Perhaps you can update your sig with one thing they 'innovated' then.

Jobs was nothing but a salesman, taking other people's stuff and putting it in shiny boxes for idiots to pay through the nose for.
Steve Wozniak was a true innovator and 'genius' at Apple, creating the Apple II which put the company on the map.
After Woz's role at Apple diminished and ended, Apple was a failure as a company with virtually no market share, and on the verge of complete demise in the 90s.
Bill Gates saved Apple from oblivion, and
Jonathan Ive put the company back on the map by designing pretty boxes for already existing technology.
Steve Jobs? Who?
Oh, he was busy reinforcing his own demented cult of personality for wackos like you who think he's the Messiah. Modestly comparing himself to the likes of Gandhi, MLK, Picasso, Einstein, Edison, Dylan, Lennon or Hitchcock; insanely nuts to anyone outside the Church of Appletology.
You only have to look at Mactards building shrines and lighting candles at Apple Stores after his death to see how far fruitcake whackjob Apple customers fall for it.
Apple innovating?
Shit, even the name is ripped off from the Beatles.
Patent lawsuits like this, claiming to 'own' concepts that are ancient or inconsequential, are the very opposite of innovation. Trying to ban the competition -- gee, that's always a winner for consumers -- is just more evidence that Apple is fully Evil. It has become what it always wanted to be: Microsoft at its worst.
Meanwhile Bill Gates is out there spending his money saving the world.
