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.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
