COOL APPLE NOT SO COOL... STEALING IDEAS?

Konfabulator vs. Dashboard:

"It doesn't make any sense to me," Arlo Rose, the developer of Konfabulator, told MacCentral. "Why would a company piss off a developer whose whole purpose is to try to get more people to come to this company's platform by doing cool things? If this is what they do with the products they think are the best, then why would anyone have any reason to develop more cool stuff? I certainly don't."

Jupiter Research senior analyst, Joe Wilcox, points out that the integration of technologies into an operating system is nothing new for Apple or Microsoft. Wilcox cites media players, instant messengers and photo management features, which are all part of Windows and Mac OS X -- their predecessors were either shareware or commercial products, Wilcox said.
