Apple at its annual World Wide Developers Conference has lashed out against Microsoft for copying features of Mac OS X 10.4 in the forthcoming Windows Vista operating system.

"Our friends up north spend $5 billion a year on research and development," Apple chief executive Steve Jobs said in reference to Microsoft.

"And yet these days all they seem to be able to do is try and copy Google and Apple. So I guess it's a good example of how money isn't everything."

Oh shut up Steve. It's fine when Apple does it right?

I sort of understand that kind of talk coming from Apple fanboys, but from Steve Jobs . . . well he's no stranger to BS so I get it fits.
