His wife was Laurene Powell. They have 3 children- Eve, Erin, and Reed (“Jobs” 320). According to TIME, “It’s a rule of thumb in the world of technology that you get to revolutionize one industry at most, but Jobs did it every few years with stunning regularity: computers, movies, music, phones” (Isaacson 38). Personal computers, animated movies, digital music, and cellphones would have never been the way they are today without the contributions by Steve Jobs. He was awarded TIME Person of the Year (Isaacson 40).

INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY (1961-PRESENT) An integrated circuit which is also known as (microchip, chip, IC) placed transistors, capacitors, resistors, and wiring circuitry, which was separated previously, onto the semiconductor material of a single chip (Germanium or Silicon). The cost of making electronics was greatly reduced due to the integrated circuit, which impacted the designs of all future computers and other electronics. AMD and Intel, two major microprocessor companies, dominate computers of today. The latest available offerings from Intel as an example contains transistors into the billions and compare this to the 1971 Intel 4004 chip, it contained 2,300 transistors. The Pentium chip which is the most common 1993 chip from Intel contained 3,100,000 transistors.
Apple’s headquarters is in Cupertino, California, CEO and co-founder is Steve Jobs and the company boasts 284 retail locations spanning 10 different countries. 1.2: Customer Interaction Channels Steve Jobs understood one major conundrums of technology, if you create products that are easy to use, the variety of things that people want to use technology for often creates complexity. Consumers at all levels may need some hand holding from time to time. Most people have a working understanding of the fact that Apple lost the PC wars to Microsoft, and only nominally understand that when Apple created the iPod and the iPhone, the company started to go in a new but great direction. And anyone who’s gone into an Apple store knows full well that Apple’s customer service and stores represent the gold standard for selling and supporting tech gadgets.
CIS 105 Week 3 DQS CIS 105 DQ 1 There are a variety of computers available, from the smallest computer in a domestic device to the supercomputers used in industry. Despite the different uses for computers, they all have basics elements in common—each computer system involves hardware, software, data, and users. Think about the role of each component of your home or work computer: How do the components of your computer system interact within the system? What improvements or additions to your system do you think would benefit you or make the system more user-friendly?
3. Identify the processor model and year when two billion transistors were placed on a single processor chip. * In 2008 * The next generation in the Intel Itanium processor family code named Tukwila is described. The 21.5 mm by 32.5 mm die contains 2.05 billion transistors, making it the first two billion transistor microprocessor ever reported. Tukwila combines four ported Itanium cores with a new system interface and high speed serial interconnects to deliver greater than 2X performance relative to the Montecito and Montvale family of processors [1], [2].
Memorandum From: Christopher Perez Paralegal To: Damon Martin Supervising Attorney Date: December 9, 2012 Re: Interview of Edgar Ellison on this date Edgar Ellison is the President and Chef Operating Officer of Widgets and Gizmos, Inc., A long association exist between his corporation and our firm. The corporation has recently research and developed their new project. The widgenometer a microscopic circuit etched into aluminum chips by a newly patented process. The widgenometer multiplies the speed of a computer’s central processing unit by as much as tenfold. Sixteen million dollars was invested in the widgenometers development by shareholders.

Apple | Week 4 | | | | Dustin McCabe | | | APPLE COMPUTER Apple Computer, Inc. Question 1 Describe the key strategic challenges facing Apple Computer. Apple was founded in a garage in the mid 1970’s by two friends who have a vision to make this company huge. At that time the technology industry was very small and not very competitive, but times have change drastically. Apple operates in an industry where the latest and greatest is old news by mid next month.

Now it is one of the largest distributors of industrial controls and electrical components in Northwest USA. This case summarizes field research and interviews with Mark Jefferies, the Vice President of Marketing together with the company’s Product Manager, Sales Manager and Financial Analyst. It mainly refers to the discussion about the pricing strategy for upgrades to the 20–seat and 30-seat for the QTX[1] product line of Clearwater Technologies. QTX was a sales support server that allowed multiple users to simultaneously maintain their sales account databases covering contact information, quote histories, copies of all communications, and links to the customer's corporate database for shipping records.
