The quote is: "Good artists copy, Great artists steal".
Google is copying apple. They arent stealing..

Google makes good products..
Apple makes great products..

I think people seem to miss the point (IMHO) about this quote. When you steal something, you make it your own...from then on it then serves your purposes. Google and Microsoft just seem to stick various copied ideas together as opposed to create a holistic system.
