FLASH: Adobe Sues Macromedia [OT]

[Jefferis Peterson]

I really don't get it. I wrote Adobe with my ire. 


Adobe uses icons provided by Apple to create its UI.  Adobe didn't invent

pencils, brushes, magnifying glasses, etc.. They were all part of the

MacPaint  Macintosh introduction.  Macpaint had  a palette for user

tools!  And it was all built into the OS with toolbox calls. 


Prior use seems to invalidate the claim.  What is Adobe saying? We put

two tabbed palettes on the same palette?  Big deal. That is not

invention, that is evolution.
