Apple Inc., formerly Apple Computer, Inc., is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Cupertino, California, that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers.
Software (or a computer running such software) that prevents unauthorized access to a network by users outside the network. (A physical firewall prevents the spread of fire between two physical locations; the software analog prevents the unauthorized spread of data.)
Industry:Software; Computer
Apple’s implementation of the IEEE 1394 standard serial bus for connecting digital devices such as cameras and hard drives.

Industry:Software; Computer
In object-oriented programming, the object given the first opportunity to respond to events. The first responder object is determined dynamically at runtime based on several conditions, including which view is selected or has focus and which view is willing to accept certain types of events. If the first responder does not handle an event, it passes the event to other objects in the responder chain.
Industry:Software; Computer
A point that uses fixed-point numbers to represent its coordinates. QuickTime uses fixed points to provide greater display precision for graphical and image data.
Industry:Software; Computer
A model for extending a continuous selection using Shift-click, in which the user can extend the selection on either side of the insertion point. Compare addition model.
Industry:Software; Computer
A digital audio simple message that uses a fixed-point numerical representation, such as 8.24. Fixed-point samples support fixed-point arithmetic, which is a less computation-intensive alternative to floating-point arithmetic.
Industry:Software; Computer
In Mach, a scheduling policy in which threads execute for a certain quantum of time, and then are put at the end of the queue of threads of equal priority.
Industry:Software; Computer
A rectangle that uses fixed points to represent its vertices. QuickTime uses fixed rectangles to provide greater display precision.
Industry:Software; Computer
In WebObjects, an attribute that is added from one entity to another by traversing a relationship.
Industry:Software; Computer
The process of copying all of the original data referred to by reference in QuickTime tracks into a QuickTime movie file. This can also be called resolving references. Flattening is used to bring in all of the data that may be referred to from multiple files after QuickTime editing is complete. It makes a QuickTime movie stand-alone—that is, it can be played on any system without requiring any additional QuickTime movie files or tracks, even if the original file referenced hundreds of files. The flattening operation is essential if QuickTime movies are to be used with CD-ROM discs.
