Apple using copied technology in Tiger:  Dashboard vs. Konfabulator

Dashboard vs. Konfabulator

Developer calls Apple’s Tiger a copycat

After having read both of these articles I am glad to admit that my opinion has remained unchanged. I like how everyone wants to assume Apple is all innocent and incapable of stealing technology (much like Microsoft has been repeatedly charged with). …This is not a new technology by any means, I will admit this point, however, Apple is blatantly stealing “widgets” (they are evening stealing the terminology of Konfabulator) practically pixel for pixel from a well established company. If Apple was going to steal this technology they should have at least offered to buy out Konfabulator…yet another reason why I despise Apple.  angry

First week back

Well I’m officially been back for a week. That seems very weird. This week has felt quite long, but it doesn’t fee like I have been here a week already. The beginning of a routine has already began. For that, I am quite happy. Routines seem to make time go so much faster. I have a plethora of feelings about this year. I want it to fly by, I want to be done with school at this point, but I want to cherish and enjoy the time with the people whom I care about. It’s quite a paradox. Ah well. It’ll be nice once, said cat is present at said TA, not necessarily my own TA for any readers of this…that will be quite nice to come home to a ball of fuzzy cuteness.  LOL

Windows Media Player 10 Final

Windows Media Player 10 (WMP 10) has finally finished it’s beta testing and has gone final. For anyone who has been testing this since beta you really won’t notice any dramatic changes. The major changes from the beta are several minor bug fixes, some code optimization for quicker code execution and quicker start up times, as well as a few minor GUI bugs. I would post a direct download link, but I have a feeling that would be useless considering the lack of people who frequent this site.

Just go here to download it: WMP 10 at Microsoft.com

I may post some screen shots later if the desire arises.
