You were saying ...

Yeah by stealing ideas from other people and calling it their own..starting with when Apple “borrowed” the GUI from Xerox PARC.

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?

Or like this?
“Who Invented the MP3 Player?
Officially, a German company called Fraunhofer-Gesellshaft is responsible for developing and putting the MP3 player on the market. In 1987, Karlheinz Brandenburg, a specialist in electronics and mathematics, led research at the Fraunhofer Institut Integrierte Shaltungen Research Center. He, along with Bernhard Grill, Thomas Sporer, Bernd Kurten and Ernst Eberlein are credited on the patent for the MP3 player”

Oops!
I don’t see Apple’s name being mentioned there.
