query: Belgium is comprised of three regions.

pos: Belgium Belgium ( -LSB- ˈbɛldʒəm -RSB- België -LSB- ˈbɛlɣijə -RSB- ; Belgique -LSB- bɛlʒik -RSB- ; Belgien -LSB- ˈbɛlɡi̯ən -RSB- ) , officially the Kingdom of Belgium , is a sovereign state in Western Europe bordered by France , the Netherlands , Germany , Luxembourg , and the North Sea . It is a small , densely populated country which covers an area of 30528 km2 and has a population of about 11 million people . Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe , Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups : the Dutch-speaking , mostly Flemish community , which constitutes about 59 % of the population , and the French-speaking , mostly Walloon population , which comprises 41 % of all Belgians . Additionally , there is a small group of German-speakers who live in the East Cantons located around the High Fens area , and bordering Germany .   Historically , Belgium , the Netherlands and Luxembourg ( along with parts of Northern France and Western Germany ) were known as the Low Countries ; it once covered a somewhat larger area than the current Benelux group of states . The region was called Belgica in Latin , after the Roman province of Gallia Belgica . From the end of the Middle Ages until the 17th century , the area of Belgium was a prosperous and cosmopolitan centre of commerce and culture . From the 16th century until the Belgian Revolution in 1830 , when Belgium seceded from the Netherlands , the area of Belgium served as the battleground between many European powers , causing it to be dubbed the `` Battlefield of Europe , ''  a reputation strengthened by both world wars .   Today , Belgium is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance . It is divided into three regions and three communities , that exist next to each other . Its two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia . The Brussels-Capital Region is an officially bilingual ( French and Dutch ) enclave within the Flemish Region .  A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia .  Belgium 's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its political history and complex system of governance , made up of six different governments .   Belgium participated in the Industrial Revolution  and , during the course of the 20th century , possessed a number of colonies in Africa . The second half of the 20th century was marked by rising tensions between the Dutch-speaking and the French-speaking citizens fueled by differences in language and culture and the unequal economic development of Flanders and Wallonia . This continuing antagonism has led to several far-reaching reforms , resulting in a transition from a unitary to a federal arrangement during the period from 1970 to 1993 . Despite the reforms , tensions between the groups have remained , if not increased ; there is significant separatism particularly among the Flemish ; controversial language laws exist such as the municipalities with language facilities ; and the formation of a coalition government took 18 months following the June 2010 federal election , a world record . Belgium is one of the six founding countries of the European Union and hosts the official seats of the European Commission , Council of the European Union , and European Council , as well as a seat of the European Parliament in the country 's capital , Brussels . Belgium is also a founding member of the Eurozone , NATO , OECD and WTO , and a part of the trilateral Benelux Union . Its capital , Brussels , hosts several of the EU 's official seats as well as the headquarters of many major international organizations such as NATO.Belgium is a member of , or affiliated to , many international organizations , including ACCT , AfDB , AsDB , Australia Group , Benelux , BIS , CCC , CE , CERN , EAPC , EBRD , EIB , EMU , ESA , EU , FAO , G-10 , IAEA , IBRD , ICAO , ICC , ICRM , IDA , IDB , IEA , IFAD , IFC , IFRCS , IHO , ILO , IMF , IMO , IMSO , Intelsat , Interpol , IOC , IOM , ISO , ITU , MONUC ( observers ) , NATO , NEA , NSG , OAS ( observer ) , OECD , OPCW , OSCE , PCA , UN , UNCTAD , UNECE , UNESCO , UNHCR , UNIDO , UNMIK , UNMOGIP , UNRWA , UNTSO , UPU , WADB ( non-regional ) , WEU , WHO , WIPO , WMO , WTrO , ZC . Belgium is also a part of the Schengen Area . Belgium is a developed country , with an advanced high-income economy and is categorized as `` very high '' in the Human Development Index .

neg: Koekelberg Koekelberg ( -LSB- kukəlˈbɛʁg -RSB- ; -LSB- ˈkukəlˌbɛrx -RSB- ) is one of the nineteen municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region in Belgium . It is bordered by Ganshoren , Jette , Sint-Agatha-Berchem and Sint-Jans-Molenbeek . On January 1 , 2006 , the municipality had a total population of 18,157 . The total area is 1.17 km ² , which gives a population density of 15,486 inhabitants per km ² .   The municipality , the smallest in the Brussels region by population , is dominated by the Basilica of the Sacred Heart or Koekelberg Basilica , one of the largest Roman Catholic churches in the world .

neg: Lordship of Mechelen The Lordship of Mechelen was until 1795 a small independent Lordship in the Low Countries , consisting of the city of Mechelen and some surrounding villages .   In the early Middle Ages , it was part of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège , which was confirmed in 910 . In practice , the area was ruled by the local Berthout family , against the will of the Prince-Bishops of Liège . The Duchy of Brabant tried to annex the Lordship , but as a reaction , Liège gave the area in 1333 to the County of Flanders . The Flemish also did n't gain complete and permanent control .   Mechelen was therefore later considered as one of the Seventeen Provinces and then as a province of the Southern Netherlands . The Dukes of Burgundy and later the Habsburg Emperors and Kings were personally Lords of Mechelen and for a while turned the city more or less into the capital of the Netherlands . They established here the highest jurisdictional court of the Seventeen Provinces , called the Great Council of Mechelen . Governess Margaret of Austria also held her Court at Mechelen . Later , the capital moved primarily to Brussels .   In 1795 the Lordship was abolished by the French revolutionaries and it became part of the French département of the Deux-Nèthes .  Today it is part of the Belgian province of Antwerp .

neg: Belgian nobility The Belgian nobility comprises individuals and their families recognized by the Kingdom of Belgium as members of a class of persons officially enjoying hereditary privileges , which distinguishes them from other persons and families .

neg: Municipalities with language facilities -RSB-   There are 27 municipalities with language facilities in Belgium which must offer services to residents in Dutch , French or German , in addition to their official languages . All other municipalities -- with the exception of those in the Brussels region which is bilingual -- are unilingual and only offer services in their official languages , either Dutch or French .   Belgian law stipulates that :  12 municipalities in Flanders must offer services in French ; of these 12 , six ( located around Brussels ) are now believed to have become majority French-speaking .  Wallonia contains two language areas :  In the French-speaking part of Wallonia , four municipalities offer services in Dutch and another two offer services in German .  All municipalities in the German-speaking part of Wallonia ( annexed after WWI ) offer services in French .  In Brussels , Dutch and French are co-official .  At the federal level , Dutch , French and German are all official languages .

neg: Belgium–Netherlands relations Belgian -- Dutch relations refer to interstate relations between the Belgium and the Netherlands . It can be seen as one of the closest international relationships in existence , marked by shared history , culture , institutions and language , extensive people-to-people links , aligned security interests , sporting tournaments and vibrant trade and investment cooperation . Relations were established after Belgium became independent from the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1839 . Both nations are great allies with cultural similarities and close cooperation between both governments . Dutch , known in Belgium as Flemish , is the most-spoken language in both countries . Approximately 35,000 Belgian nationals live in the Netherlands , while there are around 111,000 Dutch nationals in Belgium .   Thanks to their shared history and the Dutch language , the Netherlands and Belgium have strong cultural ties . In 1980 , the two countries set up the Dutch Language Union to encourage greater cooperation in the field of Dutch language and literature . The Union offers services including language tools like dictionaries and a language advice service , education in and about Dutch , literature and reading skills , and activities promoting the Dutch language in Europe and the rest of the world . The Union also works to showcase the two countries ' shared cultural heritage .   Belgium has an embassy in The Hague and consulates in Amsterdam , Maastricht , Nijmegen , Roosendaal , Rotterdam , Terneuzen , Vlissingen and Winsum , while the Netherlands has an embassy in Brussels and consulates in Antwerp , Ghent , Liège and Namur . Both nations are members of the European Union and NATO and , together with Luxembourg , form the Low Countries and the Benelux economic union .   Many television programmes are made mutually between the two countries , such as So You Think You Can Dance and Benelux ' Next Top Model . The two countries were joint hosts of the UEFA Euro 2000 football tournament and ( unfruitfully ) made a bid to host the 2018 World Cup football .

neg: Hasselt Hasselt ( -LSB- ˈɦɑsəlt -RSB- ) is a Belgian city and municipality , and capital of the province of Limburg . The Hasselt municipality includes the original city of Hasselt , plus the old communes of Sint-Lambrechts-Herk , Wimmertingen , Kermt , Spalbeek , Kuringen , Stokrooie , Stevoort and Runkst , as well as the hamlets and parishes of Kiewit , Godsheide and Rapertingen .   On 31 December 2007 Hasselt had a total population of 71,520 ( 34,951 men and 36,569 women ) . Both the Demer river and the Albert Canal run through the municipality . Hasselt is located in between the Campine region , north of the Demer river , and the Hesbaye region , to the south . It is also situated in the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion .

neg: Walloons in the Netherlands The history and presence of the Walloon people , i.e. francophone Belgians , in the Netherlands goes back to the foundation process of the Dutch state . Even more so , the region now known as Wallonia was part of the historical Southern Netherlands , a region now divided between the Netherlands , Belgium and the French Nord-Pas-de-Calais .

neg: Flemish painting Flemish painting flourished from the early 15th century until the 17th century . The term does not refer to modern Flanders but to the County of Flanders and neighbouring areas of the Low Countries such as the Tournaisis and Duchy of Brabant which delivered the leading painters in Northern Europe and attracted many promising young painters from other countries . These painters were invited to work at foreign courts and had a Europe-wide influence . Since the end of the Napoleonic era , Flemish painters had again been contributing to a reputation that had been set by the Old Masters .   The Franco-Flemish School of musical composition flourished at the same time .

neg: Republic of Bouillon The Republic of Bouillon was a short-lived French client republic , around the city of Bouillon in present-day Belgium , based on the duchy of Bouillon , which had existed between France and the Austrian Netherlands since the 15th century . Reforms , sponsored by the duke , abolishing manorialism and feudalism and establishing a constitutional basis for the monarchy did not prevent what many sources describe as the proclamation of a republic in April 1794 . The republic was short-lived , however , as the territory was annexed by the French First Republic 18 months later . In 1815 , after the Napoleonic Wars , the duchy was absorbed into the promoted Grand Duchy of Luxembourg , becoming a part of Belgium when that nation was founded in the 1830s .

neg: Namur Namur ( -LSB- namyʁ -RSB- , Dutch : , Nameur in Walloon ) is a city and municipality in Wallonia , Belgium . It is both the capital of the province of Namur and of Wallonia , hosting the Walloon Parliament , Government and administration .   Namur stands at the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers and straddles three different regions -- Hesbaye to the north , Condroz to the south-east , and Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse to the south-west . The city of Charleroi is located to the west . The language spoken is French .   The City of Namur includes the old communes of Beez , Belgrade , Saint-Servais , Saint-Marc , Bouge , Champion , Daussoulx , Flawinne , Malonne , Suarlée , Temploux , Vedrin , Boninne , Cognelée , Gelbressée , Marche-les-Dames , Dave , Jambes , Naninne , Wépion , Wierde , Erpent , Lives-sur-Meuse , and Loyers .

neg: Arrondissement of Mechelen The Arrondissement of Mechelen ( Arrondissement Mechelen Arrondissement de Malines ) is one of the three administrative arrondissements in the Province of Antwerp , Belgium . It is both an administrative and a judicial arrondissement , as the territory for both coincides .

neg: Zeelandic Flanders Zeelandic Flanders ( -LSB- ˌzeːu̯sˈflaːndərə ( n ) -RSB- , Zeelandic : Zeêuws-Vlaonderen ) is the southernmost region of the province of Zeeland in the south-western Netherlands . It lies south of the Western Scheldt that separates the region from the remainder of Zeeland to the north . Zeelandic Flanders is bordered to the south by Belgium .

neg: Law enforcement in Belgium Law enforcement in Belgium is conducted by an integrated police service structured on the federal and local levels , made up of the Federal Police and the Local Police . Both forces are autonomous and subordinate to different authorities , but linked in regard to reciprocal support , recruitment , manpower mobility and common training .   In 2001 , the Belgian police underwent a fundamental structural reform that created this completely new police system . A Belgian parliamentary report into a series of pedophile murders accused the police of negligence , amateurism and incompetence in investigating the cases . The loss of public confidence in the police was so great that the whole population deemed the reform indispensable .   The three former police forces , the municipal police , the national law enforcement service ( Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie ) and the judicial police ( assigned to the offices of the public prosecutors ) gave way to an integrated police service structured on two levels .

neg: Rattachism Rattachism ( Rattachisme ) or Reunionism ( Réunionisme ) is a minor political ideology which calls for the French-speaking Belgium or Wallonia to secede from the Belgian nation-state and become part of France . Brussels , which is majority French-speaking but enclave in Flanders , may be included within this ideology as may the six Flemish municipalities with language facilities for French-speakers . It can be considered a French-speaking equivalent of Orangism or Grootneerlandisme in Flanders .   The Rattachist ideology is associated with a faction of the Walloon Movement and is advocated by the political parties Walloon Rally and Wallonia-France Rally . Neither party has ever gained parliamentary seats .

neg: Reichsgau Flandern The Reichsgau Flanders ( German : Reichsgau Flandern ; Dutch : Rijksgouw Vlaanderen ) was a short-lived Reichsgau of Nazi Germany established in 1944 . It encompassed the present-day Flemish Region in its old provincial borders ( in other words , including Comines-Warneton but excluding Voeren ) . Brussels was also excluded and given its own territorial arrangement .

neg: Districts of Prussia Prussian districts ( Kreise , literally `` circles '' ) were administrative units in the former Kingdom of Prussia , part of the German Empire from 1871 to 1918 , and its successor state , the Free State of Prussia , similar to a county or a shire . They were established in the course of the Stein-Hardenberg Reforms from 1815 to 1818 at an intermediate level , between the higher provinces and the government districts ( Regierungsbezirke ) , and the lower municipal governments ( Gemeinden ) . Then part of a modern and highly effective public administration structure , they served as a model for the present-day districts of Germany   In the aftermath of World War I , the Prussian districts of Eupen and Malmedy ( Belgium ) were annexed by Belgium in 1925 , thereby causing the presence of a German-speaking minority .

neg: Regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina Bosnia and Herzegovina , like every European country is made of geographical and historical regions .

neg: Political parties in Belgium Belgium is a federal state with a multi-party political system , with numerous parties who factually have no chance of gaining power alone , and therefore must work with each other to form coalition governments .   Almost all Belgian political parties are divided into linguistic groups , either Dutch-speaking parties ( see also political parties in Flanders ) , Francophone parties or Germanophone parties .   The Flemish parties operate in Flanders and in the Brussels-Capital Region . The Francophone parties operate in Wallonia and in the Brussels-Capital Region . There are also parties operating in the comparatively small German-speaking community . No party family has a realistic chance of winning enough seats to govern alone , let alone win an outright majority .   Political parties are thus organised along community lines , especially for the three main communities . There are no representative parties active in both communities . Even in Brussels , all parties presenting candidates are either Flemish parties , or French-speaking . As such , the internal organisation of the political parties reflects the fundamentally dual nature of Belgian society .   There are no significant parties left who exist , or operate on a national , Belgian level .   From the creation of the Belgian state in 1830 and throughout most of the 19th century , two political parties dominated Belgian politics : the Catholic Party ( Church-oriented and conservative ) and the Liberal Party ( anti-clerical and progressive ) . In the late 19th century the Labour Party arose to represent the emerging industrial working class . These three groups still dominate Belgian politics , but they have evolved substantially in character .

neg: Grand Est Grand Est ( -LSB- ɡʁɑ̃.t ‿ ɛst -RSB- ;  Great East , Großer Osten -- both in the Alsatian and the Lorraine Franconian dialect ) , previously Alsace-Champagne-Ardenne-Lorraine ( ACAL or less commonly , ALCA ) , is an administrative region in northeastern France . It superseded three former administrative regions -- Alsace , Champagne-Ardenne , and Lorraine -- on 1 January 2016 , as a result of territorial reform which was passed by the French legislature in 2014 . Alsace-Champagne-Ardenne-Lorraine was a provisional name , created by hyphenating the merged regions in alphabetical order ; its regional council had to approve a new name for the region by 1 July 2016 . France 's Conseil d'État approved Grand Est as the new name of the region on 28 September 2016 , effective 30 September 2016 . The administrative capital and largest city is Strasbourg .

neg: Arrondissement of Nivelles The Arrondissement of Nivelles ( Arrondissement de Nivelles Arrondissement Nijvel ) is the only administrative arrondissement in the Belgian Province of Walloon Brabant , and thus comprises the whole province . Before 1995 , it was one of three arrondissements in the province of Brabant .   It is both an administrative and a judicial arrondissement . The territory of the Judicial Arrondissement of Nivelles coincides with that of the Administrative Arrondissement of Nivelles .

Its online services include the iTunes Store , the iOS App Store and Mac App Store , Apple Music , and iCloud .   Apple was founded by Steve Jobs , Steve Wozniak , and Ronald Wayne in April 1976 to develop and sell personal computers . It was incorporated as Apple Computer , Inc. in January 1977 , and sales of its computers saw significant momentum and revenue growth for the company . Within a few years , they had hired a staff of computer designers and had a production line . Apple went public in 1980 to instant financial success . Over the next few years , Apple shipped new computers featuring innovative graphical user interfaces , and Apple 's marketing commercials for its products received widespread critical acclaim . However , the high price tag of its products and limited software titles caused problems , as did power struggles between executives at the company . Jobs resigned from Apple and created his own company . As the market for personal computers increased , Apple 's computers saw diminishing sales due to lower-priced products from competitors , in particular those offered with the Microsoft Windows operating system . More executive job shuffles happened at Apple until then-CEO Gil Amelio in 1997 decided to buy Jobs ' company to bring him back . Jobs regained position as CEO , and began a process to rebuild Apple 's status , which included opening Apple 's own retail stores in 2001 , making numerous acquisitions of software companies to create a portfolio of software titles , and changed some of the hardware technology used in its computers . It again saw success and returned to profitability . In January 2007 , Jobs announced that Apple Computer , Inc. would be renamed Apple Inc. to reflect its shifted focus toward consumer electronics , and announced the iPhone , which saw critical acclaim and significant financial success . In August 2011 , Jobs resigned as CEO due to health complications , and Tim Cook became the new CEO . Two months later , Jobs died , marking the end of an era for the company .

neg: Apple A5X The Apple A5X is a 32-bit system-on-a-chip ( SoC ) designed by Apple Inc. , introduced at the launch of the third generation iPad on March 7 , 2012 . It is a high performance variant of the Apple A5 ; Apple claims it has twice the graphics performance of the A5 . It was superseded in the iPhone 5 and 5C by the A6 chip and the fourth generation iPad by the A6X chip .

neg: Manager (Mac OS) A Manager was any of a set of specialized components of the classic Mac OS operating system , including those that comprised the Macintosh Toolbox . Each of these Managers was responsible for handling system calls from applications running on the Macintosh , and could be built into the ROM or be loaded into RAM by the system .   Many of these Managers and their functions have been ported to or re-implemented in the Carbon application frameworks . Some of the Managers included in various versions of the Mac OS include :   Code Fragment Manager ( CFM )  Component Manager  Data Access Manager  File Manager  Mixed-Mode Manager  Resource Manager  Scrap Manager  Sound Manager  Speech Manager  Window Manager   Category : Mac OS development

neg: Apple event Apple events are the message-based interprocess communication mechanism in Mac OS , first appearing in System 7 and supported by every version of the classic Mac OS since then and by macOS . Apple events describe `` high-level '' events such as `` open document '' or `` print file '' , whereas earlier OSs had supported much more basic events , namely `` click '' and `` keypress '' . Apple events form the basis of the Mac OS scripting system , the Open Scripting Architecture ( the primary language of such being AppleScript ) .   The starting point is a dynamically-typed , extensible descriptor format called an AEDesc , which is just an OSType code specifying the data type , together with a block of type-dependent data . For instance , the OSType code inte indicates that the data was a four-byte signed integer in big-endian format .   Besides predefined type codes for various common simple types , there are two predefined structured descriptor types : an AERecord , which has data type reco ( record ) , and AEList with type list ( list or array ) . The internal structure of these contain recursively-nested AEDescs , while the AERecord also associates each element with a unique record field ID , which is an OSType . The Apple Event Manager provides API calls to construct these structures , as well as extract their contents and query the type of contents they hold .   The Apple Event Manager also supports coercions , which converts AEDescs from one data type to another . In addition to standard coercions , for instance between integer and real types , applications can install their own coercion handler callbacks , which handle conversions to and from custom data types .   An Apple event proper is an AERecord with fields that depended on the purpose of the event . In addition , it has attributes ( which are distinct from record fields , which are now called the parameters of the event ) from a set predefined by the Apple Event Manager . These specify what the event is supposed to do ( through event class and event ID ) , the target address to which the event is to be sent ( which could be a process on the local or a remote machine ) , and various other options for handling it . Remote machines initially had to be connected via AppleTalk , but Mac OS 9 added the option for connections via TCP/IP .   After sending an Apple event to its target process , the sending process can elect to receive a reply Apple event . This can contain various bits of information returned from the target about the processing of the original event , including an error code indicating success/failure , any information requested by the original event , and/or other appropriate information .   Apple events are the foundation of the AppleEvent Object Model , which in turn is the foundation of the OSA and AppleScript . , the official implementation of the Apple Event Manager API is available in C and its descendants , including C++ . Official bindings are also provided for Objective-C and Swift through the Cocoa API . Unofficial bindings also exist for other languages ( with varying degrees of limitation ) , including Perl , UserTalk , Ruby and Python .

neg: MacX MacX is a display server implementation supporting the X11 display server protocol that ran on System 7 , Mac OS 8 , and Mac OS 9 . It also ran under A/UX . Prior to X11R4 and the introduction of the PowerPC-based Power Macintosh , this server was developed internally by Apple Inc. for the Motorola 68000 based Macintoshes . MacX was initially developed within the Networking and Communications organization as one component of the Apple DEC Alliance suite of products , but later was moved to Apple 's A/UX group since X11 was ( and is ) an important part of UNIX user interfaces . Versions supporting X11R4 and X11R5 were developed for Apple by a small team of engineers at AGE Logic , Inc. , a San Diego , California company . AGE also OEMed the MacX software under the trade name XoftWare for Macintosh . Apple provided early versions of the Power Macintosh to AGE Logic , and the result was a binary that supported both the Power Macintosh as well as earlier , 68000-based systems .   AGE Logic was later acquired by a Silicon Valley company named NetManage in the mid-1990s . NetManage was headquartered directly across the street from Apple in Cupertino , California . XoftWare for Macintosh was merged into NetManage 's product offering for the Macintosh , which included a wide variety of standalone Internet desktop applications ( e.g. , telnet , archie search engine , gopher protocol , FTP ) , along with various software titles , mainly terminal emulators that were acquired by AGE Logic when it purchased Pacer Software earlier in the decade .   By 1998 , Apple had discontinued MacX as it transitioned from the classic Mac OS to the Unix-like Mac OS X , which had ample support for X11 ( earlier versions of Mac OS X did not directly support X11 , but as of Mac OS X v10 .3 , X11.app has been made available directly from Apple ) . NetManage disbanded its Macintosh group earlier , around 1996 , and as a result , discontinued support of XoftWare for Macintosh .

neg: Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) The Power Mac G3 series ( commonly known as the `` Blue and White G3 '' , or sometimes either as the `` B&W G3 '' , `` Yosemite G3 '' or `` Smurf Tower '' to distinguish it from the original Power Macintosh G3 ) is a short-lived series of personal computers designed , manufactured and sold by Apple Computer Inc. as part of their Power Macintosh line . It was introduced in January 1999 , succeeding the original `` beige '' Power Macintosh G3 , with which it shared the name and processor architecture but little else ; it was discontinued in favor of the Power Mac G4 line in August 1999 .   The Blue & White G3 used a modified version of the memory/PCI controller , the Motorola MPC106 ( codenamed `` Grackle '' ) ; it used the MPC106 v4 . The I/O `` Heathrow '' had been replaced by `` Paddington '' ( adding 100 Mbit Ethernet and power save features ) , the audio chip `` Screamer '' ( on the beige G3 's `` Personality Card '' ) had been replaced by `` Burgundy '' , and other controllers for Firewire ( Texas Instruments PCI-Lynx ) , for USB etc. were added .   Though still based on the PowerPC G3 architecture , the G3 B&W was a totally new design . The first new Power Mac model after the release of the iMac , it used a novel enclosure with the logic board on the folding `` door '' , which swung down onto the desk for easy access ( a design that was also used on all Power Mac G4 models except for the Cube ) , and borrowed the iMac 's blue-and-white color scheme . It also introduced the New World ROM to the Power Macintosh line .

neg: Aptoide Aptoide is a distributed marketplace for mobile applications which runs on the Android operating system . In Aptoide , unlike the default Google Play Store , there is not a unique and centralized store but each user manages their own store .   Currently , there are several versions of the Aptoide app : aptoide for smartphones and tablets , Aptoide TV - an edition for smart TVs and STBs , and Aptoide Kids - developed for children devices . Recently , Aptoide launched a VR App Store .   Aptoide also provides B2B solutions , allowing its partners to manage their own app store in an autonomous and customized way .   The Android application used to access the stores is open source , and there are several forks such as F-Droid The communication between the client and servers is done using an open protocol based on XML .   The concept is inspired by the APT packaging manager , which can work with multiple sources ( repositories ) . When the user wants a package , they use the client to search for sources where the application is stored .   The name Aptoide is formed from the words `` APT '' ( the Debian package manager ) and `` oide '' ( the last syllable of `` Android '' ) .   The Aptoide platform is available in over 40 languages , having reached more than 97 million users in 2015 and 2.8 billion downloads . In the various stores it is possible to find over 700.000 Android apps .

neg: IPod Touch The iPod Touch ( stylized and marketed as iPod touch ) is an iOS-based all-purpose handheld PC designed and marketed by Apple Inc. with a user interface that is touchscreen-based . It can be used as a music and video player , digital camera , handheld game device , and personal digital assistant ( PDA ) . It connects to the Internet only through Wi-Fi base stations , does not use cellular network data , and is therefore not a smartphone , though it has a similar design to the iPhone and is often referred to as the `` iPhone without a phone '' . Furthermore , it does not fit in Apple 's iPhone accessories such as their leather cases . As of May 2013 , 100 million iPod Touch units had been sold . It is also the most popular iPod model .   iPod touch models are sold by storage space and color , with all models of the same generation typically offering otherwise identical features , processors , and performance , in addition to available operating system upgrades ; an exception was the fifth generation , as the low-end ( 16 GB ) model was initially sold without a rear-facing camera . The current iPod touch is the sixth-generation model , released on July 15 , 2015 .

neg: Portable media player A portable media player ( PMP ) or digital audio player ( DAP ) is a portable consumer electronics device capable of storing and playing digital media such as audio , images , and video files . The data is typically stored on a CD , DVD , flash memory , microdrive , or hard drive . Most portable media players are equipped with a 3.5 mm headphone jack , which users can plug headphones into , or connect to a boombox or hifi system . In contrast , analog portable audio players play music from non-digital media that use analog signal storage , such as cassette tapes or vinyl records .   Often mobile digital audio players are marketed and sold as `` portable MP3 players '' , even if they also support other file formats and media types . Increasing sales of smartphones and tablet computers have led to a decline in sales of portable media players , leading to some devices being phased out , though flagship devices like the Apple iPod and Sony Walkman are still in production . Portable DVD players are still manufactured by brands across the world .   This article focuses on portable devices that have the main function of playing media .

neg: Apple Adjustable Keyboard The Apple Adjustable Keyboard is an ergonomic and adjustable keyboard introduced by Apple Computer in 1993 for the Macintosh personal computers at a retail price of US$ 219 . The keyboard attached to the computer via the Apple Desktop Bus ( ADB ) . The last Apple computer released compatible with this keyboard without using a USB to ADB adapter was the Power Macintosh G3 ( Blue & White ) , as it was the last one with the Apple Desktop Bus .   It aimed to solve repetitive stress injuries resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome , after several computer keyboard manufacturers were sued for poor design . The Apple Adjustable Keyboard came with contoured plastic wrist rests , and a separate keypad with function keys and arrow keys . This was the third and last time Apple offered a separate numeric keypad . Unlike its predecessors , it was not sold separately . The keyboard also included volume buttons and a record button on the right side of the keyboard .   It was hinged at the top , allowing the user to adjust the angle between the right and left sides of the keyboard . The split came between the key pairs : 5/6 , T/Y , G/H , and B/N . The space bar floated midway between the two parts . Although the keyboard addressed several ergonomic problems , it was reviewed poorly due to using a large amount of desk space , mainly because of the optional palm rests .   The keyboard uses Alps SKFS switches , which provide tactile feedback with a slightly `` clicky '' feel .

neg: App Installer The App Installer is a software component of Windows 10 , introduced in the 2016 Anniversary Update , used for the installation and maintenance of applications packaged in . appx or . appxbundle installation packages , loosely relational databases with an XML app manifest . The . appx and . appxbundle files contain either a Win32 or a Universal Windows Platform `` EXE file '' , icons for the Start menu and taskbar , a virtualized version of any registry keys needed , and any other assets needed for the installed app to function .   It is possible to install . appx and . appxbundle files on Windows 10 without either the installer or the Windows Store by using a command line . However , this requires Developer Mode to be turned on and most users were unaware of this capability . The app installer provides a more user-friendly interface that is opened by clicking on the installation package .   The design for the App Installer is similar to the one for the classic Windows Installer , which installs stand-alone MSI and EXE files . It shows the user the app name , the developer , the app 's Start menu tile , and a set of capabilities enabled by the app manifest . If the user clicks the Install button at the bottom right corner , the App Installer checks the app 's signature . Unlike the standalone installer , the App Installer will refuse to install an app without a valid signature . If the signature is valid , the app displays a blue installation progress bar and shows the user a button to launch the app once it is fully installed .   The App Installer is physically more flexible than Windows Installer . It can be resized and viewed in full-screen mode and the background changes based on the system-wide light or dark mode . Apps installed with the App Installer can be updated through the Windows Store . It is also possible to update a pre-installed app or app installed through the Windows , so long as version being installed with the App Installer has a higher version number than the one installed on the user 's computer . Since APPX installations are sandboxed , unlike traditional installs , it is possible to run multiple installations at once .   It is currently unknown whether themes in an . appx package can be installed with the installer ; currently , all available . appx packages with themes are distributed by Microsoft through the Windows Store .

neg: BlackBerry OS BlackBerry OS is a proprietary mobile operating system developed by BlackBerry Limited for its BlackBerry line of smartphone handheld devices . The operating system provides multitasking and supports specialized input devices that have been adopted by BlackBerry for use in its handhelds , particularly the trackwheel , trackball , and most recently , the trackpad and touchscreen .   The BlackBerry platform is perhaps best known for its native support for corporate email , through Java Micro Edition MIDP 1.0 and , more recently , a subset of MIDP 2.0 , which allows complete wireless activation and synchronization with Microsoft Exchange , Lotus Domino , or Novell GroupWise email , calendar , tasks , notes , and contacts , when used with BlackBerry Enterprise Server . The operating system also supports WAP 1.2 .   Updates to the operating system may be automatically available from wireless carriers that support the BlackBerry over the air software loading ( OTASL ) service .   Third-party developers can write software using the available BlackBerry API classes , although applications that make use of certain functionality must be digitally signed .   Research from June 2011 , indicated that approximately 45 % of mobile developers were using the platform at the time of publication .   BlackBerry OS was discontinued after the release of BlackBerry 10 , but BlackBerry will continue support for the BlackBerry OS . However , the latest devices , the BlackBerry Priv and the BlackBerry DTEK50 , use the Android operating system .

neg: Departmental boot image A departmental boot image is a boot image for any computer that has been enhanced by adding some applications and passwords specific to a task or group or department in an organization . This has many of the advantages of a thin client strategy , but can be done on any operating system base as long as the boot device is large enough to accommodate the boot and applications together .   A typical departmental Windows XP boot image is usually so large that it requires a DVD to store , and may be too large for network booting . Accordingly , it is usually installed on a fixed or removable hard drive kept inside the machine , rather than installed over a network or from a ROM .   There are some boot image control complexity and total cost of operations advantages to using a departmental boot image instead of a common boot image for the entire organization , or a thin client :  all the capabilities of a full operating system are available , not just those of a thin client  applications with inflexible software licenses need not be paid for the entire organization , but can be paid only for the departments that actually use them and have them installed on their machines  applications that interact badly can be segmented so that an accounting program and an engineering program do not `` clobber each other 's libraries '' or otherwise interfere as they would if both sets of applications were installed in one boot image  overall size of each boot image can be controlled to fit within network or removable disk limits   Disadvantages include the complexity of creating and managing several large boot images , and determining when a department needs to upgrade its applications . If each user is allowed to do this on their own , then , the discipline soon degrades and the shop will be no easier to manage than one that consists of one-off computers with their own quirks , frequently requiring re-imaging and whose issues are not really diagnosable nor comparable to each other . Some experts believe that any departmental boot image regime degrades rather quickly to this state without extraordinary discipline and controls , and advocate thin clients to ensure such control .   It is however increasingly possible to restrict users from installing `` their own '' applications on a standard boot image , and to automatically re-install when a variant boot image is detected . While this would be draconian in a large organization with one boot image it is often quite acceptable when the boot image is maintained at a departmental level and users can request that it be upgraded with a minimum of bureaucracy and waiting .

neg: Google Calendar Google Calendar is a time-management and scheduling calendar service developed by Google . It became available as a limited beta release on April 13 , 2006 , and exited the beta stage in July 2009 . It is available on the web and as mobile apps for the Android and iOS mobile operating systems .   Google Calendar allows users to create and edit events . Reminders can be enabled for events , with options available for type and time . Event locations can also be added , and other users can be invited to events . Users can enable or disable the visibility of special calendars , including Birthdays , where the app retrieves dates of births from Google contacts and displays birthday cards on a yearly basis , and Holidays , a country-specific calendar that displays dates of special occasions . Over time , Google has added functionality that makes use of machine learning , including `` Events from Gmail '' , where event information from a user 's Gmail messages are automatically added to Google Calendar ; `` Reminders '' , where users add to-do activities that can be automatically updated with new information ; `` Smart Suggestions '' , where the app recommends titles , contacts , and locations when creating events ; and `` Goals '' , where users enter information on a specified personal goal , and the app automatically schedules the activity at optimal times .   Google Calendar 's mobile apps have received polarized reviews . 2015 reviews of the Android and iOS apps both praised and criticized the design . While some critics praised the design for being `` cleaner '' , `` bold '' and making use of `` colorful graphics '' , other reviewers asserted that the graphics took up too much space . The Smart Suggestions feature was also liked and disliked , with varying levels of success in the app actually managing to suggest relevant information upon event creation . The integration between Google Calendar and Gmail was praised , however , with critics writing that `` all of the relevant details are there '' . The iOS app has been criticized for its lack of iPad support , and for the lack of a widget in the iOS Notification Center . An update in March 2017 added iPad support , and a blog post by Google announced that a Notification Center widget is coming in a future update .

neg: MacUpdate MacUpdate is an Apple Macintosh ( desktop ) app/software download website , which was started in the late-1990s . MacUpdate has been featured in several magazines and newspapers including The New York Times , USA Today , Detroit News & Free Press , The Philadelphia Inquirer , Macworld , and MacLife .   According to Inc. . Magazine in 2009 , MacUpdate ( est. 2006 ) was the 114th fastest growing privately owned company in the USA . Inc magazine also listed it as the fastest growing company in Michigan and the fifth-fastest growing retail company in the United States . In 2010 , the last year that data is publicly available for MacUpdate on that site , INC. . Magazine had Macupdate listed as the 233rd .   MacUpdate is updated daily , listing the newest updates and releases of Macintosh software for the Mac OS X operating systems . It does not list Microsoft Windows or Linux software , although it does list some software that has been ported from Linux and requires Apple 's X11 environment .   The website is free to use with or without signup . A membership service is also available that offers users expanded services such as email notifications , watch lists , daily email newsletters , and the ability to rate and review software , and discounts on software sales through their MacUpdate Promo website .   In 2007 , MacUpdate launched the MacUpdate Promo website , which offers a Macintosh application ( or bundle of applications ) at a discount . MacUpdate Promo also sells software bundles three or four times a year , which include up to 10 or more Mac applications , usually at around 90 % off normal price .   In July 2014 MacUpdate launched a new version of its MacUpdate Desktop application ( Version 6 ) which enables members to automatically update any Macintosh-compatible software on their computer that is also tracked by MacUpdate . Programs not tracked by the MacUpdate website are not able to be updated . Version 6 of the software , however , has attracted complaint from customers regarding its efficacy and reliability .   In addition , programs purchased through the Apple Store are , for the average user , incompatible with MacUpdate Desktop updates unless the program defaults to the Apple Store .   Nevertheless , MacUpdate has experienced a more than 50 % rise in its Alexa Traffic rating since its new partnership with AdRoll , a retargeting advertisement company , and the deployment of Version 6 of its MacUpdate Desktop application .   MacUpdate Desktop was a freemium app , giving users up to 5 free updates per month at no charge . Users requiring unlimited updates can do so at a further annual cost . MacUpdate also provides another paid membership option , which it calls promo membership , which provides unlimited Desktop downloads as well as additional promotional bundle incentives .   Starting with version 6.1.7 MacUpdate will not let you see updates or give you 5 free updates . You now have to pay $ 20 for a six month membership .

neg: List of Google Play edition devices The Google Play edition devices ( GPE ) is a series of consumer mobile devices sanctioned by Google that run the Android operating system . Unlike the standard versions of Android on these devices , which have received `` skins '' from the original equipment manufacturer , such as Samsung TouchWiz or HTC Sense , they run a `` stock '' version of Android , without any manufacturer or wireless carrier modifications , making them essentially like Google Nexus devices in terms of software but do not carry the Google Nexus branding , nor does their hardware differ from that of the original devices upon which the Play editions are based . Because of this , the software includes slight , under-the-hood changes to function on the original manufacturer 's hardware .   These devices are carrier unlocked and GSM-based , and have been offered exclusively through Google 's Play Store . Updates for these devices are delivered by Google ( bypassing carriers ) , but are supplied by the original device manufacturer .  Although the updates are not supplied directly by Google , as is the case with the products from the Nexus line , these devices receive Android updates at nearly the same time as Nexus products .   In January 2015 , Google stopped selling their final Google Play edition phone . While Google never officially announced the end of the program , no new phones have been announced since .

neg: Chicago (typeface) Chicago is a sans-serif typeface designed by Susan Kare for Apple Computer . It was used in the Macintosh operating system user interface between 1984 and 1997 and was an important part of Apple 's brand identity . It is also used in early versions of the iPod user interface . Chicago was initially a bitmap font ; as the Apple OS 's capabilities improved , Apple commissioned the type foundry Bigelow & Holmes to create a vector-based TrueType version . The typeface is named after the U.S. city of Chicago , following the theme of original Macintosh fonts being named after major world cities .   Susan Kare has stated that Chicago was the first font to be developed for the Macintosh . Before the team settled on the convention of naming fonts after `` world cities '' , it was called Elefont ( Elefont is also the name of a bold semi-serif typeface designed by Bob McGrath in 1978 ) . The first bitmap version included only a 12 pt . version . This font , with only very minor changes to spacing , was used for menus , dialogs , window titles , and text labels , through version 7.6 of the system . The TrueType version had many differences from the bitmap version , which became more apparent at greater sizes . One of Chicago 's features was that it could remain legible while being made `` grey '' ( to indicate a disabled menu item ) by the removal of every other pixel ( since actual grey type was not supported by the original Macintosh graphics hardware ) . The zero was slashed to distinguish it from capital `` O '' .   In Mac OS 8 , Charcoal replaced Chicago as the default system font . Chicago continued to be distributed as a standard component of the system , and Apple even urged developers to keep designing user interfaces for the Chicago typeface , since the new alternate fonts used the Chicago metrics as a foundation .   German-language versions of the Mac OS , as well as all language version of Mac OS 9 , had a different rendering of the 12-point version of Chicago . The letter W had two dips instead of one at the bottom of the letter , the letter V had its lower tip at the centre instead of veering left , and the letter I ( capital `` i '' ) had serifs at the top and bottom , distinguishing it from l ( lowercase `` L '' ) . A mix of this and the original Chicago was used in the original iPod .   Chicago was also used in Apple marketing materials . It was common to find this font in early amateur desktop publishing productions , since it was available as part of the system . While Apple gravitated away from Chicago following the adoption of the relatively easier-to-read Charcoal as part of the platinum theme in Mac OS , it was later revived in the user interface for the iPod music player , where legibility on a low resolution two-color screen once again became an asset . With the introduction of the iPod mini , a smaller typeface was needed , and the Espy Sans font from the Apple Newton was used . Finally , with the introduction of the iPod Photo , the color iPod interface changed to Podium Sans -- a bitmap font similar to the Myriad Pro typeface which Apple has adopted gradually for its marketing since 2002 .   Though the original font is no longer bundled with macOS , two Thai-language fonts bundled with macOS , Krungthep and Silom , use Chicago for their Latin letters and hence can be used as modern replacements .   Chicago is a registered trademark ( `` typeface fonts recorded on computer software '' ) , belonging to Apple since August 1996 .
