Posted November 25, 2013 Apple confirms that they will buyout PrimeSense, the company that made the KINECT will come soon. ATD's sources claim that PrimeSense sold for about $360 million. This means that motion control will be a big part of Apple, if they are so desperate to buyout PrimeSense. I really hate this because you see how dumb the KINECT takes orders from their owners, I hope if they want motion controls have a option to turn it off on every program. At last, the will-it-won't-it drama surrounding Apple's rumored acquisition of PrimeSense is over. The iPhone maker has confirmed the deal with AllThingsD, issuing its familiar statement that it buys smaller companies "from time to time." The company isn't discussing its plans or the terms of the deal, but ATD's sources claim that PrimeSense sold for about $360 million, or more than the $345 million that Calcalist reported a week ago. source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/24/apple-confirms-primesense-buyout/ # -_- [Planned RIg AKA Project ARES] -_-# | AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core | Be Quiet DARK ROCK 2 57.9 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing | Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z |G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB | Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM |Samsung 840 Series 250GB 2.5" SSD | Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 3GB |Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower|Gelid Solutions Silent 14 PWM 74.5 CFM 140mm x3 |Corsair RM Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS Gold-Certified Power Supply| |Rosewill RNX-N250PCe | Windows 8 | Acer H236HLbid 23.0" |Corsair Vengeance K70 | Corsair Vengeance M65 Wired Laser | STEELSERIES QCK Black|Sennheiser HD 558| Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples "innovative wisdom" is to build something that already exists then sue anyone who does it better/cheaper. The reality is that apple is a marketing company and a damn good one, they have convinced so many people that their products are original and that they invented half of it without actually saying they did. I will very interested to see what they do with this new acquisition. Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.

Posted November 25, 2013 dont know what to say buddy, but we're both saying things and we're both disagreeing. i think different to your opinion and so lets just leave it at that sorry, the problem was this sentence, because I didn't mean for it to sound this way: ive never heard them, read about them or seen them proclaim that they invented everything inside your house. so you're wrong there, I get what you mean though. It's things like the jobs biography were the author claims Jobs said that android was a stolen product and he would ensure justice was done This is an insinuation that apple invented it otherwise why would he need to "destroy android". That's what I mean by insinuating they invented without actually saying it, because as far as I know there was no press release and jobs did not say it on record, it was only his biography that made the assertion.

Posted November 25, 2013 Probably not going for TV, just for their mobile devices and mac with motion sensor bollocks. And you're not gonna be wrong about apple being expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 25, 2013 I promise you now, there were, are, and will be no lawsuits against anyone not infringing Apple's patents. And to get some facts straight, having patents in your arsenal means that at some point you must have innovated stuff, or pushed innovation by buying innovative companies. Anyone could have bought this company and it's patents, but it seems that Apple's competition thinks that they better license it from Apple instead of buying PrimeSense. And btw, Apple takes the risk of wasting quite an amount of money, should this not work. THIS SIGNATURE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
