Itz all over the place IP,DevArt/Neowin and whatnot.I'm hoping it's some kind of bad joke.It is simply unbelievable how greed is so incredibly rampant.It is saddening.

Very important
I stopped development and distribution of Y'z Dock.
Notice to Y'z Dock user.
1. Please stop use of Y'z Dock at once.
2. Please do not re-distribute Y'z Dock.

There has to be something questionable about the code, or something they worked out. I say this because there is no way they can make any claims to Docking and Bar Menus, zoomers and such that I can think of.

Jeepers IP,,I hope yer right. You would certainly know much more about that side of it than me.I am totally hooked on my OD and look forward to further advancements,,without these murky issues of money and copyrights.

I will keep my copy of ObjectDock and keep using it even if Stardock is forced to stop production and ask users to stop using.

Not really brazil, I am just guessing on it.
But I do find it hard to believe that Apple can/could or would push very hard unless there is something key missing. You notice there is not any mention of why it was pulled or what transpired, on the developers site? Seems to indicate there is more to it than just the Docking concept.

I will keep it to myself so the only way Apple will know I have it is if they hack into my system. I will counter-sue them for hacking if they sue me for having it.

Far as I am concerned, unless specifically asked to dink ODock by Stardock, for whatever reason, Apple can go go get pissed and wiz up a rope.

Well TC,,Seeing that MS and Apple share the same bed,,,on occasion,Look for a "Critical Update" from Windows Update to make OD,Moby and renegade YZ user's go willy nilly.

I hope Microsoft does not start getting upset about SDCentral being similar to the Windows Update site. This reminds of of when McAffee decided over so many years to file a complaint that Windows Update ripped of McAffee's VirusScan update technology.

They are indeed TC,and always have been.Truthfully they are one in the same.The bickering and legal maneuvers are simply a show put on for us,,the people.While they line their pockets with money made by other people writing code and giving it away.ObjectDock is free.It is given away to free people by free people.

What bugs me about this most aside from apples 'politics' is that some people are bringing up weird conspiracy theories again undertoning that stardock wants to bash a competitor. Oh my...

For what it is worth, Stardock would inform people of exactly what is taking place. Honesty is one of the best things about SD and WinC in my opinion. As far as implying Stardock wants to bask anyone, not my job or my shtick for that matter
