On this day in 1984, the computer that launched a thousand nerds was born.

Apple CEO Tim Cook posted a happy birthday message on Twitter to the original Macintosh, which debuted 35 years ago today.

35 years ago, Macintosh said hello. It changed the way we think about computers and went on to change the world. We love the Mac, and today we’re proud that more people than ever are using it to follow their passions and create the futurepic.twitter.com/oUQDJN3jRU

The year 1984 was a wild time, and not just because it was when Apple — whose later invention, the iPhone, would spark fears about the surveillance state imagined in the book 1984 — became a global phenomena. But also because there were bowties. Read more…

Apple Easter Eggs Mashable Video Pixar Steve Jobs

5 sneaky Apple references in Pixar movies

sudshr47 September 17, 2018

When it comes to Easter eggs, Pixar wins. Not just for its self-referential moments, but also for its nod to Apple. Pixar’s success is credited in part to Steve Jobs, Pixar’s former owner and CEO — so these film references are likely a nod to Jobs’ tech legacy.

Genius or manchild? Reconsidering Steve Jobs after his daughter’s book

sudshr47 September 5, 2018

The statement from Steve Jobs’ widow arrived via email, unrequested, in the middle of Labor Day. “Lisa is part of our family, so it was with sadness that we read her book,” it began, the “we” referring to Laurene Powell Jobs and her sister-in-law, the novelist Mona Simpson. “The portrayal of Steve is not the husband and father we knew,” it continued. “Steve loved Lisa, and he regretted that he was not the father he should have been during her early childhood.”

It’s what any PR expert would call “getting ahead of the story” — the story being Small Fry, an autobiography by the Apple founder’s first child Lisa Brennan-Jobs, daughter of Christine Brennan, which was released the next day. Never mind that Lisa was technically part of Steve’s family circle before either Laurene or Mona (younger birth sister to Steve, who was put up for adoption). Get your riposte in first, the advice goes, and you control the narrative. Read more…

The 5 most obvious Apple references in Pixar films

sudshr47 August 5, 2018

You might already know that Pixar movies are Easter egg gold mines. The animation studio is famously self-referential — inspiring, for example, an elaborate fan theory suggesting that all of the films exist in the same universe.

But Pixar movies are also full of Apple references. Yes, the tech company.

‘Why Apple?’ you wonder. Well, Pixar’s massive success is often credited in part to Steve Jobs, Pixar’s former owner and CEO.

Jobs purchased Pixar from Lucasfilm in 1985 after being pushed out of Apple and was the the studio’s largest shareholder until it was sold to Disney in 2006. Jobs eventually made his way back to Apple in 1997 as CEO, but maintained his position at Pixar until its sale. Pixar’s film references to Apple are presumably a nod to Jobs’ tech legacy and the success he brought the studio. Read more…

Apple Mac Memoir Steve Jobs Tech

Lisa Brennan-Jobs shares tangled memories of her imperfect father, Steve Jobs

sudshr47 August 2, 2018

Growing up, Lisa Brennan-Jobs felt that, to her father, Steve Jobs, she was a “blot on a spectacular ascent.”

The memories she shares in an excerpt from her new memoir, Small Fry, paint a complicated, but still tender, picture of the evolving relationship between restrained father, and desirous, at times estranged daughter.

Brennan-Jobs shared an excerpt from her upcoming memoir in Vanity Fair on Wednesday. Notably, Brennan-Jobs reveals that for years, her father denied that he named the Mac precursor Lisa computer after her — which Jobs finally admitted, only in answer to a question from Bono. Read more…
