Check 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.
Am I crazy or is right-clicking totally broken on this website? Is this intentional? Maybe a joke about the old iMac hockey puck mice?
It is. One of the articles mentioned that they are trying to prevent piracy (rolls eyes) so maybe that’s what it is.

I love the vaporwave aesthetic of this photo! Thanks for sharing.
When this design came out, I thought it was bold and futuristic. The "juicy" look is dated now, but to hear it described as "vaporwave" makes me feel old.
I 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 always enjoyed the iPod Shuffle with Jerk It Out by Caesars from 2005; the white headphones become a symbol status thanks to how they exposed these in cm's
Im very curious to know how they got access to recent internal and unreleased material.

Even original quality might disappoint, because video quality - especially resolution/ppi has improved so dramatically since those days. I have some high quality digital tape video (transferred to disk) from around that time, which was better resolution than CRT based TV's in North America. Only computer monitors could replay the full resolution of my videos back then. -- Fast forward to now - and even uncompressed, my recordings look like crap on a 4k TV. :-(

>> I'm not sure if it was actually really good, or I just associate it with a happy time in my life. 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.
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.
I've been using OS X since 2010, but in that time I never used the Dashboard. I didn't see any point. A couple weeks ago, I watched the keynote of Steve Jobs introducing Tiger, and when he demo'd the Dashboard, I had this moment of dawning realization: "Oh, so that's what you're supposed to use that for. That is... actually completely brilliant. Yes. I want that. Now." I'm now using the Dashboard quite heavily. It's…
Apple'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.
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-...
My 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.…
So proper old-school AI then? Perl and regexes?
