Philip Houska U-Apple ubhekene nelinye icala lobunikazi, kodwa kulokhu kuyicala elingandile. Indoda yaseFlorida izama ukuyisa inkampani kaCook enkantolo ngokukopisha imiklamo yakhe edwetshwe ngesandla yemishini yokuthinta kusukela ngo-1992. Ifuna isinxephezelo okungenani samabhiliyoni ayishumi (amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-10).
Konke kwaqala ngo-1992, lapho u-Thomas S. Ross eklama futhi edweba ngesandla imidwebo emithathu yobuchwepheshe yedivayisi futhi wayibiza ngokuthi "Idivayisi Yokufunda Nge-elekthronikhi", ehunyushwa ngokukhululekile ngokuthi "idivayisi yokufunda ye-elekthronikhi". Umzimba wonke wawunamaphaneli angama-rectangular ayisicaba anamakhona ayindilinga. Ngokusho kukaRoss - iminyaka engu-15 ngaphambi kwe-iPhone yokuqala - yayingekho into enjalo ngaleso sikhathi.
Umqondo we "ERD" wawuqukethe imisebenzi enjalo abantu abahlonzwa ngayo kakhulu namuhla. Bekukhona nethuba lokufunda nokubhala, kanye nethuba lokubuka izithombe noma ukubuka amavidiyo. Ukunyakaza ngakunye kuzogcinwa kumemori yangaphakathi (noma yangaphandle). Idivayisi ingaphinda ishaye izingcingo. U-Ross naye wayefuna ukuxazulula ukunikezwa kwamandla ngokuphumelelayo - ngaphezu kwamabhethri endabuko, wayefuna nokusebenzisa amandla ama-solar panels idivayisi eyayizoba nawo.
Ngo-Okthoba 1992, indoda yaseFlorida yafaka isicelo selungelo lobunikazi lomklamo wayo, kodwa eminyakeni emithathu kamuva (ngo-April 1995), Ihhovisi Lelungelo Lobunikazi lase-US lalichitha icala ngoba izimali ezidingekayo zazingakakhokhwa.
Ngo-2014, uThomas S. Ross wavuselela imiklamo yakhe futhi lapho efaka isicelo se-copyright e-US Copyright Office. Ecaleni, uRoss manje uthi u-Apple wasebenzisa kabi imiklamo yakhe kuma-iPhones, ama-iPads kanye nama-iPod touch, ngakho-ke ufuna okungenani amabhiliyoni ayi-1,5 womonakalo kanye nesabelo esingamaphesenti angu-XNUMX sokuthengiswa komhlaba wonke. Ngokusho kwakhe, i-Apple yambangela "umonakalo omkhulu futhi ongenakulungiswa ongakwazi ukunxeshezelwa ngokugcwele noma ukukalwa ngokwezimali." Isikhathi sizosho ukuthi kuzoqhubeka kanjani enkantolo.
Umbuzo usamile, nokho, ukuthi kungani lo muntu egxile ku-Apple+ kuphela hhayi kwabanye abakhiqizi abaqhamuka nemiklamo efanayo yemishini yabo.
Ngingasho ukuthi angamangalela amazon ngenxa ye-kindle 3 :)
Kusobala ukuthi i-Apple ayizange isungule umqondo omusha kodwa yaphelelisa kuphela (yize ngokungangabazeki ngokuphawulekayo) umqondo we-PDA, kodwa lo muntu ubambezelekile ngempela. kufanele bamfake ebhukwini eliqondile bamshaye ungqimphothwe ngokuba nesibindi sokuthwalisa inkantolo ngobudedengu obungenanjongo.
Engingakuqondi wukuthi akashongo phambilini ukuthi useneminyaka engu-10 ehlala emgedeni?
Ngicabanga ukuthi i-Apple izobaleka nayo njengomlotha oshisayo wesaga... :-)
