Obviously a display is capable of really only showing some shade of the three colors red, green and blue. It's only through an optical effect that they appear as these other "millions" of colors. This whole series of lawsuits is silly.

I just hope they can finally figure out how to not have the dock pop up into view after a few minutes of QuickTime player being put into fullscreen mode. This is extremely annoying.

The whole point of the patent system is to provide an inventor with a government enforced monopoly for a brief period as incentive to reveal to the public the working of that invention so that it can help advance further technological and scientific…

Why is a publicly funded state university getting patents on faculty/student research?

And they still can't manage to fix whatever is causing the dock to pop up after a few minutes of going into fullscreen mode.

Nice, they even have a click wheel.

In 10.5.1 on my Alu iMac, the dock reappears after a minute or two when watching a movie in fullscreen mode in QuickTime player. I hope this has been fixed.

This is what happens when you have a design team, and CEO, obsessed with making it "even thinner." As it is, I run my Alu iMac with the fans cranked up to 1500 rpms or so permanently, and when playing WoW, I turn off all the shader effects and limi…

Maybe they'll take some of that profit and fix whatever is wrong with my Alu iMac. \

I just want my new Aluminum iMac to stop randomly freezing on me.

Happens for me too on new 2.0 ghz iMac. WoW will freeze on occasion, but music keep s playing and mouse cursor still moves, but still have to do a reset nontheless. Turning down the shader effects seems to have solved that issue. Visual glitches …
