where does the question of stealing comes??? now if I start using an apple product & like some features of it & write my own program to make my own os with those features and with some added features of my choice, does it count as stealing??? I don’t think so… if this goes on next I will b reading lawsuits of hotels against hotels for making the same dish…

Apple DID NOT give stock for a license. The stock was for a demo of the technology.

Apple fans keep saying apple licensed the tech they seen at Xerox PARC even though it is historically documented that there was no license and what the stock was for. . . seems like you all want people to believe a lie and not the truth that apple readily steals ideas.

Like Kindiboy, I’m waiting to hear what Android actually stole here. I’ve read two dozen stories hyperventilating about Jobs’ tirade and not a single solitary insight into what exactly it is that’s stolen. What is the iPhone but a pocket computer with a phone antenna in it? It’s a desktop system for a touch-screen device. Apple makes awesome hardware, but what about it is any more innovative than stuff Palm and Blackberry did? Apple perfected that idea. Android went a step further and opened it. Are swiping between desktop/pages and pinch-to-zoom gestures really IP? That’s just ridiculous.

Could you please provide what Googel exactly steal from Apple? Because I’ve searched and didn’t find anything that they stole. I mean the poor man died trying but I can’t find a single lawsuite against Google.

What did Google steal again, because I can’t find any evidence care to prove it? Because Jobs died trying

Throughout history, Wars over power have been waged. Don’t be fooled by Utopian thoughts that somehow Google is an altruistic age of Aquarius company, giving all for free, free OS is a delusional view. See the forest for the trees! Here is the forest for the trees; Google subsidizes consumer products by being a B to B giant in a capitalist market system. Look! think! OK, YOU are thinking. Question; How can we dominate the market system and make a fortune?; funnel money away from consumer product companies to us. How? offer competing consumer products! How do we flood the market? Same way big corporations replaced mom and pop stores in the past. How? by moving into a market, offer our subsidized product cheaply, until the revenue stream is choked off long enough to close down competition in an area. OK that works, but how can we step it up a few notches? By offering subsidized products “free” to other Massive corporations, why? because it chokes the revenue of consumer product companies selling to OEM’s, while expands our market. Remember our bread and butter is control of consumer data, our fortune! This is huge! yes! OEM’s, retail giants, phone carriers all pushing our product, They have control of distribution channels, buyers options and experience at retail, plus product design, as well as combined marketing in the media. To me this is an aggressive business strategy it certainly is not a pussyfooted cotton pony ride! Imagine into the future a little; If the subsidized model runs its course, it means less consumer choice! Why? more control in one company; Google. How? If consumer product companies fold! then we are left with implied consent, information bending, agenda backed products, information control, thought leader control with greater centralization. Due to the fact that it is centralized media on a larger scale. In effect Google has figured out how to exponentially expand the size of corporate power, through synergy of big corporations from, oem’s, carrier’s, to the major retail super stores, all pushing in the same direction witch benefits Google, while undermines consumer product companies who make revenue by selling products. I like buying a product, paying a person for their skill and time, with no strings attached, I.e; apps that don’t collect use data. Pay the person outright, F the continual feed of use data. I know this is my opion, and allot of people like the implied consent use data model, but in time it wont be viewed in such favorable light. Don’t be myopic! Think for a minute and you can see Google doesn’t need your empathy, it is systematically dominating the market! Would you let some one take your lunch money? Now imagine fortunes to be made and kept, do you think its not going to evoke a fight? of course it is, all the players in this game know the stakes, smart full grown people going after fortunes, Google doesn’t get a free pass from me, its another capitalist company in the game of fortunes, and they know what they are doing!

Apple gave Xerox a big chunk of their company stock in exchange for a license to the Xerox technology. Where’s the big chunk of Google stock given to apple for stealing apple’s patents? Hmmm?

The claim that Apple ripped of Xerox is a flat out liar, and repeating it makes you a scumbag piece of shit.

Just another person who wants other people’s property without having to pay for it.
