DailyTech - Apple Accused of Ripping Off Developer's Rejected Wi-Fi Sync App

We'll see how that one plays out in court (if it even makes it there), it's a rather general concept and wasn't ideal for a third party app. Also, if you hadn't heard, Apple actually called the developer that made the wi-fi sync app and told him that they'd be interested in offering him a job.

The difference is, from what I understand, the Mac program still required users to read a dialog box and click accept, every time, in order for it to allow the use of their webcam. No security protection in the world can save people from themselves - the users are the weakest link.
