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.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
