You can't own an idea. The idea of 'searching with your voice' is not something Apple can own.
They can own a specific implementation of searching with your voice, but that's it. The general concept of "doing this thing" is not something that is protectable.
Also, not that it is really relevant, but selling point Apple copied from Android? Notification center. A direct, 'slavish' copy (to use Koh's own terms), but you're not jumping up to defend Google's 'innovations' in the untamed wilderness of "use part of the screen to tell you what's happening".
5 years of iOS work and the only thing you can find is "notification center"? It's not even a copy. It's not close to what it is on Android.
I just stop here. It doesn't make any sense to argue about this anymore. I just hope this copying just stops and everyone can have it's own innovative feature and not copied crap!
