they keep transforming the industry and different businesses ..

Yeah by stealing ideas from other people and calling it their own..starting with when Apple “borrowed” the GUI from Xerox PARC. Apple then graduated to “borrowing” the iPod from Diamond, Creative Labs and other pioneers of the MP3 technology, then Apple again “borrowed” the iPhone idea LG Prada:

LG Electronics Claims Apple iPhone Copies Prada”
Woo-Young Kwak, head of LG Mobile Research and Developement was quoted at 3GSM saying, “We consider that Apple copycat the Prada phone after the design was unveiled when it was presented in the iF Design Award and won the prize in September 2006. We take that to mean ‘Apple stole our idea.”

Bottom line: Apple has never invented anything in their lives. Not the GUI, not the MP3 player, not the touch screen smart phone, not nuthin’.
Aple is good at copying what others have invented, then shouting louder than anyone else about their “new invention”. That's about it really.

You were saying ...

Ahhhh... there you go again... coming up with facts that don't exist.

I know you don't about Apple, which is why you're so ignorant on them on your posts, but I'll try to help you out here.

Apple paid Xerox for it, in stock (details have been posted here repeatedly, but Windows users do have a problem with comprehension, doncha know... you have to repeat about 50 times, I've found before they "get something"... :-) ...).

Xerox made a bundle off the Apple stock and came out of that deal millions of dollars ahead.

And it was all cleared ahead of time by the headquarters, before they ever did it...

Like I said, I know Windows people do have a problem remembering and comprehending, but please to try to keep up on the facts... eh?
