"I [thought] "that is the end" when iPhoto was introduced. But the sales seemed unaffected. Now iPhoto gave me a lot of ideas for improvements of my PhotoGrid. Some people buy PhotoGrid after finding the difference (better feature) from iPhoto." Tad Nagano of PhotoWorks told Spymac. "It is acceptable when the software from Apple and so on has not stolen other developer's unique idea though it is not patented. I once had a product to change screen resolution that keeps icon positions according to the relative positions. Now the Finder has the feature. Yes, I know I went too far. I have to ask our government to make patent procedure easy and cheap." Story (Submitted by Noel Wed Sep 29, 2004 ) |
