How do you anger an Angry Bird? For Rovio, developers of the popular mobile game of the same name (Angry Birds), you merely have to suggest that the company somehow endorses your product or service without ever having contacted the company to gain such permission.
The story goes like this: Microsoft posted an icon to its new Windows Phone 7 site that seemed to give the impression that Rovio's flagship game was being supported on the company's to-be-released mobile OS. Rovio took note of its apparent endorsement and posted an immediately reply on its official Twitter page:
"We have NOT committed to doing a Windows Phone 7 version. Microsoft put the Angry Birds icon on their site without our permission," the company wrote.
