MacPublisher was the first Desktop Publishing program for the Macintosh computer Apple Macintosh ref The Art of Desktop Publishing, by Tony Bove , Cheryl Rhodes, and Wes Thomas, Bantam, 1986, p.182 ref , introduced in 1984, the same year that Apple Inc. Apple introduced the Macintosh. DTP competitors Ready,Set,Go and Aldus PageMaker were introduced in 1985 when Apple delivered the 512K Macintosh. MacPublisher was developed by Bob Doyle inventor and distributed by http ssc.sagepub.com cgi content abstract 3 3 274 Boston Software Publishers . Built on graphics primitives like QuickDraw that Bill Atkinson had originally developed for the Apple Lisa computer, MacPublisher included WYSIWYG layout for multi column text and graphics. QuickDraw was incorporated in the Pascal programming language Pascal toolbox for the new Macintosh and had been the basis for MacPaint . The Desktop Publishing industry exploded in the year 1985 with the introduction of the Apple LaserWriter printer in January and in July the 512K Big Mac and Aldus Corporation s PageMaker , which rapidly became the DTP industry standard software. It was Paul Brainerd , Aldus chairman, who gave the industry the name desktop publishing. MacPublisher had been called electronic publishing, after the industry then led by Atex software Atex Corporation, of which Brainerd had been a vice president. MacPublisher was the first non Apple application program to print in color on the ImageWriter II . It introduced spot color to desktop publishing. MacPublisher III was the first DTP program to rotate text and graphics, using a table look up for the necessary sine functions in one degree increments. MacPublisher builds a page differently than PageMaker and ReadySetGo do instead of creating an actual image of the page with all the text and graphics, MacPublisher created a page mockup that contains only rectangles that represent the location and size of text and graphic elements, and stored the elements as special text and pi ... more details
The term XTensions is a trademark of Quark, Inc. www.quark.com and describes a Plug in computing plugin for QuarkXPress , a popular page layout program . An XTensions module is a little program that only runs inside QuarkXPress and enhances existing functionality or adds new functionality to the main program. For example, XTensions can add new color models or full featured mathematical equation editor, allow this plugin to load additional file formats up to complex database publishing solutions that allow text on a layout to be pulled from a database and automatically create pages based on templates . QuarkXPress 1.0, which was first released in 1987, was&mdash beside HyperCard &mdash probably the first application ever to offer such an interface or application programming interface API for plug ins. As the interface is available to third party developers, there are hundreds of XTensions available, both from commercial developers as well as open source XTensions.

Bad Times is a computer virus hoax sent out by e mail . The original text was written by Patrick Rothfuss , author of The Kingkiller Chronicle . This virus does not actually exist, and the warning is meant to parody the alarmist message that spread the hoax of the Goodtimes virus . Like the Goodtimes hoax, the message warns of the horrible consequences that the virus can inflict however, unlike Goodtimes , where all of the consequences might have sounded plausible to people unfamiliar with computers, many of the claims made for the Badtimes virus are utterly implausible, such as that the virus will drink all your good beer and will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It is debatable whether the Badtimes message can be classed as a hoax , since the intent seems to be to make the claims ludicrous enough to not fool anyone. However, Sophos page on Badtimes classifies it under hoaxes and claims ... some users are still concerned by the message and we recommend you do not forward it to friends and colleagues. The parody even inspired a musical version, by the group Laika band Laika , where the female lyricist recites the contents of one of the versions of the virus. The Weird Al Yankovic song, Virus Alert , contains several similar claims in its lyrics.
