 Notes:

Apple I
is a desktop computer released by the Apple Computer Company in 1976.
It was designed and hand-built by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs had the idea of selling the
computer.
The Apple I was Apple's first product, and to finance its creation, Jobs sold his van and Woz
sold his HP-65 calculator for $500.
It was demonstrated in July 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California.

Apple II
An 8-bit home computer, designed by Steve Wozniak. Steve Jobs oversaw the development
of the Apple II's foam-molded plastic case and Rod Holt developed the switching power
supply. The first consumer product sold by Apple Computer.
Apple II had the defining feature of being able to display color graphics, and this capability
was the reason why the Apple logo was redesigned to have a spectrum of colors.

Silicon Valley
The word "silicon" originally referred to the large number of silicon chip innovators and
manufacturers in the region, but the area is now the home to many of the world's largest
high-tech corporations, thousand startup companies etc.
Silicon Valley is a nickname for the southern portion of the San Francisco Bay Area, in the
northern part of the U.S. state of California. The "valley" in its name refers to the Santa Clara
Valley in Santa Clara County, which includes the city of San Jose and surrounding cities and
towns.

Paul Allen and Bill Gates passion are Computers. Altair Project 8800, Albuquerque by Ed Roberts. The
Project Needs a Computer Language. They Gave it to them and they got the Altair as a gift.

Gates telling IBM they can give them an operating system called DOS (Disk Operating System), and thats
where the filmed pointed out through Ballmer that this scene was historic, that Gates is the richest man
in the world because of what started in that room. But even though he lied, it was successful.

Paul Allen bought an operating system from a small computer company in Seattle for $50,000.

John Sculley a former president of Pepsi cola as the new President of Apple Computers.
Do you wanna sell sugared water for the rest of your life, or do you wanna change the world and come
with me? Jobs convincing Sculley.

Steve Jobs Persuaded Xerox into showing them their inventions. Woz narrates that he feels like hes
looting from a defenseless village.

Woz said Xerox gave their inventions to them like junks, a junk that turned out to be Rembrandt and a
hundred billion dollars head start on everyone else.
On the other hand, Apple was tearing itself to pieces, Macintosh Group Vs. Apple II Everyone Else as
described by Woz making him quit apple and said hes going back to college.

Gates' and Allen's early work with MITS is juxtaposed against the involvement of Jobs and Wozniak with
the "Homebrew Computer Club".

Markkula was introduced to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak when they were looking for funding to
manufacture the Apple II personal computer they had developed.

---

(About the film) it explores the impact of the rivalry between Jobs (Apple Computer) and Gates
(Microsoft) on the development of the personal computer.

There was something beyond what you see every day -Jobs

Stealing doesn't mean (stealing), it means one can do more than what one did. Someone can make it
better and they did.
Top 3 latest updates on Computer Internal Hardware

Latest CPU
-Intel Core i9 x-series and Extreme
-With up to 18 cores and 36 threads, the Intel Core X-series processor family is our most powerful ever.
Produce your own amazing 4K or 360-degree videos. Power your gaming and virtual reality experiences.
Experience the capability to do it all.
- $1,999 Core i9 Extreme, which Intel proudly points out is the first consumer desktop processor to offer
18-cores and 36-threads.
-With up to 18 cores and 36 threads the Intel Core X-Series processor family is our most powerful ever.
Turn your PC into a studio: produce amazing 4K or 360-degree videos, stunning photos, or amazing music.
This is the ultimate tool for gaming and virtual reality experience the power to do it all.
-Intel Core i9-7980XE Extreme Edition Processor
-These chips are desktop-only, at least for now. That means laptop, tablet and hybrid fans are out in the
cold.
-Desktops and DIY kits with Intel's new X299 motherboard chipset will be available right away, so there's
no delay on building your own Core i9 rig.
-The Core i9 family will have up to 18 cores and 36 threads, making them possibly the most powerful
consumer PC chips ever made.
-Intels 7th-generation Kaby Lake architecture
-The new chips will consume 112W or 140W (depending on the chip), requiring a liquid-cooling solution.
Intel has said that there will be a 165W chip, too, but the company hasnt specifically identified it. Were
guessing it will be the Core i9-7980XE.
-Yes. All Core i9 CPUs will use a new Socket R4, a 2,066-pin LGA socket that will require a brand-new
motherboard. Intels Core i9 family is not backward-compatible with existing Skylake or Kaby Lake
motherboards.

Latest RAM
-In computing, DDR4 SDRAM, an abbreviation for double data rate fourth-generation synchronous
dynamic random-access memory, is a type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM)
with a high bandwidth ("double data rate") interface.
-Dell Inspiron 7566 i7
-Corsair Latest Dominator Platinum Ram
-Made up of 8x16 GB ddr4 2400 modules
-x99 motherboard with 8 slots and a bios that support
-Why do you need a 128gb ram
8.8 read and 8.8 writes
faster than a 750SSD
-Corsair Dominator Platinum
To break the barrier, we reached out to Corsair for its 128GB kit. The company actually has three speeds:
DDR4/2800, DDR4/2666 and DDR4/2400 at the Platinum level. The kit we used was the DDR4/2400 and
is comprised of eight 16GB modules. It comes in a matched set with two heatsink fans. The modules not
cheap: The fastest DDR4/2800 set is $2,120, while the two lower-speed kits are $1,980. In true computer
tradition though, prices have already begun to fall. Corsair has since released its Vengeance LPX line at
the same density and speed for $1,600.

Latest Data Storage Device

-60tb SSD by Seagate
-Seagate Technology has taken the wraps off of an unbelievable 60TB solid state drive (pictured above) at
the Flash Memory Summit in Silicon Valley. The drive features a power efficiency of just 4TB/watt (15
watts total), comes in a 3.5-inch form factor packed with ultra-dense 3D NAND flash from Micron, and
delivers more density than two 16TB 2.5-inch SSDs as a result.
-from Micron, and delivers more density than two 16TB 2.5-inch SSDs as a result.
The 60TB SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) SSD is intended for large-scale enterprise data centers that need
maximum storage and compute performance.
-The Seagate 60TB SAS SSD is due to arrive sometime in 2017, the company says. As for price, we imagine
its a classic case of if you have to ask, though Seagate is promising the lowest cost-per-gigabyte on the
market today. That said, the company is calling the 60TB SAS SSD a technology demonstration, so it may
still have some work to do on the reliability side before its ready for sale.
- almost quadrupling the size of the 16TB SSD that Samsung announced last year and began shipping this
past March for a cool $10,000.

-Samsung starts shipping the world's largest capacity SSD

It packs 16 terabytes in a 2.5-inch container.
-Samsung has started shipping the 16TB (well, okay, 15.36TB) SSD it showed off at the Flash Memory
Summit in California last year. The company says the positively tiny, 2.5-inch drive has the largest capacity
among all the SSDs in the world.
-samsung PM1633a
-Samsung started to ship its PM1633a SSD with 15.36 TB capacity to select customers in March and
recently it began to supply the drive to select resellers as well. The enterprise-class SSD is now offered by
two U.S.-based retailers and can be purchased for ~$10,000, which makes it one of the worlds most
expensive commercial solid-state drives.
-PM1633a / PM1633 First-class read speed and capacity.
PM1633a / PM1633 is suitable for online transaction processing (OLTP) and database(DB) applications
deployed in an all-flash array configuration. Built on V-NAND technology, the PM1633a / PM1633 exceeds
HDDs in both speed and capacity, achieving valuable cost effectiveness and outstanding reliability.
