To this day these are some of my favorite coding posters. You have to hit the little arrow to find them, I missed them the first time searching, so I wanted to post it because they are awesome.

#22The amount of content here is incredible. Did Apple create this, or fans?
It's unofficial, there was a discussion on Reddit yesterday with people asking if the author would provide access the content to archive it in case Apple DMCAs it, to which he gave some childish strop in response about how he deserves the in(fame)y. You'll find it on /r/DataHoarders if you care to look.
Yeah, he had a Google Drive link in June that got taken down. Hopefully someone archived that (I sadly didn’t) so r/DataHoarders can help keep it in circulation.

#23Check out the employee holiday bonus from 1983: https://www.applearchive.org/1983-feed/apple-holiday-bonus
Was this an employee holiday bonus, or a public promotion called "Apple Holiday Bonus?" I don't see anything in it making it employee-specific. I think it might just be a play on words.

#24My own little moment of fame: WWDC June 8, 2009, Keynote, 21 minutes and 22 seconds in: Bertrand Serlet says (about improvements to Preview): "We have added lots of little touches. The one I like...we have added a little bit of AI to actually infer the selection" My colleague and I (we co-developed the "little bit of AI") never saw this comment (and the applause) live: we were still lining up outside of Moscone West.…
That must be an amazing feeling! Is this a feature that's still in macOS today? Can I see it in action?
Yup, just open Preview for an image (possibly other documents as well e.g., PDF), go into “markup” mode, and begin to draw with the pen or pencil. Preview will try to “perfect” your drawn check mark, X, straight line, curved line, etc.

#25It is surprising to see that Steve Jobs is the most-featured person on a site that says it is dedicated to “unsung heroes”. It looks like it’s just about Apple in general.
Going from “all about Jobs” to “look at our cutting-edge emoji designs” is a nice encapsulation of Apple history. I know that many people hope the period from Jobs’ death to Ives’ departure was just a phase. But it feels like we’re down to the wire product-wise. The new MBP is a nice start but before long the iPhone SE will reach end-of-life and I just don’t want a flat brick with three cameras and no audio port.

the original osx pinstripe look is pretty hideous, and the faux glossy emboss look hasn't aged well either https://images.techhive.com/images/article/2016/01/mac-os-x-...
We'll say the same about flat buttons-that-don't-look-like-buttons too.
The good thing about Material Design is that we don't have to wait for it to go out of fashion among developers. People have been saying it's butt ugly from day one.

#27Apple's design of 10-15 years ago looks excellent even today. Truly - good design does not lose its attractiveness as styles and standards change. Most icons, fonts, panels, colors of most of their old software and promotional materials look very pleasant, even in low resolution.

Fortunately they were toned down in 10.2.

#28I love the early 2000's Apple aesthetic. I'm not sure if it was actually really good, or I just associate it with a happy time in my life. I still have an iTunes playlist with all of the music from the dancing silhouette iPod commercials, and I get the warm and fuzzies when I listen to it. I wish there was a high-quality archive of these commercials online to relive some of those memories. Unfortunately, every time I…

I am a collector of Macs from around this time. I just picked up an orange G3 Clamshell iBook, and I absolutely adore my 'pixar lamp' iMac G4.
I'm considering internal hardware mod projects to get these two up to a reasonable speed.

That's a nice feature! But it was added after we left Apple. I cannot claim any credit for it.

The monitor on my iLamp went black last week for no reason that I can determine. The machine still works, and I can VNC into it to use it, but that's not so much fun.
I have the tools to fix it, but no longer possess the manual dexterity. Sadly, it will probably end up in the garbage because my local Apple Store won't take it back for recycling.
