"John Kheit at Mac Observer reports on US Patent Application No.
20040090467, published on May 13, 2004, in which Apple filed a patent
application for 'Graduated visual and manipulative translucency for
windows.'" Begin the hunt for prior art! It's a challenge to find a non-
Apple translucent window that isn't just a snippet of desktop wallpaper
pasted in the background.

I was wondering how long Open Source's "friendship" with Apple could
possibly last. 

Maybe now those guys at X.org can get on with solving some real
problems. :)
