Here's an idea, Apple: Stop pissing people off

[Asher]

Maybe your marketshare delta will be + instead of -

You may remember my previous thread about the Y'z Dock, which is a nifty little QuickLaunch-replacement thing.

It is now no longer in development, and is not allowed to be distributed anymore because Apple's legal team decided to be *******s (again).

About the stop of development\distribution of Y'z Dock

I received the warning of piracy from Apple Computer, Inc.

I admitted that "Y'z Dock" was imitation of "Dock". And I decided to stop development and distribution of "Y'z Dock". This stop is lasting. It is NEVER resumed.

Moreover, I do not permit re-distributing "Y'z Dock" by others. Please NEVER re-distribute "Y'z Dock".

And this warning act by Apple Computer, Inc. is lawful and just. Please NEVER slander this warning.

Thank you for your understanding.

I apologize to Apple Computer, Inc. and the persons concerned.

And people say MICROSOFT is the evil empire...Apple may not be an empire, but

Asher, do you know where I could download this? I have no idea what it is or does, but....

This is like a forced confession from the 1600s or something.

Well f**k you too Apple.

[Ted Striker]

Well Microsoft owns a large stake in Apple so technically Apple is evil and trying to take us all over.

Only Linux can claim 150% angelic status...

Have you seen Powebook G4 with 17 inch screen? That thing is just beatiful...

Here's an idea, Asher: stop *****ing about a company that has a 2% worldwide marketshare. It makes you seem even more petty that you usually are.

Considering the fact, that Microsoft stole the whole Winblows design from Apple it's a bit understandable that they're wary of piracy now. But I agree.

Apple is evil!
Pear is evil!
Microsoft is evil!
Sun is evil!
IBM is evil!


oh, and ...

MacOS X, Y and Z is evil!
Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT, 2000, XP, AB, CD and EF is evil!
AIX, SCO Unix, HP-UX, Free-, Net-, Open- and Closed-BSD, Linux and Nixnux are evil
Oh, and atrocities like VAX/VMS of course too!

CP/M forever!

[Skanky Burns]

Yeah, but its not like apple didn't steal the winblows design from others. Apple sUx0rZ.

I couldn't care less about any of this. And I wonder how many people here feel exactly the same way about it.

You mean Xerox.

PC-DOS is a blatant rip-off of CP/M, so Apple should take this leaf from Billg's book.

[Skanky Burns]

I didn't specify who Apple stole it off, but yes.
