................................. To leave Commie, hyper to http://commie.oy.com/commie_leaving.html ................................. http://www.asktog.com/columns/044top10docksucks.html An excerpt (after the 10 reasons): "Conclusion: Confusing a demo design with a prototype for a working project is the kind of mistake amateurs make all the time--show a hot demo to the sales force and they want to know when it is going to ship. Usually, the people actually engaged in the project well understand the difference. Apple seems to have lost all ability to tell real from imaginary. We saw this phenomenon with the round mouse, a "cool" design that was completely impractical. It took two years of the trade press calling them idiots before they finally pulled the mouse from the market. That protest was nothing compared to what the Dock has generated, and still they are hanging on. The good news is that OS X is completely "hackable." We can expect that competently designed and engineered solutions to Apple's latest embarrassments will soon appear." ---> Jarmo Lundgren Multimediatsaari Helsingin Sanomat, Verkkoliite p. 09-1227555 / 040-5345868
