I mentioned that most of their innovation was borrowed, bought or stolen in the first place but it still is a fundamental shift in how they work.
7 years ago they would find a good idea someone else had, buy it and market it by saying this is where you want to be tomorrow.
This article shows that they have fallen to the point that they just show up and say "Hey, me too!" Apple has already done what microsoft used to do - take a good idea and convince you that its necessary even though its a new take on a concept not invented by them.
Remember when the mere mention of microsoft interest was enough to scare people from launching? They just don't have the muscle they used to.
But I really was not stating anything any different than what you said, everything they did before was a better marketed (not necessarily better) implimentation of someone elses idea.
