Microsoft love the OS X Dock.

Right. I think it was IRIX that was first to support 64-bit processing.

Since IRIX is a 'UNIX', it is in reality a forefather to NeXTSTEP and OSX. So technically... ;)

Well, IRIX is an operating system based on Unix, it's not "a Unix." And Linux is actually "Unix-like." There's a difference between Unix and Unix-like. IRIX was released before NeXTstep (1988 vs. 1989), but the two are largely unrelated, as they only share the Unix kernel in common. I wouldn't really say that IRIX is a forefather to Mac OS X in any way. But your definition may vary.

No, they stole the idea from Microsoft! How convenient that they're suddenly bringing out a 64-bit OS now that 64-bit Windows is gaining momentum and even Adobe has ported their flagship products to it!

Apple stole the idea of having a 64-bit OS from Microsoft? :blink: Go now. Lie down. Have some rest, you may be delirious.

I think he's being sarcastic, not factual. I think most people here are plenty knowledgeable and now that neither Apple nor Microosft "invented" the 64-bit kernel, both are merely taking advantage of it.

That's how it starts. It's a slow rot but it's there. In time, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft shifts even more American jobs overseas.

Let me get this straight, Apple outsources ALL manufacturing to China using slave labor. = Good

Microsoft uses Designers and Engineers from around the world to develop software for a global market = Bad

You really are stupid

:rolleyes:

And you're a spammer who has no idea and spouts insane rubbish. But live and let live I guess.

Everything made in China = Slave labor?

Have a look where your precious PC motherboard / processor / ram / case / psu even your Microsoft mouse and keyboard are made? Idiot.

And actually, Quanta manufactures MacBooks and iMac computers under contract for Apple. So if you want, take it up with them.

My PC was made In China, I never said It was not made In China, but my PC was NOT made In one of Apples sweetshops.

And stop sending me PM's stupid.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
