Panther Switcher Stolen!I've been using Proteron's liteswitchx since I got my mac to replicate the Alt-Tab functionality on windows...and it has been sensational!!!!!
Now with the release of Panther, Apple has copied/stolen/leveraged the exact product designed and created by Proteron....shame Apple shame.
Proteron has written an open letter to apple asking for an explanation...and fair enough.
As much as I adore/love Apple I cannot understand why say 300k - 500k paid to Proteron in recognition would be too much.

About
neuronwave is the personal site of Ben Hosken. I am the founder of Flink Labs, a data visualisation studio based in Melbourne. Previously I founded AgentArts, where I developed a recommendations system that we ultimately sold to MSFT.I have two patents, one in Recommendation Systems and one for a datamining algorithm I invented. I have a strong interest in physical computing, emergence, self organising systems, immersive games, bluetooth ad hoc networks and other fun things.
A while ago I built and ran Blog Change Bot - an AOL IM Bot which notified you when blogs you like are updated. I also built IcyPole, a bluetooth based P2P mobile phone app in 2004. With Suzette, I've built Playground Finder - a community contributed site for parents to find playgrounds nearby and while traveling for their kids to play in. Its a "playground" for my social, location, community and mobile interests.
I live in Melbourne with my wife Suzette, son Oskar Tex and my little girl Jasmine
