As long as I can remember the line in Apple's dock which separates 
applications from documents disagrees with the expected perspective 
rules; that all lines that are parallel should lead to a common 
vanishing point. If one draws a line whicch parallels each of the two 
edges of the dock the lines will intersect somewhere above the dock. If 
one were to then draw a line from the separator line in the dock that 
line should also go to the same intersection. However as the count of 
the icons to each side of the separator line increasingly differe in 
count the aforementioned line misses the intersecion by an increasing 
amount. Because of this anomaly I have for a long time been using 
Docker to display the dock in a non perspective manner so to avoid this 
disturbing (at least to me) appearance. However, at least as of now 
Docker is not available for Mavericks. I will be having a visit to the 
Genius Bar tomorrow and will see what kind of reaction I get. I'll post 
what happens.
