Dude, this is not " ... ( 1 year ago by CerebralGump)
Dude, this is not "stolen from Apple", this is from Sun Network San Francisco 2003. If you want to assert that Sun "stole" this from Apple, you'll have to provide support for that.

Looking Glass is still being developed yes.
I was looking at ... ( 1 year ago by kigawman)
I was looking at the CD changing 3D visuals and I wanted to ask You, Did Mac OS'X Afterglow copied that style from looking glass long before it's release?
Sorry. I made a ... ( 1 year ago by kigawman)
Sorry. I made a mistake. It's Coverflow. Not Afterglow. I don't use a Mac. However, I'm just curious because Coverflow and the 3D CD changing visual kinda look the same in concept?
Unfortunately, I do ... ( 1 year ago by vinko)
Unfortunately, I do not really want to get into this OS battle, but only to clarify. Microsoft's Windows Vista's "Windows Flip 3D" is an obvious copy of Looking Glass, but then that is not new for Microsoft as they often plagiarize other competitors.
kigawman, to answer ... ( 1 year ago by vinko)
kigawman, to answer you question. Apple's CoverFlow did not copy any of SUN's Looking Glass. That technology was acquired by Apple in 2005 to incorporate in iTunes, and iTunes Store. It is only in 2007 that Apple publicly showed off the CoverFlow technology in the upcoming version of Mac OS X (10.5).

The other ... ( 1 year ago by vinko)
The other commenters are suggesting Apple copied the design for their upcoming version of Mac OS 10.5
does anybody know ... ( 1 year ago by leorockway)
does anybody know when compiz came out? it looks like the people from sun were the inspiration for it (kudos to sun and their free software)
and... you can't do that on a mac. and mac is good but their fanboys suck.
Looking glass and ... ( 1 year ago by LinuxGalore)
Looking glass and the 3D effects have been around since around 2003, Apple wont have a working 3D desktop with effects until OSX 10.5 comes out. Linux thanks to compiz-fusion has had 3D effects for two years now.
Bullshit. Where's ... ( 10 months ago by fidziek)
Bullshit. Where's the Revolution?
I saw these "effects" in games from 1990's.
Maybe I just don't understand...
Ho hum. All of ... ( 10 months ago by kziin)
Ho hum. All of these things that are presented as serious innovation are not. Rather, they are natural and obvious extensions of the current and OLD UI paradigm. Very few of these "innovations" are little more than clever "parlor tricks". None of them actually does much to change or significantly enhance the man to machine interface. A true revolution will come from changing the UI metaphor, not putting a different shade of lipstick on the pig we have.

This looks cool, ... ( 9 months ago by xixaq)
This looks cool, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't solve any problems. Being able to flip a window and write comments on the back of it might be useful, but do you need a 3D environment to do that? No, this is fancy, but nothing more. As screens grow larger, we'll probably have more use for tiling window managers, like Ion. You won't want to maximize your web browser on a 30" screen, for instance, because the lines of text will be way too long.

Looking Glass looking pretty good. Unix system really kick ass. They are the best. I have been using 3D desktop for a while, from beryl to C fusion. They are very useful. I can really work on many thing at once. go back and for just by scrolling the mouse. Plus all the amazing effect. You know... windows is really something out of day. You just can't know how computer development has been by using windows.
