In short, that's debatable, no it doesn't, and no it most certainly isn't
I could elaborate and prove this, and it is probably also useful in relation to the debate about phone design copying, but you know you're proposing to argue a technical point about copyright of architectural design with an architect - right?
I mean, haven't I bored you all enough?!
And neither building is most definitely an 'architectural masterpiece'!

Well, we've covered the patenting visual design issue, and I'm not going to disagree.
Although I'm an Apple user, I can clearly see when they have done some stupid or undesirable stuff. I can also laugh at the 'sh*t Apple fans say' videos on Youtube. There are a couple on Android too.

I'm going to take that in the spirit of a jovial dig in the ribs. You don't really want to have that discussion do you?
