Apple trying to rip out our core: Macpro boss
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple attempted to register the "Macpro" and
| "Mac Pro" trademarks for computers in May
| 2006, which McRae swiftly opposed as he would
| have had to give up his company's name if
| Apple was successful.
|
| IP Australia, which handles disputes related
| to trademarks and patents in Australia, found
| in McRae's favour but Apple has appealed
| against the decision to the Federal Court.
| The trial is set to run over three days in
| June next year.

Apple Wouldnât Risk Its Cool Over a Gimmick, Would It?
,----[ Quote ]
| Its distinctive feature is a design that
| doesnât simply invite a user to pay
| attention to an ad â it also compels
| attention. The technology can freeze the
| device until the user clicks a button or
| answers a test question to demonstrate that
| he or she has dutifully noticed the
| commercial message. Because this technology
| would be embedded in the innermost core of
| the device, the ads could appear on the
| screen at any time, no matter what one is
| doing.

| wording and tweaking a couple of APIs.
