Let us the take the example of iPhone and the iPod, their huge success in sales would not have been possible if they had not been fusioned with the Apple App Store and iTunes respectively. It has been noticed that Apple always tries to stick by the Seven interwoven areas known collectively as the Systematic Innovation Integration (Strategy, Product, Marketing, Process, Technology, Organization and Business Innovation). It is at the core of Apples such behemoth success story. Apple also has a history of working outside of the traditional boundaries of the tech industry to create an ecosystem designed for thriving innovation. RnD plays an important part in the work culture of Apple. Apple has its presence in software, hardware, logistics, and entertainment business and they have excelled in all. If we take the example of the App Store...

...point of contrast (PC). Remember that a point of contrast is a quality that both subjects possess in different ways. This is called a “difference in kind.” Apples and oranges both have seeds, but they have different kinds of seeds. Your points of contrast should avoid the Not/-Er Fallacy. In other words, you must write about the actual characteristics of each subject and not simply say one has X but the other does not, or that one has X but the other has more X. Topic Sentences (T) You will have two topic sentences in each paragraph. One will come at the beginning of the paragraph and identify the first subject as it relates the point of contrast (the general difference). After you have provided the necessary information (see below), use a transitional expression (on the other hand, in contrast, however) and write the second topic sentence which will identify the second subject as it relates to the point of contrast. Support Distinguishing Characteristics (DC) After each topic sentence, you will present in specific, clear detail the characteristics that distinguish the first subject from the second. The details you present will vary. If you were writing about the characteristics that distinguish an apple seed from an orange seed, you would need to use description in order to show the reader what makes the apples seed different. If you are writing about how a person is obsessed with his self-appearance, you would need to provide examples of the person’s...

...About Apples History The history of apples stretches back to the days of Adam and Eve, when it is believed to have been the “forbidden fruit” described in the Bible. Despite this long standing history, apples did not always grow naturally in New England. While the first apples are thought to have grown on the lower slopes of Tian Shan, a mountain range separating Kazakhstan and Krygystan, they also grew wild in Central and Southwest Asia, China, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Greece. Through conquest and exploration, apples were spread when Romans conquered England and when Spaniards brought them to Mexico and South America. It wasn’t until the mid 1600’s that the Pilgrims cultivated them in Massachusetts. It is believed that John Endecott, an early governor, was the first to bring an apple tree to North America, and the first orchard was planted on Beacon Hill by a clergyman named William Blaxton. It is Blaxton who is credited for growing the first named apple, the Yellow Sweeting. Once apples were established in New England, they played an active role in everyday life. As a fruit which was easily stored through the winter, as well as being very beneficial to settlers’ health, apples were a main staple in early settlers’ diets. Despite the fact that apples were not initially from North America, and have been growing disease-free for centuries in their native habitats, the early settlers found that the long, hot summers and cold winters of New England grew apples unlike...

...remotely close to Apple’s because of the difficulty it assumes. Developing a piece of technology as such will require a very strong R&D team which Apple is known for having. Apple’s high operational efficiency (Reuters 2012) will also hasten the process of manufacturing the wireless charger with precision, allowing Apple to keep up with the demand that is likely to increase. In which technological domains will you lead; in which will you follow or seek from external sources? Apples technological domain is hardware and software development. Though Apple is more specialized in software development it also designs and manufactures its own hardware so the wireless charger is within Apple’s domain. In addition, wireless technology such as wifi and bluetooth became such a critical part of our lifestyle very quickly and we are still increasingly becoming dependent on it. With us and technology becoming more dependent on wireless processing, it is natural for wireless power to be introduced and there is no better timing for apple to release wireless power than now. However manufacturing something like a wireless charger will be new to Apple. The designing will solely be done by Apple but they may not have the resources needed to complete the technology. If this is the case Apple will have to seek assistance from other companies such as GE to manufacture some parts of the Wireless power...

...between people is the key to a stable relationship. There is no denying that Frost uses two metaphors to support how a considerate amount of space that is shared with people is the magic for a sane relationship. While the two neighbors are on their way to fix the wall a neighbor states, “Oh, just another kind of outdoor game,/ One on a side”(21-22). This quote gives an explanation on how one neighbor takes the task more nonchalant than the other neighbor. The speaker compares how restoring the wall is more of a one player game. Meaning he practically has no say on what Player One does. In another part of the poem, the neighbors are repairing their wall the same neighbor thinks, “He is all pine and I am apple-orchard”(23). In this quote the neighbor is comparing themselves to a “apple-orchard” tree which means he is open to new ideas and allows people to be close to them. But then the they explain how their neighbor is a pine tree meaning they pictured them covered in barbed and sharp objects. You don't have to be a genius to know that somebody with barbed wrapped around themselves do not want to be conversating and getting too close to people. These metaphors may remind you of how a decent amount of space people put in a relationship helps their bond become stronger. While using two personification Frost conveys how having a suitable amount of room...

...I felt estranged. They all loved me, and I loved all of them, but I felt estranged. Something was separating us, but I had no idea what it was. I remembered back to last year, at this same time. I would sit in the high branches of this apple tree and call out to my little sister whenever I found a perfect apple. I would hide the two best ones up there in the sky and pass the rest down to her. Later, when Papa and the older boys were out in the field and Mama was doing the wash, she would climb up to meet me. We would sit against the rough bark of the tree, our legs straddling the branches, and steal our pieces of heaven. The apples were as sweet as ambrosia and crisp like the autumn air. We would whisper quietly about our dreams of leaving the farm behind and stepping out into the world. Her eyes would grow as round as the apples we ate as I told her of all the fantastic things that were waiting for us....

...7. Process Analysis (“How To”) NOTE: The following is general information about the rhetorical mode. It is not meant to take the place of any specific instructions given by your instructor for this assignment. If your instructor wants you to write your paper in a different manner, then by all means do it the way your instructor requires you to do it. Processing the Process Essay Here is some detailed information about writing your process (“How to”) essay. 1. The “big idea” behind the paper: Practically everyone knows how to do something very well. In fact, many people know how to do something so well that they could actually teach someone else to do it. That is the main purpose behind the process essay. You are to select something (a process) that you know how to do very well and then write a regular essay which “teaches” the reader how to do that same thing. 2. Here are some important specifics and details. Follow all of them very closely. The formal name of the mode is process analysis.
