Take most of everything negative you have said negative to me. That's why. Also its just a joke. How can you not take a joke? Also by all means please ignore me if I annoy you "that" much. Also if you say anything I know will end bad I'll ignore you as well cause I don't want any conflict that will end badly.

I can correct you on that one: Both Microsoft and Apple borrowed the idea of a graphical user interface from the Xerox Alto.

As much as ive read/seen about it though, apple took that idea and used it first although you cant really say that microsoft had any idea that apple had done that untill they were already well underway with their own version of what eventually became windows

Both microsoft and apple visited xerox in that period and saw the same machine. Apple even hired a bunch of Xerox employees into their company. Of course it's an improvement on the original but it's not their invention, they just developed the idea further. That's true to most of their popular products. Then there's consumer inertia

They didnt use any of the xerox software or code to make mac os lol.

Oh and the thing apple got most out of it was the mouse whereas microsoft completely dismissed that idea untill later.

We lost a visionary when we lost Steve Jobs. I might not have been a fan of his closed-system approach to software and hardware, but there's no doubt in my mind that he revolutionized the world of technology as we know it for generations to come.

If it were not for Steve Jobs, we would not have the smartphone as a staple of the modern world (I am aware these things have existed since 1992, but it was he who first brought them into the real spotlight). We no longer carry phones but insanely powerful mobile computers. Think about that, and think about how our lives will never be the same because of it.

I can't help but wonder what happens to Apple now...surely, he was the one who was guiding their creative side? He was almost certainly the one with the idea for the iPod, iPhone, and iPad? The whole 'i' line, for that matter? Where will they go now that their luminary is gone (assuming this is the case)?
