  battle for the deskot
recomendable artículo en RoughlyDrafted Magazine (vía Slashdot) acerca de las posibilidades de Apple de competir con Microsoft en la batalla por el desktop, “Can Apple Take Microsoft in the Battle for the Desktop?“, un artículo que viene a tocar muchos – prácticamente todos – los argumentos que suelen salir en la discusiones en clase con respecto a este tema. El artículo revisa la tempestuosa historia de Apple y sus muchos fallos, pero aporta numerosos datos acerca de cómo, desde 2002, la compañía ha sido capaz de mantener una línea profundamente coherente, que la ha llevado a una participación cada vez mayor, una capitalización de mercado muy elevada y, sobre todo, una preseencia creciente en los segmentos más jugosos del descremado de la distribución de ingresos, obtenidos con unos márgenes de beneficio muy superiores a los obtenidos por los fabricantes de hardware tradicionales.
Así, cuando Microsoft sacó Windows 2000, la amenaza potencial que Apple podía representar con su OS 9 eran simplemente risibles. Pero cuando en 2002 salió OS X Jaguar ofreciendo muchas de las prestaciones que se decía que el entonces llamado Longhorn iba a tener, y cuando, mientras Longhorn iba y venía de la sala de máquinas, salieron Panther en 2003, Tiger en 2005 y el cambio a Intel en 2006, la amenaza empezó a parecer otra cosa. Ahora, con un Vista en el mercado del que todos los analistas afirman que no vale la pena, y con la esperada salida de Leopard durante este año con prestaciones que superan clarísimamente las ofrecidas por ese recién nacido Vista, las cosas parecen claramente diferentes. Así, el Departamento Federal de Transportes de los Estados Unidos decide una moratoria indefinida en las compras de Windows Vista y Office 2007 y lo explica en un memorandum en el que dice

“…there appears to be no compelling technical or business case for upgrading to these new Microsoft software products. Furthermore, there appears to be specific reasons not to upgrade.”

y un número creciente de personas se sienten atraídas por un producto que además, al tener mejores márgenes, podría permitir ofrecer mejores servicios que los equivalentes PC en los que a partir de dos llamadas al servicio técnico telefónico, ya se está perdiendo dinero en esa máquina en concreto. El número de ordenadores vendidos por Apple no tiene nada que ver con los que pueda vender Dell o HP, diez millones en los últimos dos años frente a treinta y ocho millones cada uno sólo durante el último año, pero los beneficios de Apple, mil millones de dólares, sí pueden compararse con los de Dell (677 millones) o con los de HP (mil quinientos millones). Y cada vez que se vende un Apple, la ventaja de Microsoft de poder colocar su sistema operativo “por decreto” en máquinas nuevas se diluye un poquito.
Un análisis largo, de cierta profundidad y muy bien sustentado que decididamente vale la pena leer.

Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation

Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation

Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation, 35 F.3d 1435 (9th Cir. 1994) was a copyright infringement lawsuit in which Apple Computer, Inc. (now Apple Inc.) sought to prevent Microsoft Corporation and Hewlett-Packard from using visual graphical user interface (GUI) elements that were similar to those in Apple's Lisa and Macintosh operating systems. The court ruled that, "Apple cannot get patent- protection for the idea of a graphical user interface, or the idea of a desktop metaphor [under copyright law]..."^[1] In the midst of the Apple v. Microsoft lawsuit, Xerox also sued Apple alleging that Mac's GUI was heavily based on Xerox's.^[2] The district court dismissed Xerox's claims without addressing whether Apple's GUI infringed Xerox's.^[3] Apple lost all claims in the Microsoft suit except for the ruling that the trash can icon and folder icons from Hewlett-Packard's NewWave windows application were infringing. The lawsuit was filed in 1988 and lasted four years; the decision was affirmed on appeal in 1994,^[1] and Apple's appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was denied

The article reviews the stormy history of Apple and its many faults, but provides much information about how, since 2002, the company has been able to maintain a consistent deep line, which has led to increased participation, a capitalization very large market and, above all, a growing preseencia the fat juicy segments of the income distribution, obtained with profit margins far higher than those obtained by traditional hardware vendors. So when Microsoft released Windows 2000, the potential threat that Apple could represent your OS 9 were simply laughable. But when OS X came out in 2002, Jaguar offers many benefits, stating that what was then called Longhorn was going to be, and when, while Longhorn came and went from the engine room, came out in 2003, Panther, Tiger in 2005 and change Intel in 2006, the threat began to seem otherwise. Now, with a view on the market that all analysts say that is not worth it, and Leopard-expected output this year with benefits that exceed those offered by that very clearly newborn Vista, things seem to be much different. Thus, the Federal Department of Transportation United States decides an indefinite moratorium on purchases of Windows Vista and Office 2007 and explained in a memorandum in which he says "... There Appears to Be Technical or no compelling business case for upgrading to Microsoft software These new products. Furthermore, There Appears to Be specific Reasons Not to upgrade. " and a growing number of people are attracted to a product that also to have better margins, would allow better services than comparable PCs with two calls from the telephone support, is already losing money on that machine in particular. The number of computers sold by Apple has nothing to do with what Dell or HP can sell ten million in the past two years compared to thirty-eight million each over the past year only, but the benefits of Apple, one billion dollars, they can be compared with those of Dell (677 million) or the HP (1500 million). And every time that Apple sells, the advantage of Microsoft's operating system to place "by decree" on new machines is diluted a bit. A long analysis of some depth and very well supported decidedly worth reading.

intel v´s amd

The arena of struggle in the digital world is reduced to two names: Intel and AMD. More than 30 years, both companies are vying for market share of computer chips of all kinds. Although nearly a decade, experts in technology, highlighted the innovative capacity of AMD products, sales increases are not foreseen for the company, as Intel continues to lead with just over 80% of the market share, while AMD gets only 16% of the total. In the last decade, Intel seems to have stuck with minimum innovations in their versions of Pentium 4, but the ruse that remains the market leader is its aggressive sales and marketing. For this new year, Intel will launch new discounts on Pentium D 900 (between 10% and 20%), and Pentium 4 (between 10% and 70%) and Core 2 Duo. It also provides a complaint by AMD, accusing it of monopolistic practices, as they say, Intel uses its dominant position in the global market for microprocessors to punish those PC makers who come to use more than 20% of AMD chips in their products. The truth is that war is not yet defined and well worth a bit of history of both companies to know what to expect in terms of microprocessors and computers in this new millennium. The power of Intel Inside Since the 90's, the vast majority of personal computers in his cabinet has a sticker with the slogan "Intel Inside", the famous spot of the company that announced its leadership in the processor market. The truth is that Intel Corporation is a multinational company manufacturing microprocessors and specialized integrated circuits, such as chipsets for PC motherboards and other electronic devices. Born in 1968, under the leadership of Gordon E. Moore and Robert Noyce and a group of 12 workers. In 1971 came the first microprocessor from Intel, the Intel 4004, which was created to facilitate the design of the programmable calculator from a Japanese company called Busicom. The engineer Ted Hoff, one of a dozen scientists from Intel, designed a chip with a memory that could do several actions, father of the microprocessor. This first push technology, led to the microprocessor 4004, which consisted of four of these chips and two memory chips. This set of 2,300 transistors, which ran 60,000 operations per second, it went on sale for $ 200. Rather than fast, Intel went on sale the 8008, can process twice the data, flooding the equipment at airports, restaurants, amusement arcades, hospitals, gas stations. By the mid 70's, he was asked Intel to include a keyboard and monitor to the 8008 chip, allowing them to enter the world of personal computers, but officials rejected the proposal, marking your destination producer of microprocessors. By the early '80s came the first hand-held Personal Computer IBM 8088 processor with an 8-bit chip working at 4.77 MHz Of 8088 came in the following years, the 80286 and 80386, which later became known as the "286" and "386." I remember when my father, back in 1987, came home with his new toy: a 286 XT with monochrome monitor running DOS, a luxury to time in Latin America. From these two 32-bit microprocessors, the way Intel innovations of the house was rapid, until the 90 came to the new line of Pentium. As mentioned earlier, Intel leads the market in sales and offers consumers the following products: Intel ® Core ™ 2 Quad Q6600 Intel ® Core ™ 2 Extreme Intel ® Core ™ 2 Quad Intel ® Pentium ® Processor Extreme Edition Intel ® Pentium ® D Intel ® Pentium ® 4 Extreme Edition supporting Hyper-Threading technology Intel ® Celeron ® D Intel ® Core ™ 2 Duo for laptops Celeron ® M 450 processor Intel ® Celeron ® M Intel ® Pentium ® M 780 Intel ® Pentium ® M Intel ® Pentium ® 4 compatible laptops with Hyper-Threading technology In addition, throughout these 30 years has been the leading supplier of processors for Compaq and Dell. In June 2005, Intel signed an agreement with Apple Computer, which provide the processors for Apple computers. It was thus in 2006, new models of Apple's desktop and laptop, have a brain of Intel Core Duo. AMD's Shadow Somehow, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc, better known as AMD, remained in the shadow of Intel microprocessors. The company was born a year after Intel in 1969, making it the world's second largest producer of x86-compatible microprocessors and one of the largest manufacturers of GPU's, chipsets and other semiconductor devices. Currently the company through the restructuring process, initiated in 2006, and launched the first 64-bit processor, winning technology to Intel. AMD is a company with a much lower profile than Intel, but has not spent millions on marketing and advertising, is known for "making a commitment to a genuinely useful innovation for customers, putting the real needs of people to technical development, "according to Jerry Sanders, founder of AMD. AMD has long worked in the manufacturing of its chips somewhat in the shadow of the creation of Intel, since copying the microcode of the 8088 and 8086. Since 1986 the agreement for the production and sharing of information on Intel microprocessors broke, giving way to a series of lawsuits in which Intel AMD required to comply with treatment. Only in 1999, AMD has launched its first microprocessor, the K5, a clear allusion to the Kryptonite, the only possible material Superman beat Intel. But they should spend many years and the purchase of technology from companies such as Geode, ATI and NexGen, to match the support and good prices for Intel processors. In the history of AMD were many innovations and changes so that first K5 processor, you can say it was one of the companies that invested in research and development of the microprocessor industry. Today it offers a range of solutions in all areas of microprocessors, video cards and chipsets. It is also the largest producer of chips for TVs, game consoles and cell phones in the world. Improved K7 architecture, the new Athlon 64 FX processor, the world's first 64-bit Windows PC, offers the best performance in 32-bit applications today and the power of 64 bits for the next generation software, this chip will undoubtedly increase competition with Intel. They who know, AMD has been with several projects in this new millennium, one of them is called Fusion, which is to implement the capabilities of the GPUs on the same silicon chip microprocessors and so give them extra power applications graphics. Another major betting company will be in what they call the 50x15 Initiative, a crusade for half of the population has the ability to connect to the Internet by 2015, this is achieved through competition between several universities countries where they develop the best solutions for each region of the planet based on AMD technology. Among the products offered today ADM are: AMD Athlon ™ 64 FX AMD Athlon ™ 64 X2 dual-core desktop AMD Athlon ™ 64 processor for desktops Mobile Technology AMD Turion ™ 64 Mobile Technology AMD Turion ™ 64 X2 Dual-Core AMD64 Dual-Core After an outspoken leadership of Intel, the projections for 2007, say that finally this year will be AMD's microprocessors Rev G, 65 nm compared with 45 of Intel. The surprises for the world of microprocessors are at the front of the customer, and the struggle for the market, is an unstoppable agonal between the two companies. Remain in the hands of the guru of gaming performance testing of the AMD and Intel processors as well as the strong share market confidence that the company holds for each

  Clinton at the May Day parade

  The May Day parade in Moscow is the largest, most important military parade of the year. For 1992's parade, Yeltsin and Gorbachev invited Bill Clinton to come watch it with them. The parade commenced with a battalion of tanks, followed by a division of infantry, followed by armored personnel carriers and mobile artillery. They had mobile ballistic missile launchers, electronic jamming vehicles, and throughout the entire time the formations were overflown by squadrons of the most advanced interceptors, fighters, and long-range tactical and strategic bombers.

   

  

  Clinton, who had never been this close to war in his life, was suitably impressed. Then he noticed that, way back at the end of the parade, there was a disorganized, messy bunch of men in rumpled suits tagging along behind the last artillery pieces. "Who are they?" he asked.

   

  "Ah," said Yeltsin, "those are our economists!"

   

  "But I thought this parade was military..." said Clinton, confused.

   

  "Mr. Clinton," said Gorbachev, "have you SEEN the damage those men can do?"
