    I'm grateful for posts such as GP made. I'm very much aware, due to poor color vision, that not all people see the world the same way. So, I saw the title of this article, and immediately I thought: "What's this going to look like to some poor, unfortunate Phanboi?"

    jmcbain stepped forward, and satisfied my curiosity quite promptly. "Oooooh, looky, Google is copying Apple!" Poor sod - there's probably no cure for his disease.
