also mad, fat, a dude, etc

As I said, as much an innovator as anyone else. He just happened to skin the cat(s) first. They were already cats before he got to them.

For those who don't do metaphors: He marketed everyone else's ideas better than they did, even if Apple wasn't necessarily the first one to invent the product.

There's no way you're serious...

The first versions of things like excel, word and even windows were actually apple programs and concepts that bill gates ran with more successfully on a larger platform due to microsoft's alliance with IBM. To say that apple didn't innovate is to ignore the entire history of the tech sector for the last 30 years.

Actually, the concepts of word processing and spreadsheets on a computer were out long before Apple came along. Everyone here seems to have this notion that invention is coming up with some brand new thing has never been thought of before. In fact, invention and innovation are really just small incremental changes to existing ideas. I can't think of any invention that was truly a brand new concept with no predecessor.

are you saying that because e.g. excel ran on apple it was an "apple program?" sorry that's retarded.

You idiots wouldn't give the man credit for innovation unless he built a teleportation device in his basement out of parts he smelted together himself out of raw ore. The dude built the first luxury consumer electronics company that has ever existed. I think that defines innovation.

The dude built the first scrooge mcwhackjob pyramid scheme cult worship factory that profits off idiocy that has ever existed. I think that defines being a douche.
