Great quote, but still, fuck Steve Jobs. This guy was a total douche and everyone admires him, whereas Bill Gates is loathed but a thousand times more humane.
Steve jobs seemed like a douche because he wasn't like bill gates going "oh look _____ charity, here is a dollar! Love me!"
Jobs donated $110 billion to cancer research and charity over the course of his life

$110 BILLION ? Please give me a reliable source, because I'm laughing my ass off right now. According to his widow, it should be more about $50 million, whereas the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has a budget of $3 billion per year.
The computer mouse
The media player
The tablet computer.
iPhone layout and design.
Slide to unlock.
Personal assistant (siri).
Siri's voice.
iPad split keyboard.
Cloud apps.
Live wallpaper.
The smart watch.

Do I need to keep going?

-It isn't copying something if you do the same concept, it's only copying if you use the EXACT same thing, ie Apple Watch
----
-iPhone was first touch screen smartphone
-----
-iPhone design is unique and it cannot be said that it was copied
----
-Apple bought the right to use Xerox mouse, and changed its design
----
-ITunes wasn't the first media player but it was damn sure not a copy of WMP
----
-iPod was first MP3 player that could store that many songs, and it had a unique design
----
-Siri was voiced by Susan Bennett and no other voice assistant uses that voice
----
-Apple's live wallpaper is dynamic and the store doesn't sell them like Google Play
----
-WHAT TABLET COMPUTER? (Btw surface is a piece of shit)
----
- really? Cloud apps is a stolen design. 1)it's open source and therefore anyone can use it, 2) there isn't a patent on it
----
- you can't copyright a split keyboard, just like you can't copyright bounce at bottom of page
- slide to unlock is a function, and Microsoft didnt patent it, therefore Apple did, and they won the subsequent court case to keep said patent
----
Finally
- Siri was the FIRST voice assistant for a smartphones.
I may have has bad info for some of my points, but some still stand:
.
In 1998, Compaq released the Personal Jukebox with a 4.8 GB capacity and in 2000, Creative released the Nomad with a capacity of 6 GB; compared to Apple's 2001 release of a 5 GB iPod. Not the first, not the first of that capacity.
They also weren't the first with a color display. Archos did that in 2002, it wasn't until 2004 the iPod had a color screen.
.
The IBM Personal Communicator was the first Smartphone, released back in 1994. The iPhone is also a near direct copy of the Samsung F700 which predates it by six months.
.
Bill Gates debuted the tablet PC back in 2001, at the same dev conference that the original Xbox was announced at... a full nine years ahead of the iPad. It and successive iterations have all run a variant of the desk/laptop OS which can natively run the same applications, not some stripped out mobile OS that requires custom apps with dubious compatability.
-You can't patent a color screen
-Apple Newton was the world's first modern tablet PC, and it released in 1993, and failed cause no one bought it
-iPhone was first multi-touch screen in the world
- the iPod release on October 23, 2001 had a storage capacity of 160GB

Not really, this is supposed to be FUNsubtance, not Mac/PCsubstance. We both have some valid points and I'm sure we could go back and forth till the end of time, and I just don't have it in me for that.
.
I'm sure that our paths and words will cross again in another thread in the future. Until, then let's chill.
I'm trying so hard to think of a witty retort to this, some kind of pun, some humour, anything, but there is none. This is just straight up incorrect; You're telling me that all these sluts and chavs who roam the streets stealing from small businesses and smoking weed are actually all thinking 'wow i can't wait to be employed by apple and push humanity forward'

Apple is worth $800,000,000,000 according to financial analysts

The people who see things different, the cast-outs, the "weird ones", remember this ONE thing: X-men were a group of cast-outs too. You have something special too, and you can change the world. UNITE!
