Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Maybe it's not for you.
I'm sure I'm not alone. They'd instantly sell a bajillion copies of OSX if you could install it on any PC. I don't know if they'd retain those customers, but.... I know I'd have to have dual-boot, for Windows programs and games and stuff.
Yeah Microsoft used to have a big ass rainy day stash too and Apple is gonna need there's if Jobs croaks soon.

theirs.
They haven't moved much in total market share, but if you look at the percentage of Apple machines sold in retail on a monthly or yearly basis, it's been steadily rising (albeit slowly) for years now.
They'll never take much of the total market share because there are already so many corporate windows machines out there that can't change platforms because it would mean changing most of their infrastructure and retraining their entire workforce. Same goes for *nix.
For starters, apple doesn't do volume licenses.
-too expensive
-much-needed software is often windows only
I'm not arguing that
I'm just saying it means that their market share will never be enormous no matter how successful they become
Still, try getting a bunch of macs acting fine on an enterprise level network and... well, it's a fucking pain.
that could be a problem for apple
"Mac OS X's dock is so good, Microsoft stole it."
like 70 things lined up across the bottom
also i never got how it would blend well when you got things open in fullscreen
its kinda like the taskbar where a fullscreen thing doesnt go down past the top of the dock right?
but theres empty space at the sides which looks like wasted space
Here is how mine looks with maximized firefox:
If I had a higher-res screen I wouldn't run it maxed out, but it's a Macbook so I do. Not a big deal. Obviously my dock are icons and such are modded.
Btw here's a neat tip for resizing desktop icons in Win7, works in Vista too, apparently. Left-click on the desktop, hold CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel. You can make the icons smaller than "small" this way.

Slashdot had an article last week about how Win7's taskbar isn't a ripoff of the dock.
Slashdot.
Also, Ctrl+Scroll Wheel will resize the entire webpage in Opera, not just text, which I think is nice. Also, you can use the keypad for it, like 8 is +100%, 9 is -10%, 6 is back to normal, etc.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
windows is insufferable caveman bullshit
I don't care.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
Unfortunately, the add-on I love in firefox never got ported to version 3... I may have to give Opera a shot.

Ack 3D dock without autohide.

[edit]Wait, that's not a question at all.
Man I use Xerox cuz Apple stole like everything from them first.

COME THE FUCK ON!
No no no.
You should encourage that.
As that increases the competition and makes Microsoft try harder.
Then you sit back and use the better version of windows.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
Still.
Slashdot said something that wasn't knee-jerk anti-Microsoft rhetoric.
It was weeeeeeeird.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
Is it really that much of a hassle? Because I'm interested. I just don't want too much hassle
