A lesson in innovation from Apple's first interface trial | |

For longtime watchers and users in the Mac market, last week's verdict feels like a bit of payback. Yes, this time it's Apple against Samsung, but it's really a win against the rival OS vendor Google. Back in the early days of the Mac OS, it was Microsoft, and Mac fans are still a bit rankled by how that fight went down 25 or so years ago. Yet, the history offers a bit of hope that there's more than one way to paint a GUI. It's hard to imagine now, but there was a time when the only GUI computer on the market was the Macintosh (okay, and maybe the Lisa, later known as the Mac XL). Programs associated today with the Microsoft Windows platform such as Word and Excel started out on the Mac platform. | ||

Another misinformed Apple leaning article.
MS Word was available for MS-DOS in 1983 and was available for MAC in 1984. Do these guys research anything? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ms_word |

| Maybe Morgenstern thinks Apple invented Metro because one of their restroom floors has colored tiles on it. |

| Apple has become far worse than Microsoft ever was. |

| I'd hate to fathom the thought if Apple produced the first car. Any other manfacturer would be forced into having a different shape for the steering wheel, headlights in different places, boot in a different place. Different handles to open doors. Wheels that weren't round. Can't copy and ripoff others hey. PFFT. IOS is getting dated. Let's hope the upcoming competition gets some head up a bad apple. |
