This book lavishly illustrates the first 50 years of Apple’s history through stunning, full-color photographs. Instant New York Times Bestseller In time for Apple’s 50th anniversary, CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue tells the iconic company’s entire life story: how it was born, nearly died, was born again under Steve Jobs, and became, under CEO Tim Cook, the most valuable company in the world. The book features new facts that correct the record and illuminate its subversive culture and fresh interviews with the legendary figures who shaped Apple into what it is today. On April 1, 1976, two scruffy twentysomethings, both named Steve, founded a startup. Their goal: To bring the revolutionary power of computers to everyone. Over the next five decades, Apple reshaped the technology and cultural landscapes, introducing the public to breakthroughs like the mouse, laser printing, CD-ROM, WiFi, digital video, home networking, touchscreen phones, and tablets. Jobs’s obsessive eye for detail set the stage for products—Mac, iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch—that married advanced technology with beauty, simplicity, and fine design. Deeply researched, Apple: The First 50 Years includes new interviews with 150 key people who made the journey, including Steve Wozniak, John Sculley, Jony Ive, and many current designers, engineers, and executives. The book busts long-held myths; goes backstage for both the titanic successes (450 million iPods, 700 million iPads, 2.2 billion iPhones) and the instructive failures (Lisa, Apple III, MobileMe); and assesses the forces that challenge Apple’s dominance as it enters its second half century. Bursting with tales of frenetic all-nighters, engineering genius, and creative rebellion, this book is a true testament to Apple’s unique and innovative vision, and a must read for anyone whose life Apple has touched.

Marketing-Abteilungen sehen das eigentlich gar nicht gern: Auf den ersten Blick hat sich bei Mac OS X 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") gegenüber der Vorgängerversion gar nicht sooo viel geändert. Es gibt nicht tausend klangvolle Namen für neue Features, die man als unentbehrlich verkaufen könnte. Aber der Fortschritt ist eben nur auf den ersten Blick minimal. Unter der Haube ist Mac OS X schneller geworden, zuverlässiger, leistungs- und zukunftsfähiger durch 64-Bit-Code und Mehrkernunterstützung - einfach besser. Die neueste Raubkatze von Apple ist also bereit für den Sprung in die Zukunft. So schnell kann das Kätzchen allerdings gar nicht springen, als dass es Dompteur David Pogue nicht doch gelänge, es auf Herz und Nieren zu prüfen, zu zähmen und ungeahnte Fähigkeiten aus ihm zu kitzeln.

For a company that promised to "put a pause on new features," Apple sure has been busy-there's barely a feature left untouched in Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."

You get all the answers with jargon-free introductions to: Big-ticket changes. A 64-bit overhaul. Faster everything. A rewritten Finder. Microsoft Exchange compatibility. All-new QuickTime Player. If Apple wrote it, this book covers it. Snow Leopard Spots. This book demystifies the hundreds of smaller enhancements, too, in all 50 programs that come with the Mac: Safari, Mail, iChat, Preview, Time Machine. Shortcuts. This must be the tippiest, trickiest Mac book ever written. Undocumented surprises await on every page. Power usage. Security, networking, build-your-own Services, file sharing with Windows, even Mac OS X's Unix chassis-this one witty, expert guide makes it all crystal clear.
