Window Management literally ripped from Windows 10, and that's coming from a Mac Fan.

Don't worry, the usual Apple zealots will explain in great detail how Apple's implementation is "better," "cleaner," "more intuitive," etc.

Apple aren't always the first to introduce a feature. They're good at polishing features to make them user-friendly.

Remember smartphones before the iPhone? GUIs before the first Mac? I rest my case.

Siri location based reminders Can you say CORTANA COPY!

What are you talking about? I have been able to do location based reminders for a very long time now. "Remind me when I get home to ...."

I love the attitude here. Window management was stolen from Windows Vista+? What about Windows 10 multiple desktops? I love that Windows 10 has that. It is not a copy of anything.

So if Siri was first, Cortana is a copy of that and we should all hate Microsoft for making it.

The hooting and hollering of the Apple minions is cringeworthy.  

 

a.k.a the 1st 3 rows of Apple Employees!

 

 

I would be interested to know how many times presenters use the word "beautiful".

 

STUNNING!

SUPER COOL!

Will people still pretend that Apple doesn't blatantly copy? Google Now, Windows Snap, all sorts of features being copied, they even have no shame in renaming PAssbook Wallet.

 

The most creepy aspect of WWDC is grown men shouting 'I love you' when Apple execs take the stage.

How are they blatantly copying?

According to people here, since Siri was first, there should never have been another digital assistant.

According to people here, we should despise Windows 10 for copying Linux and OS X by having multiple desktops.

Why does everything have to be a "copy" to you people? There can only be one 4K TV manufacturer? Whoever is first? Because when other companies are 4K, they are just copying, right?

Can't we just all get along and discuss the keynote rather than argue who copied whom?

Newsflash: Apple and Microsoft have been copying from each other since the 1980s.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
