Re: Apple now wants the Galaxy S3 and 10.1 Note banned I first I disagreed with people about this. Apple WAS the innovator in getting the touchscreen phone revolution rolling but just because you build the first car doesn't mean you get to ban everything with a steering wheel.
You have the head start...you go build the next better car and by the time everyone has copied that...which they will, you are well on your way to the next car.
THAT is innovation, not suing everyone else so that you can stop innovating. |

Mullica Hill, NJ | sadly Apple thinks that they should always be exclusive. They seem to forget they stole the GUI from Xerox PARC.

| No it didn't, just like the Diamond Rio didn't start the digital music player revolution. It was the hype machine at Cupertino that started it. Outside of nerd-world no one gave a crap about the Prada and even inside few cared. It barely sold a million units over the first year and a half while the iPhone did over 6M units in less than that.
From time to time the first product in the class isn't the one that starts the 'gotta have it' avalanche. |

You have been watching too much Pirates of Silicon Valley. Apple didn't steal anything from PARC.

| But xerox owned the patents, which they tried to claim as theirs:
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Comp···poration
quote:
Midway through the suit, Xerox filed a lawsuit against Apple claiming Apple had infringed copyrights Xerox held on its GUIs. Xerox had invited the Macintosh design team to view their GUI computers at the PARC research lab; these visits had been very influential on the development of the Macintosh GUI. Xerox's lawsuit appeared to be a defensive move to ensure that if Apple v. Microsoft established that "look and feel" was copyrightable, then Xerox would be the primary beneficiary, rather than Apple. The Xerox case was dismissed, for a variety of legal reasons
Whatever your terms are of theft, Apples entire business was made on unoriginality. Rather or not Xerox gave them the ability to, they still took somebody else's product and made it theres. |

Re: Apple now wants the Galaxy S3 and 10.1 Note banned It wasn't theft by any measure, they bought access to it and hired the people that developed it. It was no more theft than Microsoft buying DOS for "way too cheap". |
