Do all Mac users think Apple invented everything? If so I can provide a list of about 100 things(NEEDS CITATION) you use every 'minute' of the day that are Microsoft GUI design technologies that are throughout the OS X interface.
Apple is the ultimate copy machine company(NEEDS CITATION), from the original Lisa/Mac GUI(NEEDS CITATION) to even their 'multi-touch' that is copied directly from a TED conference several years ago - which is why the TED people to this day are shocked at the audacity that Apple would try to patent the multi-touch gesturing(NEEDS CITATION), as it was demoed to the IT world years before Apple used it(YOUTUBE.COM - TED). Apple even copied the 'made up' gestures that the presenter at TED literally made up before the conference as 'examples' of how to use multi-touch(YOUTUBE.COM - TED), expecting people to further the concepts and were shocked Apple even kept the made up gesture ideas in the iPhone interface(NEEDS CITATION).
Then if you ever want to talk OS architecture or anything 'technical' the OS X people will yell OS X = BSD = Great, and have no freaking clue what BSD is(NEEDS CITATION), how OS X uses a BSD kernel API concept(NEEDS CITATION) and how OS X is NOT BSD. That is when you run and don't even try to talk kernel features concepts as they are just filled with Marketing slogans form the Apple bumpersticker marketing and have NO FReAKING CLUE...
I am really tired of the 'Snow Jobs' mentality of OS X being the greatest, the first, the blah blah, when NONE of it is true(NEEDS CITATION), so knock it off you insane fanatics...

While you make some good arguments, I have flagged where you need citations to support the claims you make. Also, you use extreme words like EVERY, ALL, THE ULTIMATE. Granted they have appropriated things, but all artists do and there is no way not to. We are a victim of our experience and perception and the subconcious is an amazingly powerful tool. Many of apples current features are appropriations. E.G. Coverflow. Apple will buy out the company and use their technology. They pass it on the to consumer at no extra charge. itunes = free music management. Also, whether or not they included coverflow into leopard would not have affected the price. also, think about Dashboard widgets.

I also re-worked the content
"as it pumps a hefty load of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere -- but for a place that's short of fuel and high on trash"
into a joke on how the middle east is short on oil/fuel and it is worth the CO2 it produces.
