From the Paper
"To answer this proposed question, we must assume facts not in evidence: that Eve and the apple are real and not illusory. As Locke would have it: as God has set some things in broad day-light, as he has given us ..."

Abstract
In 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started a company called Apple to produce and sell the computer they had designed in their spare time. This paper examines how Apple's products have defined the personal computer industry for its entire history. Most current computer products can be traced directly back to Apple and those that cannot still bear the marks of Apple's influence. It looks at how the first successful PC was the Apple II, which brought computing in to homes and schools and how the Macintosh made graphical user interfaces affordable and accessible to users outside of research laboratories.
From the Paper
"For home users, Jobs positioned the iMac as a "digital hub", which would be the center for all a user's multimedia content. Apple introduced a digital music player, the iPod and a compatible music download service, the iTunes Music Store. A few months later, Apple released versions of both products that worked with Windows PCs; the iPod and iTunes quickly dominated their markets. While competing products have caught up in terms of features and price, Apple is holding on to its lead in this market."

Abstract
The iPod is a digital music playing device whose design is simplistic and yet attractive with functionality and ease of use incorporated into its structure. It plays digital music files in its own format as well as the popular and cross-platform MP3 format. Apple designed and distributed the iPod within the greater framework of its iTunes music download system. In this regard, the iPod is an interface of sorts between the listener and the music distributor. The iPod has morphed far beyond a simple product into a cultural icon of the new millennium. It has now moved into video and video distribution models based on the same iTunes platform with an iPod video player that comes with a wider screen. This paper describes the Apple iPod device, its function, what it is capable of and how its success has benefited the Apple company.

"Apple Computer was in the forefront of the personal computer revolution in the 1970s and 1980s. In the period, Apple introduced the first integrated personal computer named Apple I, and other successful modes such as Apple II and Mac that set the standards of user-friendliness in PCs. Since that time, the company has seen a number of ups and downs. It has made several wrong turns, lost a significant share of the PC market, and gone into red for long periods of its operation. Apple, has, however been down but never out. It has bounced back from the brink several times by introducing innovative products such as the stylish iMac computer, the iTunes music store, and the market-leading iPod line of portable music players. Today, Apple Computer has the unique distinction of being the only surviving company from the early days of PCs. In this paper I shall trace the fascinating history of Apple Computers starting with the beginning, the introduction of Apple II, Lisa and Macintosh, Job's departure from Apple, Apple's slump, the return of Jobs and Apple's revival, and finally Apple's success in the digital music market."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that Apple Computer has had a roller coaster existence since its founding in 1977. Its PC market lead shot down in the early 1980?s by IBM, Apple has had an on-again-off-again profile ever since. The paper discusses the many predictions to Apple?s end for over a decade. However, although, Apple has never been able to regain its lead foothold on the market, some feel it is far from folding. The paper looks at Apple's financial situation, its intentions for its many profitless stores and its future marketing strategies.
From the Paper
"In July 2002, Apple reported a slide in quarterly earnings and revenue. This was a blow to the recovery it began a year ago. Earnings ?fell to $32 million or 9 cents per share in its fiscal third quarter from $61 million or 17 cents per diluted share a year earlier and $40 million or 11 cents per share in the March quarter? (Apple pg). Apple?s sales were $1.43 billion after $1.48 billion from the previous year, and $1.5 billion in the March quarter, ?which Apple originally had expected to improve on by $100 million?"

Conclusion and Recommendations
From the Paper
"One of the unintended consequences may be the demise of many music stores that once sold CDs and the demise in the sell of CDs themselves. Perhaps Steve Jobs knew that iTunes and iPods would change the manner in which people around the world listened to music but it is not clear if the company knew the results would be this significant. Another unintended consequence has been lawsuits filed against the company. It seems that the Apple Company which specializes in music distribution for the Beetles sued Apple Computer Inc. because it breeched an agreement between the two companies that guaranteed that Apple Computer Inc. would not distribute music. At the time the agreement was made, Apple Computer had no way of knowing the advances in technology that would be made and that someday a computer company would have the capacity to distribute music on such a grand scale."

Financial Projections
From the Paper
"Even though India may seem to offer great investment opportunities, the cost raises a real problem that no possible investor can overlook at present. As long as the tax system regarding imports doesn't change, many investors might disregard the possibility of investing in India only because of the cost."
"From a different point of view, all the obstacles could turn into advantages if Apple decided to manufacture the iPods in India and sell them on a different market. The Indian State does not demand any tax pay for the goods produced in the country and taking into consideration the specialized and less expensive work field we mentioned at the beginning of the paper, this seems the most viable solution for a possible collaboration between Apple and India."

"The first Apple Macintosh was by today's standards not that much more powerful than standard calculators. Based on the Motorola 68000 processor with a system bus speed of 8 MHz system bus speed, with 128K Standard RAM, an additional 128K Motherboard RAM, 3.5" diskette drive, and a 9" monochrome screen all packaged in a beige case the first Apple Macintosh looked revolutionary. Selling for $2,500 however the Mac quickly began to gain interest from software programmers interested in the new computer's approach to graphics. The Motorola 68000 processor was specifically chosen for its ability to be programmed at the Assembler level for greater control of graphics."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Apple Computer, Inc. has rocketed to the top of the technology industry with the incredible performance of its two core products, its mp3 player Ipod and home computer Macs. The paper also points out that Apple's penchant for creativity combined with their overall ability to create user friendly but technologically sophisticated products has won them loyalty from customers and continued raves from the world community. The paper also points out that Apple's success within these two markets, however, will not go unchallenged. The paper then takes a close look at Apple's challenges within their mp3 and home computer divisions and analyzes their strategies for overcoming these challenges.
From the Paper
"Apple's mp3 division has been at the heart of its revolution from a dying niche brand to one of the most potent forces in the technology industry. Its Ipods have been cited as having a 92.3% market share of all hard drive based music players, this is an incredible statistics since no company had more than 23% market share of the mp3 market up until the late 1990s. Their incredible growth, however, is facing some roadblocks as internal and external problems have developed. Their first primary challenge is that there has been an increase in competition over the past three years."

Abstract
This paper takes a peek into the corporate culture of the Apple Computer corporation. According to the paper, despite the image the company projects of being very hip, there is a very strong work ethic and commitment to deadlines that isn't common across other high tech companies globally. The paper reports that a sixty or seventy hour work week is average for the typical Apple employee, and the higher the position the greater the commitment required.
Outline:
A Glimpse at Apple's Corporate Culture
Apple's Financial Position in 2006
From the Paper
"The company attracts workaholics looking for a cause to completely commit themselves to. As a result of this dynamic and the fact that in many of the company's years it has been thinly staffed, there is almost always more work to be done than people to do it. As the company has at times fought for its survival and had to rely on unconventional approaches to getting work done, it has earned as reputation for being nonconformist. As the brand thrives on this image the fact is that Apple is one of the hardest working and most driven PC companies in the world, an attribute that is responsible for their survival as others have fallen. A sixty or seventy hour work week is average for the typical Apple employee, and the higher the position the greater the commitment required. Guy Kawasaki (1990), head of Software Evangelism, writes in his book The Macintosh Way, of the hours that he would invest in planning software developer visits to convince them to write applications for the Apple Macintosh. Kawasaki was a big reason the Apple Macintosh succeeded as he created a very strong and reliable group of software developers that provided Apple with the necessary software applications to make the Macintosh usable. The company would eventually adopt an Open Source platform approach to software development and greatly increase the options for its loyal customers in the process."

Apple Computers, 2002.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Unable to compete on either price or selection, Apple has comfortably settled in on being number two in the computer market, but that doesn't negate their being number one in the hearts and minds of those in the know. The paper shows that whether they admit it or not Apple promotes and encourages a cult-like devotion to their products. The paper examines reasons for consumers' devotion to Apple, including its emphasis on individuality, power, ease and community, as well as using classical musician Yo Yo Ma as their spokesperson.
From the Paper
"The Apple world is tidy, clean, and simple. It emphasizes four things, individuality, power ease, and community. It's gone from the incandescent colors of two years ago, when lower-priced IMACS and IBOOKS dominated its pages two years with ibooks back to whites, deep sea blues, and soft grays. It portrays the soft aesthetic of a futuristic world in harmony while maintaining what could be called a neoclassical look. Their style of type, geometrical design conscious of the golden rule of proportion, along with their choices of colors recalls the temples of ancient Greece. That the OSX symbol for their operating system appears countless times like some Latin acronym gives it a Roman look."

"Apple/Intel Announcement Reveals New Products, New Challenges." This analysis of a press release discussed the introduction of Apple's introduction of the iMac desktop computer and the MacBook Pro notebook computer at the Macworld Expo in January 2006. These products were the first of products based on Intel technology that Apple plans to release. Apple plans to release the remainder of these products before the end of the year."

On "After Apple-Picking", 2002.
An essay on the poem ?After Apple-Picking? by Robert Frost.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the Robert Frost poem "After Apple-Picking", which describes the sleep and dream after a day of apple picking. It investigates Frost's uses of tone and symbolism to emphasize the correlation between sleep and death. The paper also notes the author's use of the apple for its biblical symbol of the fall of man.
From the Paper
"?After Apple- Picking? by Robert Frost is a poem that tells and illustrates the sleep and dream that the narrator had dreamed in the poem after he completed his activity for the day, which is apple-picking. The poem, aside from the narrative of the voice of the story, illustrates effectively the difference between sleep as a physical activity of human beings, that is, sleep is discussed here literally, but sleep here is also a figurative element of the story. Looking more closely, sleep, for the narrator, is synonymous with impending death, and this is exactly what the narrator felt and dreamt about in the poem. ?After Apple- Picking? has a theme, primary plot, and use of tone and symbolism to emphasize the point that Frost illustrates in the poem, which is to give us, the readers, an idea of how sleep is identified with death, and how life becomes precious to the narrator as he experienced his dream, and felt his impending death."
