Apple is the greatest innovator in the tech world; all others copy from them.

So it is no surprise that Apple has a new innovation: Launchpad.

With this revolutionary new feature, you can see all of your apps on your desktop. All you have to do is click an icon in your dock. Just think about that for a second: icons on your desktop that you can click in order the launch a program. Isn't that magic?

So, you Windows users might want to switch for this. Who knows how long it will be before Windows has something to match the elegance and power of Launchpad?

Sounds like something that would crash.

I am having a hard time telling if you are being sarcastic. Isn't this exactly the same concept as a desktop icon? or am I missing something?

sl1982 · « **Reply #7 on:** 2011-03-21 02:37:12 »

It was 100% sarcasm.

Kudi's post was sarcasm, you should really learn that Kudi believes the exact opposite of most everything he says.

Apparently, it bears repeating.

I contend that SquareEnix is as innovative as Apple.

Here is my proof:

ugh... as much as i enjoy macs, launchpad is just a far reach to try and make osx more like an ios device... cept its what a dock is for...

I herd u liek docks? so i put a dock in yer dock so u can launch apps when u launch apps~

Half Zebra, Half Gator, Half Raptor.

A Chocobo, of course. It's just a new breed.

Do you think... Apple are actually trolling us? I mean, actually taking the piss? I do wonder sometimes...

Apple is trolling the entire industry. Hard.

They're also making me lose what little faith I had left in humanity with their amazing ability to extend the reality distortion field around the whole world and thus become the most valuable tech company of Earth.
