<i>Really, find an Apple keynote ever where this wasn&#x27;t said.</i><p>The problem of this line of reasoning is that it can be used to bin any criticism levelled at Apple. Some criticism has merit other criticism does not. Judge criticism by that. (E.g., many of the criticisms of  Ping or the 5c were pretty much on the mark.)<p>To be honest, I recognize some of the criticism of the article. On the other hand, <i>Good artists copy; great artists steal.</i> In the end it is all about execution. It is interesting to see who did it before (if not for computer archeology), but if they did it better, it will fly.
