Indeed, they live in a world where the 2nd place phone os blatently rips off or buys other peoples ideas, package them nicely and then proclaim what original geniuses they are.
If the android is such a rip off of ios then why, especially after Jobs promised to squander his companies wealth to get revenge on google, have there been no significant legal actions against the ios - all of the actions are against hardware manufacturers.
The obvious answer is android is not a rip off of ios, and if apple actually had any legal ground to stand in on the issue they would be hammering them in court.
Also amusing is that ios5 has plenty of features they copied from Android. Of course, when Apple does something that someone else has been doing for a while - it is innovation. Why just look at that blackberry messenger that Google just invented, and the notifications and widgets they totally innovated out of thin air.
Incidentally, I'm getting a leaked galaxy Nexus phone from my google buddies next week.
