implying that every new version of the iphone's(or basically any mac-based product nowdays) "improvements" or "upgrades" arent just a small fraction of what the original should had been in the first place.
reverse-engineering a sprite into something else does not make it an improvement, since for basically 90% there is no understanding on the techniques or concepts behind the creation of such sprite. one would hardly label it as an improvement, but rather a lazy, fruitless attemp to skip the learning curve that developing new content carries within for the sake of attention, or recognition. rather than the value given by the creator of the piece, i'd rather say its the purpose what drives him to do it.
