Untitled[edit]

Um... the whole article has been written in the past tense. Aren't they still called AppleEvents? And isn't the AEDesc still the underlying data structure for messages sent from OSA languages? I'm not an expert at how these things are implemented, but these terms are certainly still used within the AppleScript community. func (talk) 04:51, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Yup, no idea why that was the case. Anyways, I have changed it to present tense. RedWolf 03:44, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

Also, ("he said 8 months later"), shouldn't we make the article name singlular, via standing wikipedia procedure, as in AppleEvent? func (talk) 17:11, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The point being, (he said 4 days later), that an article may need to refer to a singluar Apple Event, in which case we have to do this: "...the [[Apple Events|Apple Event]] is...." It is preferable (and standard proceedure) to make all article names singluar, with plural done thusly: "...the [[Apple Event]]s are...." func (talk) 16:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

While the singular form makes sense, the term "Apple Events" is almost always used in plural form. One rarely finds a singular use when dealing with them. --Dcclark 05:27, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the page be named (and consistently use the capitalization) "Apple Events", rather than "Apple events", to respect Apple's usage? --RichMorin (talk) 01:12, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to D-BUS?[edit]

It would be nice if there could be some clarification of the relationship/differences between D-BUS and Apple Events, since they are apparently both supported on Mac. Jdpipe (talk) 01:22, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no relationship. dbus is from the *nix world and Apple events are a Mac thing. The two don't interact in any way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OMPIRE (talk • contribs) 20:27, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
