Zmarł Jef Raskin, twórca Macintosha

[Gość: Komputerowiec]

61 lat ... wczesnie.
Mial wygodne zycie, jadl duzo jablek, uprawial sport, lubil sztuke to mu
chyba nie zaszkodzilo....
Pora wiec wyrzucic za okno komputer ....

Dziekuje Ci Jef !!!

[Gość: robert]

kiedys kupie sobie Maka, a o Tobie nigdy nie zapomne!

[Gość: ktos]

zniszczyl go stress,kiedy czytal glupie wypowiedzi internautow

[Gość: Komputerowiec]

Wiec jak widze calkowicie sie zgadzamy ze soba , ze gosc powinien wyrzucic
jednak ten swoj komputer, zeby nie czytac glupich wypowiedzi internautow.....

jeszcze jeden przyklad jak to w zyciu jest, jeden

[Gość: waldek]

wykonal prace i wykoncypowal Maca a drugi zgarnal kase i laury!! jaka to
sprawiedliwosc ?? Life is not fair ...mawial moj nauczyciel angielskiego i mial
racje 100% zawsze jakies gnidy, brazowe nosy, popluczyny tryumfuja i pozadni
ludzie umieraja w zapomnieniu na raka 61 roku zycia ehh

[Gość: bartek]

panowie nie zapominajmy o tym ze wymyslic cos to raz, a wdrozyc to i sprzedac to dwa.......mnie sie wydaje ze Raskin z Jobsem sie nie mogli dogadac z jakichs powodow (pewnie roznic ideologiczno-charakterologicznych) ale nie umniejsza to w zadnym stopniu tego co do firmy Apple wniosl Jobs.....mimo wszystko szkoda ze Raskin pozył tylko 61 lat. mam nadzieje ze byl szczesliwy.

niestety w/d oficjalnej strony Jeffa tak bylo ...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Preferred contact: [e-mail]
Reporters on deadline may call Aza Raskin at [phone]

Pacifica, CA February 27, 2005--Jef Raskin, a mathematician, orchestral soloist
and composer, professor, bicycle racer, model airplane designer, and pioneer in
the field of human-computer interactions, died peacefully at home in California
on February 26th, 2005 surrounded by his family and loved ones. He had recently
been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Jef created the Macintosh computer as employee number 31 at Apple in the early
1980s, revolutionizing computer interface design. Jef invented "click and drag"
and many other methods now taken for granted by computer users. He named the
Macintosh project after his favorite variety of apple, the McIntosh, modifying
the spelling for copyright purposes. Jef's article "Holes in the Histories"
<http://jef.raskincenter.org/published/holes.html> addresses some popular
misconceptions about the Macintosh Project. Jef strongly believed that
computers should make tasks easy for people, not the other way around. For
twenty-five more years, his work focused on improving interfaces, culminating
in his book, The Humane Interface (Addison-Wesley, 2000). Jef created the
Raskin Center for Humane Interfaces (RCHI), <http://www.raskincenter.org>,
which will soon release a preview of Archy, a culmination and exemplar of his
design principles. Archy redesigns the basic building blocks of computing to
demonstrate an entirely new paradigm for computer use. RCHI will continue under
the technical leadership of Jef's son, Aza Raskin.

Jef worked until the last days of his life to finish the code for Archy. He
told a friend ten days before he died, "When people get a chance to work in
Archy and see how much easier it is to do their work, we'll get enormous
support." He had completed almost all of the basic work by the time his health
took a turn for the worse a few days later.

Jef viewed good design as a moral duty, holding interface designers to the same
ethical standards as surgeons. Alluding to Isaac Asimov's first law of
robotics, one of Jef's mantras was that "any system shall not harm your content
or, through inaction, allow your content to come to harm." Archy implements
that principle by making it impossible to permanently lose your work. Archy
also replaces mouse movements, which many text editing programs require, with
much faster "Leap" keystrokes, reducing the likelihood of carpel tunnel
syndrome.

Jef originated the Macintosh project in 1979 despite strong opposition from
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and led the effort for the crucial first three
years. He left Apple in 1982 to found Information Appliance Inc., where he
created the award-winning Canon Cat in pursuit of his vision that a computer
should be an easy-to-use tool. Despite the rapid sale of twenty thousand units,
Canon terminated the project due to an internal dispute. Some Canon Cat owners
report continuing to use their Cats to this day.

After a decade studying cognitive psychology, Jef established a scientific
basis for the design of man-machine interfaces, bringing interface design out
of the mystic realm of guruism.

In his 2000 book The Humane Interface, Jef coined the term and founded the
field of cognetics, "the ergonomics of the mind," transforming interface design
into an engineering discipline with a rigorous theoretical framework. His book,
translated into more than nine languages, has gone through numerous printings
and become the standard text for more than 100 computing courses around the
world.

His sculptures have been exhibited at New York's Museum of Modern Art. One is
included in the permanent collection.

Jef's life and work are the subject of a documentary in progress, which will
continue to gather information and interviews from people who knew him. More
information is available at jefthemovie.com. Jef is survived by his wife of 23
years, Linda Blum; his children, Aza, Aviva, and Aenea; and his children in all
but name, Jenna and Rebecca. A memorial service will be announced at a later
date. For further information, e-mail [e-mail].

NAZWA MACINTOSH WZIELA SIE OD SPRZETU AUDIO

[Gość: KRETYNI :-)]

Proponuje poczytac chociazby copyrighty. Sa wyrazne podziekowania za uzyczenie
nazwy producentowi audio klasy hiend ze stanow. Ja rozumiem, ze dziennikarze
gazety poza poziom technicsa i jamnikow z bazaru nie wyszli, ale jak mozna
napisac taka bzdure, ze nazwa komputera pochodzi od jablek. Symbol jablka
pojawil sie pozniej, zrodlo nazwy bylo w innym miejscu ;p

NAZWA MACINTOSH WZIELA SIE OD jablek..

[Gość: najpierw poczytaj]

My primary role in this matter was to create the Macintosh project. I named it
for my favorite kind of eatin' apple, the succulent McIntosh (I changed the
spelling of the name to avoid potential conflict with McIntosh, the audio
equipment manufacturer).

szybko, beznadziejna sprawa dla 99% chorych ...

to od czego ?kogo? pochodzi w końcu nazwa Maca

[alek1956]

[Gość: bunny123]

Jabłka McIntosh. Nazwa została zmieniona ze względu na podobieństwo do nazwy producenta sprzętu
audio (dlatego Macintosh)
