[NTLK] Interesting tributes

[Lord Groundhog]

I have posted this to the MUG I¹m in as well, but as I thought about it I
realized it belonged here too.

The more I look at the Mak artwork (and I know the copyright is bound to be
contested over this in weeks to come) the more I like it.  If I were an exec
at Apple I¹d be looking to pay a fat royalty for the right to use it for
some kind of tribute product line between now and Christmas.

As for the Android app, it says a lot to me that an Android developer
somewhere has tipped his hat across the e-chasm like that.  Google and Apple
can carry on feuding, but the rest of us are just people, and we can
acknowledge other people without worrying about ³sides².
