>Software is all zeroes and ones, after all. The quantity and order may vary, but that’s about it. Hardware is just protons, neutrons, electrons and photons buzzing around, nothing original. Apple didn’t “invent” anything, the iPad is simply their variation, their interpretation of the well-known tablet recipe. You can make cookies and cakes from the same raw ingredients, doesn't mean that the person who invented cookies also invented cake. Also the 'Software is all zeroes and ones' argument irks me. It's the bridge between an expensive paperweight and a practical device.
