Apple stole it in the first place
 

Stoel the multitouch surface from microsoft surface





Cool TED video explaining it....Embrace the Remix

They stole multi-touch and just like there were damning Samsung emails saying they needed to look like the iPhone there were Apple emails saying they need to look like Sony phones.

Apple has stolen A LOT of shit over the years. Hell, Steve Jobs openly admitted to it. But they did it intelligently, where there were no patents.

And to be fair, ALL tech company steal from each other, or reverse-engineer technology. Not exactly news.

Watch that PBS documentary, Triumph of the Nerds. You'll see that Steve Jobs was a driven visionary -- but you'll also see that he raided tech from Xerox and called it his own, because they "weren't smart enough to know what they had.".

Steve even stole from his partners :2 cents:

Bullshit.

There was one email that spoke of the Sony Style of the 80's. And there was one mockup that proved to be just a pet project. On the other hand Samsung had detailed documents and emails that called for the ripping off of the iPhone and iOS.

But I guess everyone hears what they want to hear.

Did he go to hell because he stole all and then sue for stolen ideas?
