At first glance, it seems like another typical Mac tempest in a teacup -- a helpless indie developer being ridden roughshod by the big bad monolithic control freak Apple. Like Macworld media blacklisting and the Proteron LiteSwitch and Konfabulator incidents before it, it's a cause celebre that unifies the Mac Web but makes them look petty and childish once the sobering light of scrutiny is shone upon it.
