  Apple Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apple helped commence the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II microcomputer and has since further shaped it with the Macintosh.
Apple is known for its innovative, well-designed hardware, such as the iPod and iMac, as well as software offerings exemplified through iTunes as part of the iLife suite and Mac OS X, its flagship operating system.

 MacWichita Review: Apple Confidential: The Real Story of Apple Computer by Owen Linzmayer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
While many believe that Apple was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, there was a third founder, a friend of Jobs who worked at Atari, Ronald Gerald Wayne, who sold his 10 percent interest in the new company for $800 less than two weeks after the company was founded.
It is difficult to distance oneself emotionally from the impact Apple has had on our lives, through the use of the Macintosh family of computers or through the computing industry as a whole.

 Minority Report: Will Apple send in the clones? - Operating Systems - Breaking Business and Technology News at ...
In July 1985 Gates sent a now infamous memo to Apple CEO John Sculley in which he admitted to be "enthusiastic about the benefits of licensing Mac technology" and urged them to consider licensing the Mac OS to third-party computer manufacturers.
Apple has flatly denied that the imminent shift to Intel chips heralds a longer term strategy to license its operating system to PC manufacturers.
With Apple's current focus on marrying the cutting-edge industrial design of its hardware with the elegance of its software, it would be a bitter pill to swallow to see OS X running on the archetypical 'beige box'.

 Will Apple send in the clones? | Tech News on ZDNet
The clones program, whereby Apple licensed the Mac operating system to PC manufacturers to load on non-Apple hardware in return for a royalty on each computer sold, was abandoned in 1997 with the 'second coming' of Steve Jobs.
Although the Apple management team resisted his advice initially, the seed was planted and the rambling clone licensing saga spanned the tenures of four Apple CEOs.
However, Apple's sales began to suffer as customers bought the cheaper and often faster clones rather than the company's own Macs and it became apparent that the program was cannibalizing the company's own products rather than taking a bite out of Wintel.

 Daring Fireball: The Daring Fireball Power 1 List
Since his return as CEO in 1997, Apple’s computers have gotten better (and better looking), their product line has been simplified, their software has gotten better, and the company has successfully entered new markets.
The single biggest change in Apple’s strategy since Jobs’s return is that the company is no longer reluctant to compete as an application developer.
E.g., Ellen Hancock (Apple’s chief technology officer in the Amelio regime) and Heidi Roizen (former vice president of developer relations at Apple).

While Apple's progress is impressive, Hause said that the company is not out of the woods yet.

 11/17/97 A PEEK AT STEVE JOBS' PLAN
Apple will take the first step when it launches a line of blazingly fast Macintoshes that not only will rival the fastest PCs but also will be the first Macs that Apple sells directly to consumers over the phone and the Internet.
For starters, Apple will need to put sophisticated testing processes in place to make sure unique configurations will work, and it will need a revamped information system to keep orders moving through the factory--at a time when Apple has put on hold a $100 million upgrade of the company's information systems, says a former exec.
Says a former Apple exec: ''It's a complete and total infatuation with Dell.'' Indeed, insiders say Jobs was hurt when Michael S. Dell, founder of the giant PC direct-seller, said during an industry conference that Apple had no chance for success.

 CRN | CRN Top 25 Executives 2005 | Steve Jobs, Apple Computer
The sight of the CEOs of Apple Computer and Intel sharing the spotlight at Apple’s developer conference in June was one of the IT world’s enduring images of 2005—the year the Macintosh got a new core.
Another factor that may have helped nudge Apple toward Intel: Jobs seems closer to Otellini—who officially became Intel CEO in May—than to the chip giant’s previous CEO, Craig Barrett, Enderle says.
And the hard-charging Jobs, who turned 50 this year, shows no signs of slowing down, even as Apple blazes a trail in the fledgling digital music business.

The last time the public got furious over CEO pay was in 1992, when reports of huge numbers for 1991 sparked a flurry of reform efforts.
The author also tapped another unsavory tactic by selectively mixing his data when he said that Apple was a "marginal to horrible performer." If you look at Apple's stock price today, it has fallen from the highs set some 2 months after the options were granted.
This is unheard of in most CEO compensation packages where options are typically granted at a price lower than that of the current market price.
