Apple are just pissed they didn't think of the hamburger menu first. This is terrible advice, the are understood by all and the few people that don't know where this mysterious control will take them can just click it and see. It's not like it's the rm -rf button.

Apple doesn't usualky care if someone else did something first though. If they decided the Hamburger Menu works well in particular use cases, and want to use it in an app of theirs at some point in the future, they'll just drop it into a new iOS SDK and hope everyone forgets about this advise.

Disagree, they took the pull-to-refresh from Tweetie and integrated it into iOS because they thought (rightly so) that it makes sense.

If they would feel the same about the hamburger menu, then they'd do the same.
