U-Michal Ždanský Okwesenzakalo Iminyaka engu-30 ye-Macintosh, eyaqala uguquko kubuchwepheshe bekhompiyutha hhayi kuphela ngesistimu yokusebenza enesithombe esibonakalayo somsebenzisi, abanye babameleli abaphezulu be-Apple bebetholakala kunhlolokhono. Iseva MacWorld kuxoxwa naye UPhil Shiller, uCraig Federighi kanye noBud Tribble ngokubaluleka kweMac kule minyaka engamashumi amathathu edlule nekusasa layo.
“Zonke izinkampani ezakha amakhompyutha ngesikhathi siqala iMac sezihambile,” uPhil Shiller waqala inhlolokhono. Uveze ukuthi iningi labaqhudelana nabo ngamakhompiyutha ngaleso sikhathi base benyamalele emakethe, okuhlanganisa “umfowethu omkhulu” IBM yangaleso sikhathi, njengoba i-Apple yayiveza esikhangisweni sayo esidumile nesiguquguqukayo sango-1984 esasakazwa kuphela ngesikhathi se-American Football League Finals, lapho. ithengise amakhompiyutha ayo engalo yenkampani yaseChina iLenovo.
Nakuba i-Macintosh iguquke kakhulu eminyakeni engu-30 edlule, kukhona okungakashintshi ngayo. “Kusenezinto eziningi ezibalulekile nge-Macintosh yokuqala abantu abasaziqaphela nanamuhla,” kusho uSchiller. UBud Tribble, iphini likamongameli wophiko lwesoftware futhi owayeyilungu lokuqala lethimba labathuthukisi be-Macintosh ngaleso sikhathi, uyanezela: “Sifake ubuhlakani obumangalisayo emqondweni we-Mac yasekuqaleni, ngakho-ke igxile kakhulu ku-DNA yethu, osekuphele iminyaka engu-30. […] I-Mac kufanele ivumele ukufinyelela okulula nokujwayelana nayo ngokushesha ekuqaleni, kufanele ithobele intando yomsebenzisi, hhayi ukuthi umsebenzisi athobele intando yobuchwepheshe. Lezi yizimiso eziyisisekelo ezisebenza nakweminye imikhiqizo yethu."
Ukwenyuka okungazelelwe kwama-iPod kanye nama-iPhone nama-iPads akamuva, manje ahlanganisa inzuzo engaphezu kwe-3/4 yenkampani, kwenze abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi izinsuku zeMac zibaliwe. Kodwa-ke, lo mbono awunqobi ku-Apple, ngokuphambene nalokho, babona ukuba khona komugqa womkhiqizo we-Mac njengokhiye, hhayi ngokuzimela kuphela, kodwa futhi ngokuhlobene neminye imikhiqizo ye-iOS. "Kwaba ukufika nje kwe-iPhone ne-iPad okwaqala isithakazelo esikhulu ku-Mac," kusho u-Tribble, egqamisa iqiniso lokuthi abantu abafanayo basebenza ku-software ne-hardware yawo womabili amaqembu wamadivayisi. Uma ucabanga ukuthi lokhu kungaholela ekuhlanganiseni lezi zinhlelo ezimbili zibe yinto eyodwa, njengoba iMicrosoft izame ukwenza ngeWindows 8, izikhulu ze-Apple ziyakuchitha lokho.
“Isizathu se-interface ehlukile ku-OS X ne-iOS akukhona ukuthi enye yeza ngemva kwenye, noma ukuthi enye indala kanti enye yintsha. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi ukusebenzisa igundane nekhibhodi akufani nokuthinta umunwe wakho esikrinini,” kuqinisekisa uFederighi. U-Schiller wengeza ngokuthi asiphili emhlabeni lapho kufanele sikhethe idivayisi eyodwa kuphela. Umkhiqizo ngamunye unamandla awo emisebenzi ethile futhi umsebenzisi uhlala ekhetha lowo ongokwemvelo kakhulu kuye. "Okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi ungahamba kanjani ngokushelela phakathi kwawo wonke lawo madivayisi," uyanezela.
Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi ngabe iMac izobaluleka ngekusasa le-Apple, izikhulu zenkampani zicacile. Imele ingxenye ebalulekile yesu kuye. U-Phil Schiller uze athi impumelelo ye-iPhone ne-iPad ibeka ingcindezi encane kubo, njengoba i-Mac ingasadingi ukuba yikho konke kuwo wonke umuntu, futhi ibanika inkululeko eyengeziwe yokuthuthukisa inkundla kanye ne-Mac ngokwayo. “Ngendlela esibona ngayo, uMac useneqhaza okufanele alibambe. Iqhaza ngokuhlangana nama-smartphones namathebulethi akuvumela ukuthi ukhethe ukuthi iyiphi idivayisi ofuna ukuyisebenzisa. Ngokubona kwethu, iMac izoba lapha phakade, ngoba umehluko enawo ubaluleke kakhulu, ”kwengeza uPhill Schiller ekupheleni kwenhlolokhono.
Hhayi-ke, amaphasiwedi abelokhu ekhona unomphela futhi angakaze abekhona ngenye indlela. Ama-Amici athi afana namaRussia.
Nokho, ingabe kuqinisekisiwe ngokomlando :-D kodwa iqiniso lokuthi ukube i-apula alifikanga ne-iPod, ngabe alisekho i-apula lapha, cishe abasenandaba :-D
