I hope Moby and Stardock will be able to continue. Though I cant see how Apple can go after Mr.Y and not Stardock.

"Well, Stardock would most likely fight Apple over ObjectDock. Stardock had working versions of ObjectDock for quite awhile, but made certain that it would not infringe on Apples territory before they release it as freeware.

Not to mention, Stardock does have a history of standing up to Apples "Cease and Desist" orders. "

[sfx-si]

Yeah Apple does it again!!! - What a bunch of sad bastards apple are for going after a dock simulation program!!!

what next???, shortcuts, folders!!!


Won't matter anyway Apple won't be around for much longer, they had a chance a while back to diversify (the key to saving any failing bussiness) with an intel/x86 version of osx/aqua - but bottled it.... - probably scared of micro$oft!!!


Anyway enough ranting!!! - Big thank you Mr. YZ - Yours Apps were(still are great)

Well since he is meeting with the Apple representatives and Apple attorneys Monday, sounds legit to me

Yeah...I guess that does make it sound legitimate...sad days indeed when Apple sees fit to squash individual programmers like this.

My kudos to Mr. Y. for developing such an excellent dock though...and hopefully this can be resolved for the betterment of everyone.

Hell, maybe they want to hire Mr.Y. This all still sux though. I have a gut feelin they will go after Moby next. Stardock I think would fight. I still cant think how Stardock would win if Mr.Y couldnt. It sux if it just comes down to money. Everything does. >.<

Lets do a protest. We can all meet at Apple headquarters and march against their unfair treatment of Mr. Y, Jef, and others.

"No blood for Aqua" , and the more effective "YOU SUCK".

Im serious. Wheres Apples headquarters at?

From what I have read Apple wasn't really for docklings on the OSX dock. So it probably wasn't because of docklets.

Anyway I think it's sad that they have made him stop. I was looking forward to added core features but it looks like it'll never happen now.

There are\where still quite a few things it needed to be exactly like the OSX dock though which are:

a. My task idea
b. skin a dock features
c. minimize area
d. OpenGL perhaps
e. Genie effect =Þ

But (and I'm probably dreaming saying this), what if they hired him to polish up Y'z dock and bundle it as an extra with a sort of iLife for windows along with iTunes and whatever else they might put in that suite.

Another idea that might be a good idea is a Y'z Dragthing or something. He could get permission from the Dragthing people and they could even offer it on their site as the windows version.

I have just switched to y's dock after being a very loyal OD user.

The docklets are magic, I had no idea.

This dock is magic I love it, too bad it is a little slower than od on my low end system,

Still though a great little app by a legend.

Yay, a convert!

I dunno for how long,.. system is grinding. Windows are rolling down when maximised,... the whole thing feels sluggish,... (options make no difference),.. any tips?

EDIT:// Converted back,.. it was just too much for my p3 500 laptop.

Damn this notebook damn it to hell,... howma gonna live without that juicy green power docklet,.. it has been reverted back to an icon for a link to my power options,.. damn it damn it to hell!,..

Is there any chance of using docklets with od95?

that green juice was curtlin

[FliedLice]

OpenGL support would be VERY nice, a hardware acceleration would speed things up a bit, but its sad to see that Apple cut Mr. Y short . Perhaps another Rogue programmer will pick up where he may have left off until Apple decides to shut it all down, hehe.

I couldn't stay away from y's,..

What I did was keep running the 10x benchmark while incrementally making the dock+magnification smaller.

I started at 58-128 size which gave my low end system 22fps,... and then
stopped making the dock smaller when the fps went to over 40.

To break 40 fps, I had to have a dock size of 48-110, which I find quite usable,.. and no more slow downs! And ofcourse we get the curtlin juice.

what graphics card r u using? i was getting awefull (sp) results until i updated my my 9700 pro w/ the new catalyst drivers, now im getting over 100 fps!

Brandon started a thread about it on aquaxp.com:
don't you think apple 'stole' wharf from windowmaker? that's older than osxdock..

You'll find Apple HQ at:

1, Infinite Loop
Cupertino
California
USA

A frankly cool address. I'd love to live on a street called "Infinite Loop".

M.Y Copied Apple And Apple Copied Microsoft So When Microsoft Finds Out I Hope They Will Not Put Switching Users In Their Next Version Of Mac. Whoever says yes about this pm me.

[DHSMaroon13]

APPLE COPIED??????!!!!!! WTF r u talking about ::cough::GUI::cough::

[contrasutra]

This who copied who thing is stupid.

The difference is that Mr. Y was attempting to clone an apple product.


And if you want to talk Fast User switching, Unix has had it for 30 years.

[DHSMaroon13]

yeah, everyone copies everyone, it's why all of the os's are good, they know the others are going to copy in their next version, so they have to try harder to add more unique features to stay ahead, or get an edge, plus copy the other ppls, it's actually a GOOD thing! Apple doesn't understand that...
