  • Steve Jobs didn't invent the phone. He stole it. Nokia had the market by the balls, Steve Jobs just took the phone and made it million times better. Copying would be making a phone with keyboard that looks better Nokia, but is a better copy. There you go. Stealing works (in artistic way) not in literally....

  • @49fiori Actually Motorola invented it...

  • and he says android stole his ideas haha fucking idiot good news is i dont have to see the cunt anymore

  • @gtadead did he say that android phones were bad?no

  • Sebastian Ingrosso?

  • Sebastian Ingrosso?

  • Yet apple is sueing Samsung for copying the i pad and ihpone seriously you idiot

  • @kiraofthewasteland hi.  in this 3 dimensional world, you either fuck or be fucked.

  • *burning in iHell*

  • Samsung's defense should have used this one, imagine how great it would have been.

  • its not right to speak ill of dead douchebags

  • Steve Jobs is a great artist. 

  • @weskerghostbutterfly He was a thief. Thanks God he is in iHell now.

  • Do as I say not as I do...

  • Show this to Steve when he said that "Android" was stolen from iOS :)

  • So Job complained about window stealing the GUI from Apple back in the 80s. Yet Apple stole

    the window idea from Xerox who was the first ones who came up with that.  Stop the hypocritical

    yapping about people stealing ideas from Apple. All the companies copy and ideas from one another and made it better. Apple is no exception..

  • Yet he gets butthurt when Microsoft with Windows and Google with Android"steal" from Apple...a bit hypocritical.

  • Egoistic idiot.

  • First video I have seen that has bad comments about Steve, that' s BAD !!!!

  • @GreatGoldApps Steve Knobs was a cunt of a man as well as a thief the earth is better without that oxygen thief

  • Thieves are not artists. They are still thieves.

  • I don't know why people eat the shit this guy has pooped. Propaganda much? 1%!

  • He will burn in hell!

  • He sickens me. Sorry to all his family and friends who are still grieving, but he created monsters. I am sick of hearing "MAC IS AMAZING, HAHAHA. IDK WHAT TO DO WHEN MY COMPUTER GETS A VIRUS. HAHAHAHAHA. WHATS A PROCESSOR?!? D:" And the worst part? They think they know more about computers then me. They have no clue what Linux is. I hate them =.=

  • Sorry , not Atari , Xerox ... Wups :-D

  • Android Rocks, Rust in Pain Mr. Jobs ! Apple steal every thing, from GUI to Smartphone. GUI = Atari XT and Tablet/Smartphone = Sharp Portfolio, Palm, WM 6 ...

  • So he's admitting to stealing Android! Lmao.....then apple freaks out cause Android is still #1 so they sue everyone and their mom and spread false statements! Apples pathetic....Android FTW

  • I love how he's openly admitted to stealing ideas and improving upon them, and yet when any other company has the slightest similarity to apple, they get sued. Apple needs to focus more on improving their own products than suing anyone who may have a better product.

  • FUCK YOU STEVE JOBS, GO TO HELL PLEASE

  • The guy had a real complex about being second fiddle to Microsoft.

  • Rot in hell, Steve Jobs.

  • steve jobs is such a clown.

  • Fuck you steve jobs

  • Steve Jobs Your loved by lots, hated by lots, and unknown by lots. People can say what they like about you as i honestly don't care, your impact changed things, whether the lovers or haters like it or not. And that is what you shall be remembered for.

  • @LukeGlover94

    gay.

  • @strictlystyles LOL that made me laugh.

  • Comment removed

  • steve jobs wont be missed

  • Comment removed

  • Asshole.

  • Translation: It´s only ok if i do it.

  • @Abon666 agree.

    

  • And you say that Microsoft copies Apple? Here is Jobs clearly admitting that Apple copies also.

  • @piratesmvp I think you missed the entire point of this video...

  • @piratesmvp Microsoft copies Apple. Apple steals from Microsoft :D

  • People don't seem to realize that Apple is insignificant in the big financial scheme of things. Pixar, a Jobs created company, was created from nothing and a few years later sold for over a billion dollars.

  • i would say Google copied and didn't steal .. IF google came out with something that was better and radically different based on the iPhone then i think we would be having a different conversation but as it is Android OS is clunky bloated and to technical for its own mobile good. being a fragmented mess docent help either.

    (the nexus phones i would say come close to not being what i described)

  • Most people misunderstand what Jobs is saying. Steal in this context means "making it your own," or in other words, adapting others ideas into something better. Copying is like a xerox machine - there is no difference. Stealing (in this context) means making it your own and making it better.

  • @Emh008 funny you should mention xerox as that is the company from which jobs stole the GUI and mouse

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @Emh008 Glad there are still people with a brain on this the E-net

  • who new this one interview would come back to haunt him in the wake of the smartphone war that apple is losing control of.

  • You people are taking this way too literally. He doesn't mean that you should copy exactly, but you should be inspired to make something better that serves the same functions.

  • I guess Steve Jobs is a great artist.

  • ZOOLOGISTS AND MUSICIANS AND HIPSTERS XD fuck you Steve

  • Yet Steve despised Android because it "stole" Apple's ideas?

  • Comment removed

  • I have the idea that this Jobs died somewhere last decenium.

  • So it's okay for them to copy?

  • After knowing what Apple do today and after all those patent-shit, I'll say this: Fuck you Apple and everyone behind Apple. You're just weak and afraid of competition on the market, dickheads.

  • @KingKjellboy that's a bit one sided . true , if apple gets to horde everything that remotely like their product , they dont need to do anything else but you cant do shit . on the other hand , a lot of people worked their heart and soul into products like the ipod and iphone . there were numerous prototype that ended up nowhere , money and time poured into it . if you have to spend 2 years of your life working on a product , wouldnt you want to protect it too ?

  • @Hikayuhuy If I developed new techology, nope, but only the device, not the techology. They are halting the progression of technology because of that. Or rather, I would, but I would let others use the technology and furhter develope it. How the hell do Apple think we are able to do what we can do with everything? They were nevere the first with touch, computer or even touch-based cellphones. Besides, I wonder when those who actually got the original patent on those stuff, going to sue Apple?

  • "Part of what made the Macintosh great..." was that I was able to sell mine to some stupid hipster dickhead for way way more than it was worth. The other part was that before I sold it, it worked GREAT as a doorstop.

  • New contest: goo.gl\k55ge - win iPhone 5.

  • What you idiots don't realize is that Google's CEO was on the Apple's board and he was invited by Steve to join the board. He was there and knew everything about iPhone and just after a year it was launched.. he quit and there we had Android. Point being.. this whole time he had the idea of Android but stayed on board to learn about Apple's plans. This is called backstabbing and I would be just as pissed as Steve Jobs was.

  • @Psyched Eric Schmidt didn't have the "idea" of Android, it was a fully fledged company that Google bought in 2005. Sure they nurtured it and developed it into the open OS that we all use and love today, but to say he say iOS and said "we need a piece of that, exactly as it is" is a ludicrous argument.

  • So.. Apple was granted the "slide to unlock patent" fuck steve jobs. getting rid of the iphone 4 and getting that new nexus. Apple execs are all fruits. They trying too hard to control the mobile industry and barely contribute to any "new" innovation. Android has more to offer than those POS.

  • F**king hypocrite. That will be his legacy unfortunately.

  • @greedoe well he's dead now. wish him the best in heaven, given that god somehow isn't much of a fan of humans and apples, or hell.

  • @debunker1905 I don't deny he turned an ailing company around, and I wish him the best. Love him or loathe him, he turned computing and mobile devices into something the general public could get behind. I just really don't buy the whole "you stole from us" ethos he adopted late in life, when nothing his company did was original, just nicely packaged.

  • wtf 

  • Steve's last move was to probably launch a lawsuit against Samsung to somewhat unsettle Android. But if he had this philosophy I do not understand why he would do such a thing.

  • and this ass vowed to stop android because they stole from apple.... Boo Hoo Hoo, you won't be missed

  • @tuxedokats Fuck you. This man started a revolution. What the fuck have you done with your life?

  • @JustASteezMachine Mao Zedong also started a revolution. WTF have YOU done with your life?

  • @tuxedokats Yes he will. I miss him

  • @tuxedokats Steve Jobs changes computer use as we know it.

    He's not long passed, have some respect!

    RIP Steve

  • @beyondtheinsane Steve Jobs isn't as innovative as you think he is.

  • @tuxedokats he's a hypocrite...isn't he.

  • android>ios

  • OMG the comment section. Full of trolls.

  • @4izm0v OMG the comment section. Full of a guy who can't handle the honest truth.

  • @sepharoth02 Apple payed Xerox in pre-IPO stock and the people who worked on the GUI at Apple were Xerox PARC engineers that left Xerox.

  • What a hypocrite.

  • So it was fun for Steve Jobs to steal from people, what they where trying create? Sure it takes time and resources to develop a product, its why many companies must slow down. But then we get these people that take other people's ideas and managed to make better and quicker because they didn't waste time in creating products. Apple never created anything.

  • Great artists steal.

    Organized crime groups steal. If you steal off them, they fuck you up.

    Apple Inc is not a collection of great artists

  • *Sigh*

    Most progress in this industry is made by taking someone else's concept and refining it to the point where you end up with something people want.

    There were touch screens before the iPhone came out, other smartphones, icons laid out in a grid pattern, app stores of a sort (linux repositories) and so on...

    What Apple did was polish the hell out of these concepts to the point where they had a really good implementation. Then they made it easy to develop for it.

  • When they say it's not about the money, IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY. I know douchebags that idolize Jobs and run their business lives the same way. They are liars, phonies, and people like that should not be allowed to have children.

  • And that's exactly what Jobs did: steal, steal, and steal.

    I know who's death I won't be mourning.

  • 120 people see through to the truth

  • @sammelwuhl You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Who are you to judge?

  • @listenwhatisayoh I believe to know a little about it :) I found that when Apple stole the mouse, some interface ideas etc. and made their computer, it was a computer better than the sum of the components (if i can say it like that :p) but when i look at android i can't help but think, kinda has something from what i see on an iPhone ... but it's just not (this may indeed be subjective) as good. So you're right, i should've said: i personally think there's a difference. You don't have to agree.

  • RIP. You will be forever missed.

  • @4izm0v nope

  • Dead now. Eat it.

  • Why do people worship this guy?

  • @St8Solja Just because of this guy, you have a "computer" in your house...

  • @mirussurvive

    Lawl, unless he has a mac, then jobs really had nothing to do with it.

  • @kublkun he pretty much made the comps popular and turn em into massive use..

  • @mirussurvive Nope because I don't own a mac I will thank Mr. Bill Gates though

  • Pissy man

  • Richard Stallman describes the mentality of apple as "The Jail OS made cool". Apple literally took a bsd derivative and added quartz on top of it, and then closed it up and sold it as a "new product". I think that apple is probably the most dangerous threat to free (as in freedom) software. APPLE IS NOT ON THE SIDE OF FREE SOFTWARE. They are a trojan that pretends to be on the side of free software but in reality they oppose EVERY facet of its philosophy and enforce it with great predudice.

  • God, what a fucking douche.

  • @jimjam154 He was such a great mind to be honest and without this attitude you wouldn't have the computer infront of you.

  • @andyhmltn He was still an asshole.

  • @jimjam154 After reading his book I honestly don't think he was bad.

  • @jimjam154 True. But still a genius. In his own way.

  • That's all they, or He ever did. They stole ideas.

    That's why there are all these patent law suits going on. Apple is scurred of Android.

  • “I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong … I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this."

    Glad the evil twat is dead.

  • @ParadoxNG Welcome to fucking business. You are naive or just plain dumb if you think every other company doesn't think that way about their competitors.

  • Jobs on the Macintosh:

    "Good artists copy, great artists steal".

    Jobs on Android:

    "Our lawsuit is saying, ‘Google you fucking ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off.’ I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product.”

  • @dsgamecube Why should Android not be allowed to steal? Steve obviously does it. They shouldn't be limited to what they steal, just because they're stealing from Steve Jobs.

  • @dsgamecube And that combination of hypocrisy and hatred probably killed him. Oh well, c'est la vie ( or if you prefer, c'est la guerre!)

  • @dsgamecube i don't you and the other 150 ppl that liked that comment understand what steve meant while saying this.

  • @retardedBananaXp

    ...and I don't think you know of Steve Jobs' history. Cancer or not, he was a scumbag to his competition, and ignored his own morals and principles on life. Shame on him and shame on Apple for creating a scumbag following that seemingly can't piece together the reality of things for themselves.

    That being said, I hope he rests in peace. The iPod was a landmark achievement for the music scene and sparked an underground revolution that is finally starting to surface.

  • @dsgamecube

    Yup, but Google copied a lot of OS to create Android, and they blackmailed the User Mode- Experience - Functions and all the operating-codes in the iOS, as well bill gates in one moment blackmailed Apple, Google did it too.

    But anyways, Android is evolved, but really need to speed up in the performance for all the devices in general, above all in the Multitask, because really in my Galaxy SII runs like crap when i load tha same apps that in my other iPhone 4 : /

  • Wow... That's just crazy... Steve Jobs with hair.

  • There's no stopping on Android, it will rule the Earth someday and IPhone will rule hell..

  • Disappointed, to say the least......

  • If Apple stolel your idea, they created it. Don't question that!

  • WOW

  • Seen the "new" features on the Iphone? Directly stolen from Andriod and windows mobile....

  • @Ronaldopopkings Yes, indeed! But again, Android has taken pretty much from iOS too, so I kinda see it like "exchange" feautures!

    When they launched iOS 5 they at least told a joke about maybe you've seen this kinda "status bar" before, and then they laughed :)

  • @Ronaldopopkings You mean the notifications I guess? What else?

  • I wonder how he'd like Rockefeller's quote "competition is a sin" since we all know how much he "loved" competition

  • Funny how he says that Android steal everything from iphone.. :P

  • Steal this video...

  • Ouch, i think Steve Jobs regretted saying that, cos thats not cool thing to say, whether or not this is actually what happens in real businesses (which I'm sure it does!). I think by misquoting Picasso it was a way to seem intelligent by saying something really dumb......Steve, steve steve, esp now with all the patent wars going on.

  • why was this idiot hell bent on destroying android

  • Jobs is thief with no original ideas.!!!

  • Henry Ford didn't invent the automobile and Steven Jobs didn't invent the computer. However both Jobs and Ford made sure we all us could own and enjoy them.

  • @MsZhangx How can you be on the internet & come up with a comment so utterly incorrect? Nokia didn't make tablets or "smart" phones. They make regular phones, still dominate that market. Until 2011 they were #1 in revenue for over a decade & are still #2 meaning they've made lot's of money over the years AND THEY ADVERTISE ALL THE TIME. People are aware of their products it's just their recent phones have suffered in comparison to competitors. ie symbian sucked.

  • when you copy something its just a copy,but when you something you make it yours it inspires you it longer is a copy its yours you take it to next level and make something great out of the thing you stole.

  • I dont know why all the companies being used by Apple just dont keep this video playing during all the hearings

  • This is how IOS 5 got their ideas from Android lol

  • Idiot... Wow Steve Jobbs could talk out his ass.. Let us all praise him after death.

  • Absolutely fantastic, how Steve manages to take something from Picasso, twist it, and brutalize the source ruthlessly. This is what real innovation is and this is what good artists do.

  • @coosoorlog you're an idiot.

  • @greeneightball Hopefully only one of these comments is irony.

  • @coosoorlog lol

  • I believe that the whole GUI concept was stolen by Apple from Xerox in the 1st place of which Microsoft wrote Apples software programs. Of course this debate if you want to call it that will always be run by fanboys.

    Ubuntu, Bactrack 5, Windows 7 Ultimate boot System.

  • @Heelissrogue go here

    en.wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Hist­ory_of_the_graphical_user_inte­rface#Early_developments

    and READ the Apple paragraph where it states that they secured the rights & compensated Xerox. It was Microsoft who stole the GUI because they didn't compensate anyone.

  • so hes saying its cool 2 steal peoples shit and remake it, 1 day theyll steal something from the wrong someone and get killed. in reality if your not just a leach or a dumbass, you can think of shit on ur own

  • @wirewyatt420 to take inspiration from and improve upon

  • This man was just another thief like those barons in railway-businessa in late 19th century. The motto: "The Public Be Damned".

  • Claiming that Steve Jobs wasn't a great visionary is as ridiculous as saying Bill Gates isn't a great software salesman, or Warren Buffett isn't a great investor. Steve Jobs is perhaps THE great visionary of the late 20th century. There are many forms of creativity. Seeing the possibilities in pre-existing ideas is one. The way he amalgamated ideas and technologies was unique. He changed the tech business forever. That takes creativity. And enormous vision and will.

  • Stealing is COOL, then why sued Samsung?? Coz Losing is not Cool! :P :P

  • Andy Warhol said "good artists copy, great artists steal"...that's why one of his biggest, most famous pieces of art, prominently features a graphic design that he didn't have anything to do with creating; Campbell's Soup...

  • a visionary.

  • "We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We've decided to do something about it," Apple co-founder Steve Jobs said in a statement that accompanied the HTC lawsuit. "We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours."

  • I don't call it stealing, I call it progression. If we look at the history of mankind, every idea, invention, advancement, you name it, is a mere continuation of previous ones. There's no such thing as a purely "original" idea. Let me illustrate: Newton came up with the idea of gravitation...which Einstein used in his theory of relativity...which in itself was used by the scientists who came up with the atom bomb!!! So everything is a continuation. I will call it "Unoriginal Originality' !!!

  • What Bill Gates realized immediately after the inception of the first Apple PC was to realize he wanted to control the BRAIN, the OS and didn't care about who made the hardware, so he bundled his OS in with all the hardware vendors from the get go, that is why Monopolysoft is the perfect monopoly to this day. Gates saw what Apple did, make a cheap build it yourself PC and he focussed on controlling it all.

    Jobs caught on with NeXT, then came back to Apple with OS X eventually, then iOS etc.

  • What a "creative genius" mr. jobs is !! lol

  • he actually says he does not agree with Picasso's saying, he was ashamed of stealing great ideas - he said.

  • Even Picasso stole art directly. Go find a copy of the book "Mirrors"

  • i don't know how the man slept at night, charging so much money and never giving back. i hate apple's arrogance.

  • @endwarler Research before you make an idiot of yourself please. Apple gives to many charities and they have given more to the world than you know. Without Apple, we would not be where we are now in technology.

  • @Stayontargetprod Ah you are correct, and I have mistyped. i should have spelled Steve's Job lack of philanthropy work. (dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/08/­29/the-mystery-of-steve-jobss-­public-giving/).

  • shyster and a thief

  • we miss you steve

  • he dead

  • RIP Steve Jobs

  • Does this mean Sony is the greatest evar?

    (I cast, Anti-Flame!)

  • He misunderstood the original meaning of Picasso´s line.

    Picassos mean a real artist go further than just copy reality. The real artist steals the essence of reality and holds it in a master piece. When Picasso talks about stealing, he meant to say: capture reality.

    Jobs used the phrase totally out of context. What a Jerk!

  • @fkaleo the quote is from Picasso. Your interpretation may vary. But in many ways, that is what Steve Jobs said.

    "We take the best ideas people have from different walks of life, make them work together harmoniously by making something that couldn't exist before using the merits of not just one but all ideas that came together to make something new."
