Speaking of Heavy Handedness!

Stitch, here is another example: Apple didn't like one developer's "bubbles" in a chat application, saying it was too much like their own. Can a company patent something like that? Maybe Apple should be happy that their iPhone has an App that is almost the same as their refined "look and feel">

Bubbles!

That is a bit much. You would think that since the main premise of the Chess app is not IM'ing. That the similarity with iChat is trivial. Apple always wants the Mac/iPhone interface to be familiar so using the same "bubbles" seems logical.

Someone went too far at Apple with this one.
