Although you can't find his "LowFat" App, built using "String Physics Effects", he's still coding somewhere and "FLIPPING" over what Apple paid him, most likely. Although most of his web links are DEAD (Apple of course) this member page and the one in Ubuntu can't be taken down by them. He was a hacker or leading Code Warrior in the Open Source Community.

Apparently he wants to now keep LowFat all secret now. But he's the man Google and Samsung need to get to solve many of their Patent Problems. Because if it wasn't for the Compiz Open Source Community and it's Open Source Code Base and it's String Physics Effects (code), neither he and Apple would have several of those patents in the first place!

I smell a iRAT in the Source of these features within iOS. If Mirco Mueller sold out on the Open Source Community, wouldn't it be possible to dig out those portions in iOS features? Even if they stole only portions of the code, wouldn't it be possible to invalidate these patents, if this is all prior art? I don't care that he made his own LowFat App, and sold it to Apple, but he had to use Open Source Libraries to do with. So Apple could be in big trouble if they did indeed steal any source code from the community to use in iOS!!!

I hope if Apple did the most despicable of things, like steal "String Physics Code" and Linux Open Source Libraries inside iOS without giving back to the community, along with now SUING the very same Community they got it from, then they deserve to be horse whipped and flogged in public for the whole World to see what thieves they are! ....it would seem that SAMSUNG Attorneys (Google too) would have to request not just source code, but the libraries used to make these features in iOS too. If they copied any part of the libraries, they'd be caught dead to rights!
