Mirco "MacSlow" Mueller Developed LoFat = Apple Photo Album & Bounce Feature!
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, September 03 2012 @ 07:28 PM EDT
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.<br><br>


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!<br><br>

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!!!<br><br>

I hope if Apple did the most despicable of things like steal
"String Physics Code" and use it without giving back to the
community, along with now SUING the very same Community they
got it from, they deserve to be horse whipped and flogged for
the whole World to see what thieves they are!

Mirco "MacSlow" Mueller Still Active in Open Source - Dropped MacSlow Now is All = Prior Art!
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, September 04 2012 @ 07:57 PM EDT
So I was wondering what happened to MacSlow because,
everything has been removed. Turns out he's just dropped the
Alias and NOT sold out to Apple. But where's LowFat now?

Anyway he's still active with Ubuntu and CairoDock running
Gstreamer and String Physics. It'st string physics that makes
bounce possible. So what is Apple using? They don't have
anything that compares to string physics other than features
that use OpenGL family of API's.

If you don't already run Cairo Dock then you should download
Latest Live Mint iso, burn it to a disc and run it. Then get
the Cairo Dock app and install it. Just remember when you
reboot it (after playing with it) all will be gone unless you
install it on a drive (can be install hard drive, SD card or
external drive.

He's a real kick in the pants and is on G+ if you're a
member. Then you can ask him what happened to LowFat
yourself! ;-)
