Borrowing ideas is only a big deal if you're ripping on those you borrow from. Like if someone from Apple were to say "MS just can't do design right, Metro is terrible start to finish" and then they borrow from Metro, that's newsworthy.
Following current design trends and adding a splash of your own flavor to them... that's status quo, isn't it?
- runjake 13y agoYou're missing the whole point of my comment. Yes, that's the status quo. But Apple's (and their pundits') history of snarky comments against this is why people are dishing this criticism. "Some of their own medicine" as it were.
