This isn't a patent troll and this isn't Google independently inventing something. This is Google meeting with the company, getting closed door access to their tech and then deciding to copy large parts of their product. We can

Instead of selecting text I'd rather have a dedicated softkey to emojify what I type after. E.g. ⁂poop spits out pile of poo emoji. Tap and hold the button and the emoji menus show up.

I think you've oversold the similarities between Jobs and Gates and undersold the fact that Tim Cook is doing basically the same job at Apple that he did during most of 2004-2011 when a number of hit products were developed and launche
