<h2>[WHEN - some key points JR Raphael makes in his article&nbsp;]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>] this is not about</strong>, my os is better then your os, choose whatever os works for you ....</li>
<li>] "Tech <strong>companies copy each other all the time</strong> and when one platform has a good idea, it's bound to show up on others before long. <strong>This'll be an <em>enormous</em> upgrade for iOS users,</strong> and that's something we can all celebrate" .&nbsp; The competition and back-and-forth one-upmanship can only benefit us all as consumers</li>
<li>] as long as Apple doesn't <a href="http://www.esarcasm.com/24294/apple-sues-google-for-stealing-stuff-it-just-invented/" target="_blank">start suing everyone for "stealing" the concepts it just "invented,"</a> that is.</li>
<li><strong>] aapl attitude</strong> - To be fair, this situation is a little amusing because of Apple's trademark "We innovate everything" and "We know what's best" attitude. That attitude's always pounded home in the form of definitive and absolute truths -- "<em>this&nbsp;</em>is the way it should be done," "<em>that&nbsp;</em>is not what users need" -- until suddenly it isn't.</li>
