Who Wants to Be a Mac-ionaire?

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Sep 11th, 2006

You have a few spare moments right now (I mean you're at work, or in class) so why not test your Mac trivia knowledge? Chris Adamson has whipped up a javascript based game that he called 'Who Wants to Be a Mac-ionaire?' Take the challenge and post your results in the comment.

I got up to the $50,000 question, how about you? Oh, and no cheating please.

The answers to our Mac celebs quiz

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jun 28th, 2006

Well, we're impressed! You all did very well with our Mac Celebrity quiz. Here are the official answers:
  1. Steve Wozniak, Co-founder of Apple, designer of Apple and Apple ||
  2. Guy Kawasaki, Macintosh evangelist
  3. Gil Amelio, one-time CEO of Apple. Let's just move on to #4, shall we?
  4. Jonathan Ive, designer of the iMac and iPod
  5. Al Gore, member of Apple's board (he also worked as Vice President of the United States for a while)
  6. There are two possible answers for #6. We'll accept Ellen Feiss, beloved switcher; also Ellen Hancock, former Apple CTO
  7. Jean-Louis Gassée, former Apple executive who wanted Apple to adopt his BeOS, and not Steve's NeXT.
  8. Bill Atkinson, creator of the great HyperCard
  9. Jef Raskin, Macintosh designer
  10. Rupert Lissner, creator of AppleWorks (That one was tricky)
Thanks for participating, and congratulations to everyone who got it right! You'll receive...the satisfaction of knowing you got it right. Sweet.

Quiz: Do you know your Apple celebs?

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jun 27th, 2006

Allright, TUAWers, it's your time to shine. You fancy yourself a Mac addict, eh? Then take our quiz.

Many of the big players in the history of Apple can be recognized by their first names only. Below is a list of first names of people connected with Apple Computer that are quite well known, in order of difficulty (easiest at the top). Think you can recall the surname for each one? Leave your guess in the comments, and we'll post the answer tomorrow. Bonus points: What is each person's contribution/connection? Good luck!

Hint: "Steve" and "Bill" are not "Jobs" and "Gates." That would be too easy.
  1. Steve
  2. Guy
  3. Gil
  4. Jonathan
  5. Al
  6. Ellen
  7. Jean-Louis
  8. Bill
  9. Jef
  10. Rupert, aka Robert
Thanks for the idea, Ross!
