<\/div>\nWe’re well into 2010 (OK, 4 days), but there’s still a few more lists and “top tens” of the last decade to clean up. One of the more interesting Apple-related wrapups is this list by Fraser Spiers<\/a>, showing off Apple’s best technical feats of the past decade. There’s certainly tons of technical innovations by Apple in “the naughties” to choose from — it was the decade of the iPod and the iPhone. But Spiers’ list actually avoids direct mention of either of those, instead choosing to highlight some more Mac-based technical feats. Bonjour<\/a> is in there, as is the great Time Machine and Snow Leopard’s Grand Central Dispatch <\/a>system. Webkit<\/a> is probably an obvious choice, given all the places it’s shown up in Apple’s various releases.<\/p>\n And there are some more interesting picks on the list as well, including Aperture<\/a>, the underrated Exposé<\/a>, and even the unibody laptop design<\/a>. Some might argue that a few of these aren’t necessarily Apple’s innovations (I wouldn’t necessarily credit them with DVD burning and encoding in the 2000s), but it’s true that all of these were brought into a widespread, acclaimed form by Apple. If nothing else, a list like this shows just how much Apple has done for personal computing in the last ten years — we tend to think first, these days, of their handheld accomplishments, but they’ve had plenty of other technical feats as well.<\/p>\n [via Michael Tsai<\/a>]<\/p>\n TUAW<\/a>Apple’s top technical feats of the decade<\/a> originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)<\/a> on Mon, 04 Jan 2010 21:00:00 EST.
