An unsubstantiated (by me) story passed on to me regarding Dolley's discovery of ice cream goes like this: Betty Jackson, a black woman from Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, established a tea room on French Street in Wilmington, Delaware, where she sold cakes, fruit, and desserts to wealthy people for their parties.
Rise of the MacBook. Nowhere was this more evident than with the MacBook: the 13.3-inch Intel notebook Apple first released in May 2006. The MacBook wasnât the first Intel-based Mac (an Intel iMac as well as 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros were released in early 2006), but it was the most important.
Apple presented a bold redesign of its MacBook on Monday, based on the conviction that users value portability more than they do the line of connectors typically found along the edge of laptops. The new MacBook, which will go on sale in April, is the companyâs thinnest and lightest yet and is the combination of cutting-edge components from Appleâs partners. It has just two connectors, but they do multiple duty. Based on the new USB C standard, each port can be used to connect power supply, HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA and USB devices.
