Chrome’s Web Store will only thrive if a lot of people are actually buying apps and games on it, and Google is giving people what they’re familiar with." http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/17/google-apple-app-store/ Google’s ‘App Store For The Web’ Is A Mirror Image Of Apple’s App Store

Do you suppose they took some liberties? It looks like CNN’s new web design is similar to http://mydictionary.myresources.com.

I couldn't believe how similar the MyDictionary.com website was to my old friend, Dictionary.com. They were so similar, I could have sworn they were by the same people. In fact, it was a Google search about the two sites that landed me here. Anyway, I still continue to use Dictionary.com. Its words of the day are far more interesting, plus it includes IPA pronunciation guides. MyDictionary.com may have completely ripped off the design, but at least their content has a way to go before it could ever rival the original.
