Mac OS

Games are (mostly) either written for the Windows operating system or Mac OS X. A game written for Windows will not work on a computer running Mac OS X and vice versa. Same games have both versions on the same disc, some come as either Mac or Windows versions. Macs can also run the Windows operating system and so can play games written for Windows once it is installed. There are software emulators such as Cross Over Games (See links below) which will work with some, but not all games. Steam also increasingly provide games for both Windows and Mac computers.

Yes and No.

PC refers to any "Personal Computer". It just depends on what forum or group your with and how it's mentioned. You have to kinda read between the lines as it were. But it mostly "refers" to a Windows machine.

Mac PC or Windows PC would be OK to use.

plc. because they sell things to the public

Printing from iPhoto, for example although most picture handling software has similar options, you select Print.. from the File menu and then 8 X 10 from the size options. Hitting the Print button will finish the job.

Once you start watching a movie rented from iTunes you have 24 hours to watch it as often as you like before it is disabled. You can keep a rented movie for 30 days without watching it as the 24 hour limit only starts once you start to watch the movie.

That depends on many, many things. First, you'll need to list the wattage required for all components. Then you'll need a PSU (power supply unit) that can manage that much wattage. If it's a typical desktop, you'll need at least a 500-watt PSU. As for lasting 1 hour, I'm not sure. Hook it up to a generator maybe?

The bite in the Apple logo was originally implemented so that people would know that it represented an apple and not something else.It also lent itself to a nerdy play on words (bite/byte), a fitting reference for a tech company.

The computer you are referring to is "Lisa". It was technically Apples third computer.

A display monitor needs some sort of input to drive the display. This can be a personal computer (PC). It can also be some other types of computers (midrange, mainframe), An external DVD or other media player, video game unit, or other source of input. There also needs to be a suitable and compatible cable connection to feed the monitor for it to work.

Windows is similar to the Mac OS as Microsoft licensed certain aspects of the original Mac OS to include in their Windows software and "borrowed" many other ideas which caused a long running dispute between Apple and Microsoft. Apple provides a guide to help people switching from Windows to a Mac which lists some of the Mac equivalents to Windows operations. (See links below)

10 things that makes Apple successful It’s interesting, Apple claims to have served billion application’s to it’s iPod Touch/iPhone customers, in just 9 months. That’s huge! and surely a successful business concept. Considering that several Apps on the Store are for sales, ranging from $0.99 to $9.99. And of course there are the expensive ones selling around $14 - $20+. That’s definitely a lot of Revenue, both for Apple and the developers. So what is it that makes Apple so successful? Why is it, that this one company does so well doing, what they are doing, while others just keep fumbling - even after trying to imitate the same idea? Apple definitely has the edge when it comes down to innovation (Disclaimer: I personally use the iPhone, and just can’t get over the possibilities of the product. I am sure even Apple, might have surprised itself, with the possibilities of it’s own product). These are a few things , In my opinion. where Apple has got the equation correct. And what other business can do a little bit of learning from. 1. Innovation - Allow innovation within the organization, you will be shocked to discover the creative pool within your own company. 2. Encourage Creativity - following up on the above point, Creativity will give you the edge over competition. 3. Research and Development - While several businesses shy away from R&D, there is a great ROI hidden from Research and Development, you just have to know how to get it right. 4. Invest in Usability - Again several companies don’t invest in usability testing of their products, which render’s a probably ‘great’ idea to just another ‘good’ idea. 5. Invest in your EMPLOYEE - while this might seem absurd to some, but it’s as important as coming out with a successful product. When an employee is looked after well (I mean monetarily and Emotionally), they will stretch to the extremes of their talents to develop your business. And I think that is the most simplest but most powerful formula for any successful business. 6. Marketing - There are the marketing gurus (MBA’s and IIM) who think no end of themselves, but none of that helps when it comes down to the reality of the market, and surely there isn’t ‘One’ formula that will get it right for you all the time (which you probably used in the last organization and got you lot of compliments). 7. Know your product well - If Apple didn’t know what their iPhone/iPod well, they probably would have never been able to dig into this goldmine. And make sure each and every employee understands your products. 8. Know your Target audience And then target it well - If your a mobile company and think everybody using a mobile is your target audience, you probably should go burn your B-school degrees right now. Apple, understands this well, they know what group of the market will appreciate their product (and in turn be employed for them for free! talking about and showing-off the product everywhere they go) and won’t mind paying a premium for it. This in turn will inspire the other market groups to have a desire to ‘want’, which will ensure that they convert their ‘want’ to a ‘need’ and when they finally buy this product, while they don’t feel bad about the huge hole in the pocket they just created! (A very nice way of working through the psyche of a ’save money’ customer), eventually the target audience doesn’t seem so niche as they initially had projected it. Either, it’s pure ‘Luck’ (which, I really doubt) or it’s a ‘master piece’ strategy. And it’s simple. (Also, not to forget they have a really great product there - but that’s isn’t all you need to have a successful business - you need a good plan). 9. Price your product correctly - Based on the above point, it’s important to price your product correctly. While, you might wonder, was it a smart thing for Apple to set the price of the iPhone at a premium. Had they set the set the price lower, they would have had a large customer base. Think again, if you had to choose between short term growth or long term dominance, what would you choose? Also, when you create a product that the owners will be proud of, you can be assured of a loyal customer base. And, if you see every other individual showing of the same phone, your sure to get turned off. So probably you will cut down a few million customers with the high price, but then these guys will spend on accessories - be it hardware or software - There you have another successful business venture - The Apple Store. 10. Lastly, Involve your (potential & current) Customers & Communities - Several companies are realizing, how important it is to involve the customer in further developing, improving and extending the product. They are the ones who will use your product and decide it’s fate, so why not let them have a say in the product life cycle and the direction it should go, the Internet is full of examples. Bottom-line, let your customers help your business to grow. source: http://jonahramball.com/business/10-things-that-makes-apple-successful/

The Brother 885cw uses a wireless system called 802.11b/g. Apple uses this system in the AirPort family of devices. Some Macs have AirPort built in. For those that do not you need to buy a compatible AirPort device, such as AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express, or an AirPort Card.

After installing the AirPort software, an icon will appear in the menubar that looks like a set of waves arcing up. Click on the icon to discover other AirPort or 802.11b/g devices within range. Select the device or network you wish to connect to. It is possible to set up your own network, and have other devices connect to that. You should select a secure level to bar unwanted users from accessing your network without permission.

Depending on the security level of the device or network, a connection can be established and the device or network will appear in the Finder. Depending on the type of device, it may appear as a disk drive or a folder. It may appear as a menu containing possible interactions.
