問答題【2015年真題】（2015下）Apple may well be the only technical company on the planet that would dare compare itself to Picasso.
In a class at the company"s internal university, the instructor likened the 11 lithographs that make up Picasso"s The Bull to the way Apple builds its smartphones and other devices.The idea is that Apple designers strive for simplicity just as Picasso eliminated details to create a great work of art.
Steven P. Jobs established the Apple University as a way to inculcate employees into Apple"s business culture and educate them about its history, particularly as the company grew and the technical business changed. Courses are not required, only recommended, but getting new employees to enroll is rarely a problem.
Randy Nelson, who came from the animation studio Pixar, co-founded by Mr. Jobs, is one of the teachers of ""Communicating at Apple"This course, open to various levels of employees, focuses on clear communication, not just for making products intuitive, but also for sharing ideas with peers and marketing products.
In a version of the class taught last year, Mr. Nelson showed a slide of The Bull, a series of 11 lithographs of a bull that Picasso created over about a month, starting in late 1945. In the early stages, the bull has a snout, shoulder shanks and hooves, but over the iterations, those details vanish. The last image is a curvy stick figure that is still unmistakably a bull.
"You go through more iterations until you can simply deliver your message in a very concise way,and that is true to the Apple brand and everything we do," recalled one person who took the course.
In"What Makes Apple, Apple",another course that Mr. Nelson occasionally teaches, he showed a slide of the remote control for the Google TV, said an employee who took the class last year. The remote control has 78 buttons. Then, the employee said, Mr. Nelson displayed a photo of the Apple TV remote control, a thin piece of metal with just three buttons.
How did Apple"s designers decide on three buttons? They started out with an idea, Mr.Nelson explained, and debated until they had just what was needed a button to play and pause a video, a button to select something to watch, and another to go to the main menu.
The Google TV remote control serves as a counterexample. It had so many buttons, Mr.Nelson said, because the individual engineers and designers who worked on the project all got what they wanted.
