Whoa, an AC confirmed your conspiracy theory, call the press!
I couldn't give a rats ass who made feature X first, "stealing" features dates back to stone age.
However, Apple directly hurts my interests as the consumer - by blocking competing products, which
is why they don't deserve my money(even though their hardware is nice).
You've just described about 90% of computer users right here
Stop making up numbers, it's nowhere near 9 out of 10.
