IMPORTANT: A Call To All Citizens, Apprentices, Scribes, Journeymen, and Admins: in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

THERE'S AN EPIDEMIC ON OUR HANDS! Now before you go on thinking what I know you all are thinking, this isn't a rant about ratings or rejections. I'm calling all of you to go on a mission. I've noticed that there are a tremendous amount of skins that are accepted to this site that receive only 1 rating, which is the rating of the Admin, usually the default 6. THIS IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING! Even to me! Now most of my skins have been rated multiple times, so this isn't about me,

Reply to Prediction: Object Dock Library gets better than the wallpaper library in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Now here's the problem with both of those libraries: Wallpapers: Because a decision was made a while back to lower the minimum accepted quality level, more walls were accepted, most of which were essentially unusable. There have been more Vue scenes uploaded than I've ever seen before, thanks mainly in part to the change in moderation. OD: Like A_67 said, many of the icons that are uploaded are just cut-and-paste images with "jaggies", etc. These are unusabl

The cube was a truly innovative product, but it was just lacking in expandibility. That was its problem. Some more innovative products from Apple: Firewire (yes, you can thank them for that) The First 64 Bit Personal Computer The first truly portable laptop iPod Garage Band iSight ITMS GUI in general The Mouse Now before you go off saying that Apple stole from Xerox, the true innovators, I'll say this: Apple was given the rights to use

Freegoo, I think the iMac sold 6 million... so maybe it was the fastest selling computer... or something... most sold in shortest amount of time... Anyways- Michael, Apple doesn't hire marketing firms. They have Jonathan Ive to make they're designs. The iMac was something revolutionary. Yes, there had been all-in-ones, but none that had the mass appeal like the iMac did. This is how Apple can survive with only 3% market share. They innovate. That's the only way th

Jester2k, Apple wants to sell 100 million songs by April, not 1mil. Right now they've got about 50 mil, so 100 is a long shot. But the iPod, which has sold about 2.1 million units, will no doubt continue its sales. Along with the iPod mini, which has 100,000 preorders.

Jeremy, not sure if you know, but Apple not only has the number #1 selling mp3 player, but also made the #1 selling computer of all time. And based on all the ipod rips and imac rips (as well as the drawing away from beige boxes), it seems everyone wants to copy Apple products. And you can thank Apple for the look of your computer... and your speakers. And your cell phone. Because we all know that because of the iMac, everything in the world changed from boring/business/bland to modern/cool/

Apple really has a case here. If the software were free, then it would be one thing, but this company is (was) making money off of Apple's design... and that's wrong. But yes, Apple has a history of takin legal action against companies trying to copy Apple's designs. Anyone remember the iPC? Or emachine's eMac? Those were gone in about... 3 seconds.

UK developer Starbrite Solutions has a $20 software offering called pBop that may remind you more than a little of Apple's iPod. While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, pBop flattered the iPod too much as far as Apple's legal department was concerned. "App

I think the itunes icon that comes with it is good enough... the artists over at apple are probably the best graphics artists around, and they get paid to do stuff like that...just look at OS X, and you'll see why everyone likes to copy it
