@stilkov want to bet? I estimate at maximum a minor fee, less then 100 millions. Winners get a beer?

@stilkov +1. And I don't think they invented the design. They were the first once using it commercially successful. But let's wait and see.

@vogella Here's where I strongly disagree.

@stilkov over beer it would be great to learn why Apple users identify so strongly. Interesting trick, I would like to understand.

@vogella I don't identify, but am continuously puzzled some people are convinced the reason for Apple's success is their users' cluelessness

@stilkov I don't think that, is much more: Design, Focus and Status. But IMHO you qualify as Apple fan boy. I qualify as Google fan boy.

@vogella And I object to being called a fanboy (except when joking); Apple does many evil things I strongly dislike
