Fuck Apple

[GrayWolf]

So, it's the Apple companies fault, that other companies have copied their software?

I'm confused.

Wasn't windows mostly designed at Apple, then stolen by a couple guys working for gates? I somehow think they have a pretty good reason to take legal action for software theft of any sort.

But I'm no geek, you cunts carry on about consumer rights and how corporations should take just wear the crime.

yeh just like that was 'copied' off Xerox and IBM. The only thing theydidnt to was get 'hooked' up with the PC manufactureres like Bill did, funny thing I watched a doco on the founder of apple, and he was close friends with Bill Gates at the start...all a bit incestuous really,

I saw something similar a week or so ago and I didn't know (DISCLAIMER: iPiss fannys might not want to read this next part,as when the crowd at Apple found out they were a might tad stunned)... when Jobs went back to Apple for his second shot, when Apple was in trouble, t'was Gates that funded Jobs when he produced the original immac.

The GUI of an OS does not determine what the OS actually is, that's the job of the kernel. For example, some distros of Linux use a shell that appears similar to OSX, whereas others aim for a more Windows feel. This doesn't mean that the OS is actually an OSX or Windows clone, it's just the GUI. The UI of iOS and Android ...........

I had a DUI once. Thought I'd cloned my kernel on the window.

No we wouldn't. Apple isn't interested in anything but making money. The don't want to know about open source. All they want is their own proprietary bullshit and to force users into paying for their overpriced crap. Android is good because it's an open source platform.

Thank fuck that's how they think.
I would hate to save a little bit of money but have to use products that don't do everything I need perfectly and effortlessly.

Wanna fight about it?

leave the grapes the fuck alone.

Why don't you start a thread about it?


On a related note, I was going to buy tomatoes today, but they were much to expensive. I do not care for the high prices at all.

Yup was the same Doco'... scary how they were all 'intergrated' back then,,, all B gates did was take the GUi and with some modifying, gave us Windows for workgroups then simply 'sold' it to IBM and other PC manufacturers... so in the end WHO really owns these GUi's and software?

I guess geeks attracted geeks back then . From what I remember Billy boy dumped OS2 and went the way of the windows... didn't know there was any selling involved, but I missed the first half of the doco. Shame as it looked quite interesting with the Disney shennanigans and vision he showed. Heh, good question. The down side is that if I write any software, whoever I'm working for at the time has rights to take if off me. So I build my own tools in between jobs... less and less these days.

Maybe we don't want you up here, you sound like an Apple supporter and we do not care for those types.

Unless you have sheep.

IBM and Xerox got everything they deserved. IBM set up a team to create the AT and XT PCs and then simply couldn't think of any application for it and disbanded the engineering team who created it and fed them into other projects. The pairing of a CPU and a math co-processor was a little bit of genius that went unremarked upon by IBM's management.

Xerox again, had no concept of what could be achieved with a mouse and a point and click GUI and dismissed that project as a dead-end. There are plenty of incidences of IP theft that are far more heinous than the Apple/Microsoft example, Edison's brutal personal handling of Tesla for instance.

The jury were probably a bunch of fucking n00bs. The GUI of an OS does not determine what the OS actually is, that's the job of the kernel. For example, some distros of Linux use a shell that appears similar to OSX, whereas others aim for a more Windows feel. This doesn't mean that the OS is actually an OSX or Windows clone, it's just the GUI. The UI of iOS and Android are very different, and one would have to be an idiot to not know the difference, unless the version of Android was deliberately designed to look like that of iOS.

The typical cager doesn't know the difference between a GSXR1000, R1, CBR1000RR or ZX10R either. They just think of them as "racey type looking bikes". Does that mean those bikes are all copied off each other? Maybe Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki should start suing each other for making the same product. But they're not actually the same, are they?

It's the same as the software piracy laws. Dumbasses with no idea how a computer works are making laws based on some bullshit they heard from yet another idiot.

Why didn't Samsung call you for expert testomony? They would have won for sure if they did.
