Aspiring Novelist
Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference is one of the two major annual events for the company. Steve Jobs will give a two-hour-long speech which will be live-blogged by several websites and there will be some major announcements.
It kicks off at 10:30 p.m. tomorrow night and we’ll be discussing about it on the forums (in the Apple thread) and probably in some chat room. Feel free to join us; it’s a load of fun.

Apple owned 11% of all computing may be but it was the single ruler of PC world initially.
I'd kinda agree Sunny1211993. Bill Gates and team just copy others ideas but at least implement them on their own.
Apple uses others' code and makes a super proprietary product out of it giving back nothing. Of course, the choice of license made by the developers of original product has to be blamed too. Examples, BSD's kernel, DTrace (in leopard). Webkit they did copy but contribute back a bit too.
The only place Apple innovates really well (hats off to them for that) is the UI. Otherwise, they have nothing even close to being called innovation.
Thank God there is GPL for saving Linux otherwise we can definitely see Mac OS XI which would use a proprietary form of the Linux kernel.

@Chandru,Does OS X use BSD's kernel?I don't think so.Are you sure mach kernel is derived from BSD?

OMG!!
It is very much. Mac OS X kernel is a direct BSD derivative. Otherwise do you think aryayush would have spared me for saying that?
But the UI (one place where Apple is good at) was developed by the company started by Steve Jobs after he was fired from Apple. Then when he returned, the UI was merged with BSD kernel derivative and Mac OS X was born.
DTrace was developed by Sun and release as open-source. Apple used it for Leopard, but again locked it in such a way that it cannot be run on DRM enabled Apple products like iTunes.

Yup! It does. Their UI is the best among all OS. In terms of UI alone,
Mac OS X > Gnome > KDE > Windows

Offtopic : Gnome > KDE ?? Im running KDE 4.1 and I think in terms of looks KDE 4 is way ahead of Gnome. however I do agree that the above is subjective. So thats for a different topic .

I'd agree it is subjective too. My rating was based on Simplicity of UI alone and not the power offered to the user. But no flaming please each one's choice is his own. Unlike other platforms, we at least have the choice of desktop environment.
