I'd love to hear the details about 'monopoly law'.

Simple. Yo don't get a wad of cash when you land on Free Parking. ;)

I don't have much to say about gaming. I think part of the issue with gaming is that unless you're running a Mac Pro (closest thing you'll get to a customizable PC) Apple's computer line isn't really suited to the kind of regular upgrades required for optimum gaming. Well, assuming the PC gaming market likes to keep optimizing their rigs to keep up with increasing hardware requirements.

Perhaps the Mac market clamoring for games is not a significant segment. Although Apple has been making inroads here lately. Doesn't seem to be much demand in this area, but I could be wrong. I don't pay much attention to games these days, much less games made for/ported to Mac.

They can't open OSX to PCs.

Why? Because Microsoft would buy them.

Microsoft Corporation ? one of the major competitors of the company ? has invested 16.1% of its total revenues on R&D, in the fiscal year 2007

"They" don't have to as of yet. The hackers have already made it so.

Being a monopoly isn't a crime - abusing a monopoly position to gain unfair influence in another market. It also seems illegal to use your position of monopoly power to restrict competition and ignoring laws that prohibit collusion, price fixing, and forced tie-in were illegal too. At least that's what the final decree and memorandum opinion seemed to say on the site you linked.

So, with that understanding, what exactly does that have to do with purchasing Apple (whom incidently, were found by the DOJ not to be a competitor to Microsoft in America -- by nature of market prevelance -- and in the EU -- by nature of being a 'boutique brand')?

It's fairly straight forward and well known. Something like "do not pass go" and "do not collect $200." I think if you break it you have to stay in jail for 3 rounds or something like that. And then there's something else too about doubles, but I'd have to consult a lawyer on that one, I'm not sure.

Apple uses that OSX86 community as a ginny pig.wonder why they have never tired to shut them down or even, try to make it harder for the apple OS not to run on non-apple hardware. trust me they could make that happen, in the blink of an eye but they don't and leopard is so late and not revolutionary just evolutionary.

And someone tell me what is the first thing you see when you go to http://www.apple.com/

should that tell you something ........

Yes, that's why back in August they had the new iMac on the front page and back in July they had all info about Leopard on the front page. They so don't care about their computers!

iPhone + iPods = more money then Leopard. Phil Schiller told when we were waiting for a bus yesterday.

The big surprise in Leopard????

Hmmm.....

They'll fix the look of the dock when it's positioned on the side as at the moment it's simply crap.

Anything else? Maybe some extra buffing around the edges.

That dock, in its current form, looks like garbage anywhere it's placed on screen. It's Vista-level eye candy. In other words: Unnecessary.

yes your right they don't care about there computers as much....

its all about the iPod/iphone/itouch ......

this is why leopard is late.....

I guess that's why they revamped their whole iMac line.

Revolutionary design, running the world's most advanced OS.

Why are you even in here??

Apple has had many projects this year, and even though they're a "small" company, they managed to achieve most of them in time.

- iPhone

- Apple TV

- An entire new line of iPods

- Updated MacBook Pros, MacBooks, Mac Minis, iMacs

- Updated keyboard

- Updated iWork (to include a new application)

- Updated iLife

- Soon OS X will be updated

Each of these small key points require a lot of work, it's not easy for them to work on so many projects without being able to expand yet...

Add to that:

    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      PowerToys is getting a new window management utility by Taras Buria If you use PowerToys on Windows 11 or 10, you probably know that the app has quite a few utilities for window management. Fancy Zones, Always on Top, Crop and Lock, just to name a few. Soon, Microsoft will add another one, and fans of Alt + Tab should be excited. Proposed by Clint Rutkas, the module has a very simple idea: use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between windows within one app. For example, if you have four browser windows open, Alt + ` will let you switch between them just like Alt + Tab switches between all running apps. Here is the utility description from its GitHub pull request: Like other PowerToys utilities, Alt Window Cycle will offer shortcut customization. You will be able to use default shortcuts (Alt + ` for the next window or Alt + Shift + ` for the previous one) or remap them to something else. For now, there is no information on when Alt Window Cycle will arrive, so we will have to wait for the next PowerToys feature update (Microsoft usually pushes them on a monthly basis). Recently, Microsoft released version 0.100, which reworked the shortcuts guide, introduced an extension gallery for Command Palette, and more. Shortly after, version 0.100.1 arrived as a bug-fixing update. PowerToys is available on Windows 10 and 11, and you can get the app from the official GitHub repository, the Microsoft Store, or winget. Although Windows 10 is no longer supported, PowerToys developers currently do not plan to drop the now-unsupported operating system. And with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year in the Extended Security Update, you can expect PowerToys to remain available on Windows 10 for quite a while.

      This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming

      Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
