they got there. Lastly, jobs for the future will come into play and how acquiring one will happen. Many people know about Apple because the company has boomed in the last decade. Not everyone knows how they got there and how they plan to stay on top. Apple was founded by two college drop outs, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, in 1976. The company started out as just building computers and has transformed into a technology Mecca. Apple computers were first created to go up against the powerful PC world of Microsoft and HP. It was hard for them to compete because the PC world was already so strong and well built.

  • Objection to Closing Argument and Motion For
    Case 6:12-cv-00855-RWS Document 424 Filed 02/03/16 Page 1 of 8 PageID #: 31353 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TYLER DIVISION VIRNETX INC. AND SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, Civil Action No. 6:12-cv-855 LEAD CONSOLIDATED CASE Plaintiffs, v. APPLE INC.., JURY TRIAL DEMANDED Defendant. DEFENDANT APPLE’S WRITTEN OBJECTION TO CLOSING ARGUMENT BY VIRNETX AND MOTION FOR MISTRIAL During closing argument, counsel for VirnetX made arguments outside the evidence, blatantly misrepresenting the testimony of Apple witnesses, which served to confuse, mislead, and inflame the jury, to render a verdict not based on the record. Apple objected to such statements immediately following closing and now further provides its written objection to those statements. Apple further moves for a mistrial, because the improper argument outside the record has deprived Apple of the opportunity for a fair trial. It is well-settled that a “trial judge may order a new trial if he suspects that the jury verdict reflects confusion.” Nissho–Iwai Co., Ltd. v. Occidental Crude Sales, 729 F.2d 1530, 1538 (5th Cir.1984). The Fifth Circuit considers three factors—simplicity of the issues, the extent to which the evidence is in dispute, and the absence of any pernicious or undesirable occurrence at trial—in determining whether a mistrial or new trial is warranted. See Shows v. Jamison Bedding, Inc., 671 F.2d 927, 930-931 (5th Cir. 1982). Grounds for a mistrial include improper attorney argument. “The role of the attorney in closing argument is ‘to assist the jury 1 Case 6:12-cv-00855-RWS Document 424 Filed 02/03/16 Page 2 of 8 PageID #: 31354 in analyzing, evaluating and applying the evidence.

  • No Mac Is an Island with Macos Catalina June ’19 by ADAM ENGST Volume 35 Issue 6 Let’S Face It
    A Publication of the Silicon Mountain Macintosh User Group Colorado Springs Metro Area No Mac Is an Island with macOS Catalina June ’19 by ADAM ENGST Volume 35 Issue 6 Let’s face it. Macs users are adrift in a sea of iOS devices. Contents Waves of iPhones and iPads break around us, and even an occasional iPod touch floats by. So it shouldn’t be at all SIG News 2 surprising that the forthcoming macOS 10.15 Catalina Club News 3 focuses on changes that bring the Mac and iOS closer than Door Prize Winners 7 ever before. Joy of Tech 8 That’s not to say that Apple is trying to replace the Mac with iOS or remove those unique capabilities of the Mac that iOS, watchOS & tvOS 9 make it special. The Mac and macOS remain first-class, vibrant members of Apple’s hardware and Macs & macOS 17 software platforms. But what we’re not going to see, at least from Apple, are new technologies that set the Mac further apart from its iOS brethren. When it comes to operating systems, it’s safe to say that it’s one Gary Rosenzweig’s Tips 20 for all, and all for Apple. In today’s Worldwide Developer Conference keynote, Apple’s Craig Federighi whipped through the major changes, most of which revolved around individual apps. Unsurprisingly, those changes largely reflect or are matched by similar changes in the iOS versions, but there were Mac-specific enhancements as well. Ding, Dong, iTunes Is Dead Federighi had a fabulous riff where he discussed all the features Apple was planning to add to iTunes—Calendar! Mail! A dock!—before acknowledging that iTunes is dead, Jim.
