CiSense parsed ten years worth of Apple’s trademark applications to produce an interesting widget that shows via the magic of a dynamic “tag cloud” how the company’s interests in technology have changed over the past decade.
While “computers” remains the most prominent term in the cloud throughout, terms such as “cd-rom” and “multimedia” disappear early on; “video,” “handheld” and “mobile” have become more prominent in recent years.
None of this is surprising, of course, but it is interesting to see a graphic representation of Apple’s evolving business focus.
