what the ****, Apple? What message are you sending developers?
If you develop a truly nice/revolutionary app for Mac OS X, we copy it w/o crediting you in any way in our next OS X release.
And for the ones who are not convinced it's a rip off:

from a guy in the Konfab forums Now it seems Apple has done it again with copying Konfabulator! Steve Jobs during his WWDC keynote talked about how Microsoft would be copying Tiger, and then showed off how they copied Konfabulator and called it Dashboard. How hypocritical is that?? At least when Microsoft sees a good idea, they go out and buy the company. I think that is much more respectable than the way Apple does business. They have $4billion dollars in cash, you'd think they could throw a reasonable amount of money to support a devoted Mac developer. But instead they just rip off the idea and make it their own. |
