- TazeTSchnitzel 11y ago> Except apple has gone their own way of making everything proprietary. USB? FireWire? Mini DisplayPort? Thunderbolt? FaceTime (before they were sued)? WebKit? Darwin?
- scott_karana 11y agoActually, Apple's onerous/expensive licensing requirements on Firewire are probably what allowed USB to beat it. "Thunderbolt"/Displayport: yes, after decades of making laptops with proprietary adapters, they finally conceded that point. Intel deserves some thanks here too, I think. Facetime: what lawsuit are you talking about? It's still only interoperable with Apple's software on Apple's platforms. Proprietary. Webkit, Darwin, and LLVM: these are all good things. Note that all of them have non-Apple (and also non-NeXT) origins.
