Alecia Moore was born on September 8, 1979). She is the daughter of James and Judy Moore. James played guitar and sang songs for the young Alecia, who vowed from the earliest that she would become a rock star someday. She is better known as Pink, a pop star who gained prominence in early January of 2000.
Pink began her career as an R&B and hip-hop musician, with no real control over her sound or her image, which included bright pink hair. Her first album, Can't Take Me Home, was a modest success, due to the huge pop and rhythmic radio hit singles "There U Go" (hit #3 in July of 2000) and "Most Girls" (#2, in November 2000). The album's third single, "You Make Me Sick" was released towards the end of 2000, and also become a top 10 pop hit in early 2001 (it peaked at number 3 in February of 2001), thanks in part to its being featured in the movie Save The Last Dance.
In spring of 2001, Pink teamed up with rapper Lil Kim, R&B singer, Mya, and pop superstar, Christina Aguilera, on a remake of Patti Labelle's "Lady Marmalade". The track was produced by hot hip-hop producers Timbaland and Missy Elliott and was featured in Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge. The song's video was memorable because it featured the four singers dressed in very skimpy clothes and heavy makeup, like women who appear at the "Moulin Rogue" would typically be dressed. The video was a huge hit on MTV, VH1, and MTV2, and the song was one of the year's biggest at pop, rhythmic, and adult top 40 radio.
Towards the end of 2001, Pink decided to take her career in a new direction. Tired of being marketed as a white hip-hop and R&B singer, and eager to become a more serious songwriter and musician, Pink sought the help of former Four Non Blondes vocalist, Linda Perry. Together, Pink and Perry co-wrote and co-produced most of the tracks on Pink's sophomore album, Missundaztood, which was released in early 2002. The album's more alternative, rock sound could be heard immediately with its first single, "Get the Party Started".
"Get the Party Started" became a huge pop radio hit, as well as a big club hit. The album's other singles, "Just Like a Pill," "Family Portrait," and "Don't Let Me Get Me" were also some of 2002's biggest songs on pop radio, MTV, and VH1. Uptempo dance remixes of these more rock-oriented songs allowed them to become crossover hits on rhythmic radio and in the clubs, and the less R&B, more alternative rock sound of Missundazstood enabled all four singles to become modest hits at adult top 40 radio also.\\
In the summer of 2003, Pink returned with a new single from Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle, "Feel Good Time". Once again, Pink attempted to change her sound and image, recruiting electronic producer William Orbit for the track. "Feel Good Time" became Pink's first single to miss the top 10, peaking in the 60's on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 Singles chart, and garnering little play on any radio format besides mainstream top 40. However, Pink did not let the single's failure get her down; she is currently working on a new album with Orbit and Perry, to be released some time next year.
Coincidentally, "Pink" is also the name of a fictitious musician in Pink Floyd's The Wall. In the movie of the same name "Pink" is portrayed by Bob Geldof of the Boomtown Rats.

The inverted pink triangle (rosa Winkel) was a symbol used by the Nazis during the Holocaust to identify male homosexual prisoners. It was often larger than the other identifying triangles so as to allow homosexuals to be avoided and singled out at a distance. Between 10,000 and 600,000 gay men and women died in the Holocaust. See Homosexuals in Nazi Germany.
The pink triangle has since been reclaimed as a symbol of gay pride and the gay rights movement, and is second in popularity only to the rainbow flag.

Taligent was the name of an object-oriented operating system and the company dedicated to producing it. Today, both are gone.
What would eventually become Taligent started in a roundabout way in 1988. After Apple Computer's latest effort to develop a new Macintosh had culminated in the Macintosh II, a new version of the Mac OS had been developed to support it, System 6.0. At this point, the OS developers had a meeting in which they decided what they should be doing in the future, and started writing down their ideas on index cards. Ideas that were simple and could be included in a new version of the existing software were written on blue colored cards, those that were more "far out" were written on pink cards.
And so was born Pink, which would slowly develop into a quest for a new operating system that would be the best in the world. The idea was to produce an object-oriented OS on top of a new microkernel, which was likely inspired by what Steve Jobs was doing at NeXT Computer. Unlike NeXT, however, the Apple team would use the C++ programming language, and the system would run existing Mac OS programs as well.
By this time, however, the team writing the system based on the blue cards (now known as the Blue Meanies) were well advanced on what would be released in 1991 as System 7. The problem was that System 7 was so large it barely fit into any existing Macintosh, meaning that if Pink were going to run Mac OS programs, it would basically have no room for itself.
Meanwhile, corporate immune response within Apple essentially doomed Pink. To those working on Blue, Pink was seen as a project that might steal mindshare from their own work. As the turf-war grew, engineers started to abandon Pink to work on Blue, and whole projects were brought into one group or another in a huge flurry of empire-building.
Apple continued to talk about Pink as if it were to be the future Mac OS, and magazines throughout the early 1990s showed various mock-ups of what it would be like. One true innovation of the system was the People, Places and Things metaphor that attempted to provide the user with tools to easily move documents around between people and things (like fax machines) as easily as they could print them using current technologies. The system also added a component-based document model that was similar to Apple's OpenDoc (and later became OpenDoc). This was one of a very few concepts that was sorely missing from OpenStep, whose concept of a document was merely "a file on the disk."
As development dragged on, Apple eventually entered the AIM alliance with IBM and Motorola. IBM had extensive experience in object-oriented programming, notably their well-respected VisualAge Smalltalk programming system. They also had experience in microkernel design as a side-effect of their Mach based WorkplaceOS efforts.
Pink was then spun off from Apple as a joint project known as Taligent. Here the original Apple team was expanded with the addition of a number of IBM engineers, as well as a new CEO from IBM, Joe Gugliemi (apparently to the distaste of many of the Apple people). They then spent much of the next year trying to figure out what their new OS should do, and started a massive project surveying their customers, only to find the customers had no interest in a new OS at all. The Taligent team then decided to change focus. Instead of creating an object-oriented operating system, they would deliver an object-oriented programming system running on any modern operating system.
The result was CommonPoint. CommonPoint consisted of more than a hundred object-oriented frameworks and well over a thousand classes. It ran on top of AIX, HP-UX, OS/2, Windows NT, and a new Apple OS kernel called nuKernel (which didn't yet exist). This made Taligent essentially identical to OpenStep, the target system they had originally planned to one-up.
A combination of C++ and IBM and Apple's names on the project suggested that it might prove to be more successful than OpenStep. Early in 1994, Hewlett-Packard became a Taligent partner as well, which was odd considering that HP decided in the same year to produce OpenStep on their platforms. Several existing OpenStep customers stated they would move to Taligent as soon as it was ready. The first versions of CommonPoint shipped for AIX and OS/2 in mid-1995, but were met with a lukewarm response in terms of sales.
By 1995 Apple still didn't have an OS capable of running Taligent, and while work continued on the fabled Copland (which was designed to run Taligent), it was fairly clear to all involved that Apple had lost all interest in Taligent. Meanwhile, there was a reduction in force at the end of 1995 as Taligent made the decision to focus on the technology and leave marketing to their partners—which at this point meant "IBM."
Taligent then became a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBM. IBM used parts of Taligent to create the Open Class class libraries for VisualAge for C++. Taligent also created a set of Java- and JavaBeans-based development tools called WebRunner, a groupware product based on Lotus Notes called Places for Project Teams, and licensed various technologies to Sun for use in Java. After two years as a wholly-owned subsidiary, Taligent was dissolved January 1998 and the engineering teams became IBM employees.
