....."and that was the computer that took over the world"

@bliofet I agree with you on that note, but the fact that woz took something that was already there, but difficult for the average consumer to build/use/understand and made it into an easy to use interface and called it the PC that we all know and use today...... it may not be an invention, but it sure is a incredible milestone never the less. Now, peope are not praising steve jobs for the iPod/iPhone, but for a incredible list of accomplishments. Google his name for a larger list.

@Wickedgardengtp I never said no one invented anything... I'm just tired that people that invent stuff never get the credit for it, and the people that repack and sell other people's ideas are considered like gods... No one gave a damn about Dennis Ritchie's death, but you could see "RIP Steve Jobs" on every singe website, how stupid is that ? If Dennis Ritchie didn't exist, all based UNIX Operating Systems (like Mac OSX or Ubuntu) wouldn't existi, nor would C/C++...

@bliofet So, I get what you are saying. They just improved on an idea and gave it a new name. Ok, fine, but if that is your view on them, then no one invented anything. Stop hating them just because they are popular again.

@Wickedgardengtp Allright, tell me one think they invented :).

[Wickedgardengtp]

@bliofet I respect your opinion, but your statement is wrong.

[bliofet]

@Wickedgardengtp If Steve didn't do what he did the World would be the exact same :). Apple fa(gs)ns should accept the fact that Apple never invent anything else then a new design for old stuff...

@techraan Do you even know what 'Personal Computer' means?

[techraan]

@Wickedgardengtp Xerox invented the personal computer. If it weren't for Xerox PARC Research that Apple was given permission to haul off with all PARC's precious research, then NONE of us would be using a frakking mouse.

Xerox invented the GUI, and the mouse, and modern Ethernet integration, and email integration, and laser printer integration, all from the a personal computer, that Xerox also invented.
