"Piles" in Panther

what. the. fuck?
this dude is on crack or what?
windows = geeks only?
windows = neither user friendly nor geeky!
slackware / debian = geeks only!
oh and in response to the mac OS gui is so cool statements i keep hearing - yes it is quite good. except for this fucking rotating rainbow THING! how the hell do i disable the stupid loady thing? as irritating as the frigging hourglass...
another one on that site-

Some wintel user shud b shot 4 ther loyalty 2 an inferior platform & ther inability 2 recognise the power & style of both Apple harware and software and this review is just of their nut etc etc etc blah blah blah

sigh... "inferior platform" "should be shot" "inability to recognize..." "these nuts"
it seems X11 has a mac using twin who posts on these forums. this is why these forums are good... neither the linux users nor the mac users can insult the other without being pulled up over it...

Piles look cool!
And as for the "for geeks" stuff.. I seriously think the Mac is benifiting from all the UNIX "geeks" that have switched over, or at least purchased a Macintosh. I keep hearing how all the Mac users grupes and expos. are becomeing more and more saturated with Linux/*NIX types as well as artists.
Im sure other OS's will do piles, but I doubt apple will sue. They also own patents on icons, garbage cans, and folders. The days were viable lawsuits about these things are way WAY over.
That is....
Except for the dumb anti-OSX theming kick apple has been on. I mean, makeing such a big deal about their "intelectual property" being copyed (albiet quiteshoddily) makes it seem that the only thing great about their OS is the way it looks. Silly move, they should leave the themers alone, because they will allways be third rate compared to the origional article.
Calum:
i agree, if apple could just take the carrot out of their arse, we could all get down to having a good GUI. nice idea those piles, pity about the name.
Faust:
yeah it is a good idea.
"piles" is probably like the gui : it will be copied but everyone else will be playing "catch up" to the apple boys, and thats probably good - it won't take long for people to see other OS's trying to copy apple and work out where the good stuff comes out first. 8-)
edit : its a pity piles the real sickness / health issue isnt contagious or I could make "MS and all other OS's will catch piles off Apple" jokes...

Hey, if Apple patents it then what's wrong with them only being able to use it? Maybe they don't want anyone like Microsoft copying them for a change? Besides, folks will find ways around them (probably going to call them stacks and have them be slightly different).
