Computer-aided design - Architecture. The software package may produce its results in several formats, but typically provides a graphically-based result which is then able to be used to create concept sketches for assessment and approval, and eventually working drawings. An example would be a structural design package used to assess the integrity of a steel-framed building by performing all the calculations necessary to determine the size and strength of the components, and the effect of such things as wind-loadi ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of a wide range of computer-based tools that assist engineers, architects and other design professionals in their design activities. It is the main geometry authoring tool within the Product Lifecycle Management process and involves both software and sometimes special-purpose hardware. Current packages range from 2D vector based drafting systems to 3D parametric surface and solid design modellers. CAD is sometimes translated as "computer-assisted", "computer-aided drafting", or a si ... Including:

The Apple I was an early personal computer, and the first to combine a keyboard with a microprocessor and a connection to a monitor. The Apple I was designed by Steve Wozniak originally for personal use. Wozniak's friend Steve Jobs had the idea of selling the computer. It was sold as Apple's first product, beginning in April 1976. Its retail price was US$666.66. About 200 units were produced. Unlike other hobbyist computers of its day, which were sold as kits, the Apple I was a fully-assembled circuit board containing about 30 ...

The Apple Cinema Display is a flat panel monitor made by Apple Computer. Older models ran DVI, USB, and 25V power all through a single ADC connector. Current models use plain DVI, for better compatibility. Older models came in high density plastic frames with an easel-style stand. Newer models have an aluminum stand that matches the look of Apple's Power Mac G5 computers. They come in 20-, 23-, and 30-inch models. While designed to match Apple computers, the displays are also compatible with PC computers that are equipped with the appropriate video card. The 30-inch Cinema HD Display's plug is Dual Link DVI, which r ... Including:

The console is the text output device for system administration messages, particularly those from the BIOS or boot loader, the kernel, from the init system and from the system logger. On traditional minicomputers, the console was an RS-232 serial link to a terminal such as a DEC VT100. This terminal was usually kept in a secured room since it could be used for certain privileged functions such as halting the system or selecting which media to boot from. Large midrange systems, e.g. those from Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard a ...

Computer surveillance is the act of surveilling people's computer activity without their knowledge, by accessing the computer itself. Computers make excellent surveillance tools because they can do things without their owners' knowledge or consent. Most computers have connections to networks, which can be exploited (through security cracking) to gain access to any confidential data that may be stored on the computer. Additionally, if someone is able to install certain types of software on a system, they can turn it into a surve ... Including:
