Apple getting serious – Sirius XM Radio Skydock
Doing research on Apple, Inc. was really interesting, as I learned so much about the changes that took place since the birth of the company on April 1st, 1976 in Steve Jobs family garage in Cupertino, California. Steve Wozniak hand built the Apple 1 computer with his engineering skills and Steve Jobs used his knowledge and charisma to market the computer along with helping Ronald Wayne design the first company logo. This first logo was Isaac Newton under an Apple tree designed mostly by Ronald Wayne. How would you like to be Ronald Wayne? He was the third partner who sold out his 1/3 share of the company for $800. He and his Family must be still in shock over what they lost. Ouch! The Apple logo changed in late 1976 to a Rainbow bitten Apple and remained until it changes for the last time 1998. The 3rd design was a monochrome theme logo that is still maintained today as Apple is a proven leader in innovation and technology and the branding of the Apple company name in 2009.
Apple was incorporated January 3rd, 1977 without Wayne. Jobs brought in multi-millionaire Mike Markkula to help fund the incorporation of Apple. Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the late 1970’s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Listed below is a sequence of events so that you can get a good view of the never ending changes and innovations that have taken place with Apple, Inc. in the early years leading up to where they have come today in 2009. In its 33 years of history they had good and bad leadership, but rest assured they are in good hands again since the day Steve Jobs came back to the company just over 12 years ago. The company is on the cutting edge of technology and is leading the way to future technology and expanding its business to just about the entire world. Steve Jobs had the vision years ago to take the computers to Europe and now the Apple Iphone and the Ipod touch is changing the world once again with his ideas and visions. The Ipods, Itunes, Iphones and the Apps store and the Sirius XM Skydock is pure Genius. Apple is helping to connect the world. Continue
