[WHEN - some key points JR Raphael makes in his article ]

  1. ] this is not about, my os is better then your os, choose whatever os works for you ....
  2. ] "Tech companies copy each other all the time and when one platform has a good idea, it's bound to show up on others before long. This'll be an enormous upgrade for iOS users, and that's something we can all celebrate" .  The competition and back-and-forth one-upmanship can only benefit us all as consumers
  3. ] as long as Apple doesn't start suing everyone for "stealing" the concepts it just "invented," that is.
  4. ] aapl attitude - 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 -- "this is the way it should be done," "that is not what users need" -- until suddenly it isn't.
