中國歷史
歷史詳解
埃克特於1941—1946年間就讀於賓夕法尼亞大學。他在該校結識了莫奇利,他們一起設計了最早的電子計算機——1946年的“埃尼亞克”(電子數學積分計算機)和1951年的“尤尼瓦克”(通用電子數字計算機)。這兩台計算機很快就被淘汰了,但它們引起了一場技術變革;這場變革的速度很可能是以往所有技術變革都無法相比的,使得世界變得不可復識。1983年,Steve Jobs開始聘請前百事可樂公司的主管John Sculley任蘋果的CEO,相信他會讓這棵未老先衰的蘋果“枯木逢春”。 他對Sculley的激將語被傳為佳話:“如果你留在百事可樂,五年後你只不過多賣了一些糖水給小孩,但到蘋果,你可以改變整個世界。”
1985年Jobs和Sculley的分歧越來越大。Macintosh 的銷量不斷下滑,給公司造成巨大打擊,公司的財政赤字到了無法忍受的地步。John Sculley勸說董事會解除Jobs的權力。Sculley 總結說:“如果沒有Jobs, 我們可以做得更好。” Jobs不得不離開了蘋果。他將這次分手作了浪漫的比喻:“我的心會一直留在那兒,和蘋果公司的關係就像是初戀,我會永遠眷戀蘋果,就如同任何男士懷念他的初戀情人一樣:緣盡情未了。”1993年6月蘋果公司免除了Scully的職務。
