With all the drama that Bill Gates has been stirring up over the last few weeks, I thought this clip from Pirates of Silicon Valley was a worthy post…ah the good old days…when they were both stealing from Xerox…
Your Ultimate Guide to Thinking Differently
Follow Apple Gazette:
Wow. I totally forgot Anthony Micheal Hall played Bill Gates. Freakin’ awesome!
Not to steal anyones thunder or anything… but buying the grafical user interfacer from Xerox for 12000 $ is hardly the same as, hey steve if you borrow me a prototype of the Mac a year before you release it I’ll create great software for it. And then when your asked if the rumors of the backwards-engineering of the Mac OS going on at Microsoft you say: oh no Steve, wouldn’t dream of stealing your stuff !
See the difference? Buying a patent that a company lacks the vision for vs. borrowing a prototype to backwards-engineer it? You would have to be Dvorak to compare the two.. and I’m asuming your not writing under an alis ????

Please help putting to rest all the myths out there, don’t spread them. Thanks.
