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:

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought 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 their place on the same day as always. 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.
