Then be a gentleman and point out how I'm wrong....
Well, just to start, no one was advocating a "pay per site internet" silently or otherwise. That the Internet can be only free with targeted ads and tracking or "pay per site" is a false dichotomy that exists only in your mind. Then, you seem entirely clueless, especially in the current context, as to why so many people, more and more every day, despise Google. Hint: It has nothing to do with Google copying the iPhone and everything to do with Google violating their privacy on a regular basis. Lastly, you seem to have completely lost sight of the point in your denial of copying. It doesn't matter whether Apple owns touch screens or not, Google still copied them, Android is still a copy or iOS, and everyone knows it is.

you can not copy the concept of a damn touchscreen OS...period...and if you are suggesting such, then you are suggesting Apple copied the concept of personal computing.
you cannot copy the idea of using icons in said touchscreen OS, to do so you are suggesting Apple copied the idea of using icons on a mobile phone.
you cannot copy using capacitive screens which enable multiple points input, to do so you are erroneously suggesting Apple had any part in inventing that tech.
you cannot copy any of that.
Point by point show me HOW Android is in any way a copy of iOS without using a single argument that can be throw right back at you.
Your company stole the damn notification panel from Android straight up with minor alterations and additions yet that's OKAY...but a company realizing that Apple was on to something and ushered in a new era of mobile computing and thereby following through the door Apple opened is somehow doing something ungodly.
No where in human history has one company opened a door to a new industry and ended up at the finish line alone...why should Apple have been alone in this field they matured and kickstarted? Why do they deserve a place in human history no other company has been allowed before?

The current vitriol has EVERYTHING to do with Google's place as maker of Android and other Apple competing products and little to nothing to do with "privacy" violations.
Hence why there was a gigantic stink made when it was found that Google bypassed Safari settings...yet not a word mentioned when it was pointed out that nearly everyone bypassed those same settings for the same exact reasons, some even going as far as to suggest to devs to do the same thing.
You are using a few relatively inconsequential events to justify your irrational hatred for a company that genuinely provides more services to more people for "free" than Apple does.or likely will. And that's okay...but fess up to it.
Google didn't copy iOS "point by point" they copied it as a whole. Everything Google does is a copy of something.
They copied it as a whole HOW?
Explain what that means...that bullshit may impress your other circle jerk friends but how about you actually tell me something as opposed to some meaningless soundbyte.
Nope, that's why I let other advertisers through and just block Google.
Thereby enforcing my point that this is based upon your gargling Apples and not based on any real concern or reason...thank you. At least you're honest.

No, it's because people are tired of having Google violate their privacy.
Google copying iOS and Google violating privacy (and stealing books, etc, etc.) are separate issues, all worthy of condemnation. But the real, general, growing, public dislike of Google is about privacy violation and not limited to a few "Apple fanboys".
You seem to be in some sort of panic, though, you're getting shriller by the day.

I see you all bathe in this bullshit FUD every damn day. And people aren't getting tired of anything...because nothing is happening...you are purposefully turning molehills into mountains because you hate Google for no other reason than they compete with Apple..you use these relatively inconsequential happenings as a shield for your irrationality.
It's like someone claiming they don't like Apple because of that Foxconn BS... utterly meaningless except as an enforcer of some preexisting bias.

Have you read Google's patent application?
It specifically mentions persistent icons in the status bar indicating the presence of a notification in the drop down pane.
Care to point out where Apple, which by the way is not "my company", has "stole the damn notification panel"?
Apple had drop downs since Lisa, they introduced them almost thirty years ago.

drop down menu isn't drop down notification...and Apple still violates some of the claims in Google's application...but even so, I'm not speaking of violating patents (I honestly don't care that Apple adopted a rather intuitive notification method I think that is how tech should work, especially in software) I'm speaking of lifting entire concepts and making them your own...you lot like to bitch about a touchscreen OS, or icons, or a completely different and altogether more useful "slide ot unlock" then I can bring up the drop down notification panel which is more like Android's than Android's slide to unlock is like Apple's.
You can't complain about one and ignore the other.

As I wrote in another thread, the truth is biased, and in this case, it's biased against Google.

22. The system of claim 21, further comprising means for generating, in response to a user selection, a display of detail information regarding a plurality of recent messaging events for the mobile device.
btw, Point 2 seems to render your claims, somewhat moot.
I strongly disagree. Look how many people downloaded Chrome for iOS. A majority of users will download the new Google maps and new YouTube from the app store. Apple previously restricted ads in YouTube and Google maps because it was a preloaded app. Now Google is free to so whatever they want with ads. This will be a huge jump in revenue for Google. Google maps and YouTube are far too ubiquitous in so many iOS users lives. Just wait and see Google Maps and YouTube hold the top download spot for months on the app store.
TechCrunch just reported Chrome on iOS has reached a whopping 2.7% share of traffic. That's not a majority.
While people might want to download the new YouTube app, you might wait to express your judgement over Maps until you use it.
And if you thing Google sees "huge revenues" from mobile, you need to look at their public financial statements. They make nearly nothing from all mobile combined, and most of that has been due to iOS, where it had a lock on web search, Maps and directions. Money in mobile isn't coming from ads, really. That's why the App Store is trouncing Google Play and why nobody is doing serious commercial development for Android, apart from a few recognizable games ported over at minimal effort.

Rubber banding hardly, if at all...plus Apple wasn't the first to use that effect, they simply patented it...
Slide to unlock? eh, 2.3 sure I'll let you have that, 4.1? nope...4.1 specifically avoids the language of the patent.
