[OS X] Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright

[CityK]

Ars has a huge review (which is too long for me to read thoroughly right now so I just skimmed through it) of Apple's latest rendition of OS X. Tiger looks really good.

One quote from the article that made me laugh:

The first time I saw the new Mail toolbar, I filed a bug on it. (Radar 3968093: "Toolbar buttons in Mail 2.0 are hideously ugly.") It was immediately closed as a duplicate, so at least one other person agrees with me.

In other news, Tiger Direct is apparently suing Apple over the use of "Tiger". Frivalous trademark lawsuits . :evil:

Did they ever resolve that suit from Apple Records?

 

[CityK]

I thought they had, but google search seemed to indicate it was ongoing. They don't list it in their financial statements, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been resolved yet.

 

[CityK]

please excuse my double negative.

 

[Howell]

please excuse my double negative.

It is grammatically correct. No appology needed.

 

[CityK]

True, but what I meant to imply was that: absence from the F/S's doesn't necessarily mean the litigation was resolved. My former statement implied somewhat of the opposite.

Perhaps inserting the understood "that" would make more sense to you....

Sorry, I don't follow....grammer related reference?

 

[sechs]

Your second sentence is compound-complex, but the "that" which should introduce the dependent clause has been left out. Especially in spoken English, the "that" or "which" is understood, but can be confusing in written writing.

Does, "They don't list it in their financial statements, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't been resolved yet," make more sense?[/i]

 

[CityK]

Yes, thanks.

Dang! And I done take great pains to right mighty propper!

I did ESL work for a year and half, and I still can't speak the language.


I was a teacher, by the way....

"English second Language"

Funny, that's true at my high school...

Calculus is the first language.

Sechs:

I assume by your ambiguous reference, you don't speak Spainish yet?
:wink:

Actually, back in high school, I was fluent in Spanish. Couldn't understand Mexicans back then, either....
