I've noticed that over the past couple of years, Apple has kept "stealing" the functionality of very popular apps from the App Store (starting with iBooks, and then others).




Dropbox? They stole from Dropbox? Becuse iDisk never existed I guess?

"do not disturb" on a phone is only there becaus of some shitty desktop app that changes your Skype status to do not disturb?

Importing Facebook contacts never would have occurred to anyone at apple if not for some gmail plugin?

This article is worse than the one this discussion page is for.


Oh no, Apple's implementing popular features?
