This post by Juli Clover for MacRumors.com tells us, “Pop artist Romero Britto last week filed a lawsuit against Apple over its “Start Something New” campaign, for using Craig & Karl artwork that allegedly mimics the design style that Britto is famous for.”

He must have been absent the day the teacher covered that thought from Bernard of Chartres (circa 1130), which asserts, “We are like dwarfs standing upon the shoulders of giants, and so able to see more and see farther than the ancients.” You decide.
