Blue Meanies (Yellow Submarine)
The Blue Meanies are a fictional army of fierce, buffoonish, music-hating beings and the main antagonists in the surreal 1968 Beatles animated film '' Yellow Submarine''. They allegorically represent all the bad people in the world. Their visual appearance was mostly designed by Heinz Edelmann. Producer Al Brodax said that the Chief Blue Meanie resembled production coordinator Abe Goodman. Description The Blue Meanies are focused on the occupation and silencing of Pepperland—a colorful, musical utopia that lies beneath the sea.

Blue Meanies (Apple Computer)
The Blue Meanies of Apple Computer was an engineering group primarily responsible for the architecture of System 7 during the early and mid 1990s. The name, a reference to the evil characters of Pepperland in the movie '' Yellow Submarine'', originated with the "Pink" and "Blue" split in Apple's operating system planning. "Pink" was to be the further-out project that ultimately became Taligent, and "Blue" designated incremental improvements to the shipping Mac OS. "Meanies" describes the group's architectural role, which frequently entailed instructing or negating engineers in other groups. Though the Meanies have sometimes been characterized as the "coders of System 7", the Mac OS was by then sufficiently large that major subsystems such as QuickDraw and QuickTime were developed and maintained by specialized groups, and the Meanies primarily focused on orchestrating the components together. The name appeared outside of Apple as an Easter egg starting in System 7.0.1, where the t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
