But that's beside the point. I really really don't understand this "no innovation, blah" attitude. I think people parroting it have the least chance to innovate at anything, they are condemned to mindlessly repeat the same stuff over and over again, and that staff is not true most of the time.
Ant btw, Gruber does criticise Apple sometimes. Those who read what he writes know that.
