    Analysis and Comparison with Android and iPhone Operating System Lu Cheng 1 System Development History 1.1 History of Android Android is not only a mobile operating system that uses a modified version of the Linux kernel [1][2][3], but also a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. In July 2005, Google bought Android, Inc., a tiny startup company based in Palo Alto, California, USA. At Google, the team led by Rubin developed a mobile device platform powered by the Linux kernel and their main marketing targets were hardware component and software partners with an easy and flexible operating system. On the November 5th in 2007, several companies including Google, HTC, Motorola, Intel and so on came together to form the Open Handset Alliance and stated the goal for developing open standards for mobile devices, meanwhile unveiled the new product: Android, a mobile device platform built on the Linux kernel version 2.6[4]. Android has been available as open-source software since October 2008. Under the Apache License, private companies could add on their own applications and extensions and sell them, without having to submit them to the open-source community [5]. Since its original release, Android has seen a number of updates with fixed bugs and new features. Cupcake (the official 1.5 update), which based on Linux kernel 2.6.27 was released on 30 April 2009. Cupcake improves the ability to record and watch videos with the camcorder mode and enable uploading videos to YouTube and pictures to Picasa directly from the phone.

    Event Transcript June 18, 2020 – Open Access in the Virtual Realm: Carmen Papalia and Kristin Rochelle Lantz in Conversation with Sara Reisman Sara Reisman: Should I start? Carmen Papalia: Yeah. Sara, that'd be great. Sara Reisman: So good evening. Thank you all for joining us tonight for our conversation, Open Access in the Virtual Realm with Carmen Papalia and Kristin Rochelle Lantz. My name is Sara Reisman. I'm the Executive and Artistic Director of the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation, which many of you know is focused on art and social justice through grantmaking, exhibitions, and public programs like tonight's conversation. A few notes, those of you who are an audience, please set your Zoom sound to mute to reduce background noise. But when you ask a question towards the end, if you'd like to ask a question, you can submit that through the chat function, which you can find at the bottom of your Zoom screen. And then I can call on you and at that point unmute so that you can ask your question. I'll remind you again when we get to that point. We have ASL interpretation and we also have captioning. If you look to the right in the chat function, there are instructions for who to look for the ASL interpretation. Before going any further, I'd like to recognize the unfair land that we're on collectively and individually. We're gathered in many locations at once, Vancouver, New York City, including Manhattan and Brooklyn. I'm thinking of staff of the Rubin Foundation and Carmen and Kristin and other places, most if not all are unceded lands.

  • Compania APPLE
    Universitatea “OVIDIUS” Constanţa Facultatea de Ştiinţe Economice Specializarea Marketing Compania APPLE Îndrumător: Studente: Prof.Univ.Dr. Jugănaru Mariana Dobrin Cristina Andra Ilie Alexandra 2012 1 DATE GENERALE Apple Inc. este o corporație multinațională americană, care pune accent pe proiectarea și fabricarea electronicelor de consum și a produselor software. Cunoscută mai ales pentru computerele model Macintosh, Apple are o reputație de inovație în industria de înaltă tehnologie. Steven Paul Jobs s-a născut în 24 februarie 1955 la San Francisco, fiu al doi studenţi necăsătoriţi - Joanne Schieble şi Abdulfattah Jandali, de origine siriană. Părinţii săi l-au dat spre adopţie şi a fost luat de o familie din California - Paul şi Clara Jobs. La câteva luni după adopţie, părinţii lui biologici s-au căsătorit şi au avut o fiică, Mona, care a aflat despre existenţa fratelui său mult mai târziu, când era adult. Steve a fost crescut în casa părinţilor săi adoptivi din Silicon Valley. ISTORIA COMPANIEI APPLE (de la clasica afacere de garaj la afaceri de peste 50 de miliarde de dolari) Adevăratul strămoș al computerelor personale nu a fost PC-ul produs de compania IBM în 1981, așa cum se crede de obicei, ci un alt aparat numit Altair 8800, care fusese lansat pe piață cu mare succes în 1975 de către o companie din New Mexico. Altair 8800 putea fi comandat și primit prin poștă; probleme mari nu avea, dar se livra sub forma unor componente care trebuiau asamblate de client. Ce se putea face cu această mașinărie? Nimic, trebuie s-o recunoaștem; asta până când doi hackeri adolescenți, pe nume Bill Gates și Paul Allen au scris pentru el o versiune de BASIC, cu care se puteau realiza calcule rudimentare.

José Hamblett Agradecemos a todos nuestros profesores y en especial al profesor Roberto Paiva por su orientación, asesoramiento y dedicación. Freddy y José Resumen ejecutivo Fundada como Apple Computer en 1976, de ser una empresa fabricante de computadoras se transformó, de la mano de Steve Jobs, en una empresa innovadora de productos que no eran computadoras personales (PC). Para el 2010, la empresa se consideraba a sí misma como una empresa de “dispositivos móviles”. Apple ha tenido un crecimiento espectacular y continúa teniéndolo; el mercado está lleno de grandes desafíos y, en el 2010, con todavía los estragos de la crisis financiera del 2008, la creciente competencia en el mercado y lo cambiante del negocio de la industria convergente, ha hecho que empresas que eran líderes en un momento, ahora ya no lo sean; todas están redefiniendo su actuación en el futuro. En este sentido, la evaluación realizada en el presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo proponer, para Apple Inc., un planeamiento estratégico basado en sus recursos, capacidades y competencias centrales.
