Dogcow (original) (raw)
The dogcow, named Clarus, is a bitmapped image designed by Apple for the demonstration of page layout in the classic Mac OS. The sound she makes is "Moof!", a portmanteau of "moo" and "woof". Clarus became the archetype of surrealistic humor in the corporate culture of the original Macintosh group, particularly as the mascot of Apple’s Developer Technical Support as officially documented in Technote #31.

Clarus became the archetype of surrealistic humor in the corporate culture of the original Macintosh group, particularly as the mascot of Apple’s Developer Technical Support as officially documented in Technote #31. (en) Le dogcow (« chienvache » en anglais) est un animal fictif issu à l'origine d'une plaisanterie interne dans l'entreprise Apple et qui est devenu ensuite la mascotte de la communauté des développeurs Macintosh pendant la période 1986-2000 environ. (fr) Il Dogcow, o Muccane è un'immagine bitmap di proprietà di Apple Inc.. Ha la sagoma di un cane (Dog) ma ha le macchie come una mucca (Cow). Originariamente venne creato nel 1983 da Susan Kare, fa parte del font ed è memorizzato al posto della 'z'. L'immagine del dogcow inizialmente venne utilizzata dal sistema operativo dell'Apple per mostrare l'orientamento e il colore delle pagine da stampare, era mostrata nel pannello di configurazione della stampante. Fu variamente utilizzata nel sistema operativo, anche come immagine in movimento (in genere di profilo, rotante sull'asse trasversale) come segnale di attesa, in maniera analoga all'orologio o alla clessidra in uso sui sistemi Microsoft . Apple decise di rimuovere l'immagine nel sistema operativo macOS e questo produsse le accese proteste di molti utenti che erano affezionati al dogcow. Il verso del dogcow non è "mooo" (come una mucca) ne "woof" (come un cane), il suo verso è "Moof" ( o "fooM"). È la mascotte dell'Apple WWDTS (Worldwide Developer Tech Support group). L'originale dogcow si chiamava Clarus, nome inventato dai dipendenti dell'Apple. Microsoft usa una variante del dogcow nel suo programma di presentazione PowerPoint. (it) |

| dbp:text | Some people say that the dogcow hails from the sunny shores of the Middle of Nowhere. This location in the south Atlantic can be found in the Map control panel; simply type "Middle of Nowhere" and click Find. (en) There is a life-size picture of a dogcow conveniently located in the Finder. Look under "Page Setup..." Now look under "Options." Walla [sic], there is the dogcow in all its raging glory. Like any talented dog, it can do flips. Like any talented cow, it can do precision bitmap alignment. (en) Did they have a heated conversation and holler "Dog!" "Cow!" "Dog!" "Cow!" back and forth? We may never know. But one thing is clear, Mr. Zimmerman finally gave in and said, "It's both, OK? It's called a 'dogcow.' Now will you get out of my office?" (en) |
