StupidityForTheMasses at 12:20 AM October 06, 2011 It's not every day when a mere mortal gets a shot at offing a god... but since Jobs is a god to most liberals, I'm going to enjoy this:
Your "god", Steve Jobs is nothing more or less than a two bit con man and thief made big! Everything this guy claimed as some pioneering iCrap innovation is basically someone elses stolen work and here's some proof:
"Steve Jobs: 'We've Always Been Shameless About Stealing Great Ideas'"

He is quoted in some 1980's movie making the same admission: "“Good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.” He even stole the quote from Picasso.
Ohhh... the [great] iPad... can you spell D-y-n-a-b-o-o-k? The Dynabook was a concept, created by Alan Kay in 1968! Google it... the Dynabook was far beyond what the iPad is today! Who was Kay? He worked for Xerox as one of their PARC scientists (Xerox Palo Alto Research Center). How could Jobs ripped the idea?
In 1979, Xerox threw a kind of tech open house, like a community meet. Jobs was there... along with his handful of early crApple employees, and they saw EVERYTHING: WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu, and Pointing device), that became the Apple Lisa!
In 1980, Jobs lured key PARC researchers to join crApple so he could get at THEIR ideas!
Jobs was just a master "shameless' thief!

ReplyDeleteI remember around 1997 Apple was struggling when Mac clone makers were gaining the edge. A few years later I thought Apple was going to go bankrupt and though they were such a joke. I avoided their products because the Macs were associated with the wacky San Francisco crowd. Today, thanks to Steve Jobs, I have an iPhone and can't wait for my iPhone 4S upgrade. He changed my whole view of the company. He is brilliant, and will be missed.

ReplyDeleteFor many of us, the device Jobs created announced his passing to us -- a small tribute to the impact he had on our lives. RIP. http://bit.ly/p0UB9h
