Was curious about Windows 8 since I've never seen it in action and clicking through other videos this caught my attention.


Amazing how asian crockery (rice cookers) had plugs well before Apple, lol, who would have known? 4:15 in video.
30pin dot connector, owned by Motorola (patent)....etc, etc, but interesting video.

That clip says it all....

LMAO!!!!

Excellent clip that highlights what an uncreative thief, Apple really is by mainly stealing ideas from others!.....:D

Especially got a kick out of the comments at 8:58 where they show how Apple stole the idea of their App Store from Ubuntu which already had that concept for a couple years!....:biggrin1:

Ditto that with iCloud, that was used in Ubuntu for YEARS before Apple stole it!....:biggrin1:

I was quite surprised with a lot of it. Didn't know that about the plug -Asian crockery- and Linux with the apps and cloud service. Still it's very, very telling. As well as Intel's Thunderbolt where Apple makes it seem like their big thing.

That's a bald faced lie and you know it. Canonical's top honchos have urged devs to copy from Apple and that's on record.

Not a lie one bit, my tech challenged little Applejack salesman.....

The SOP is they ALL steal from each other, it's just that all the 'new cutting edge stuff' is being done in Linux!

Hope this clears up your utter befuddlement nibs....but have a feeling that point will just go over your wee lil pea picking brain....:eyebrows:

Good video, but the argument would be made that all this had military applications long before the technology made it to the consumer. So proving who invented any of it is damn near impossible!

I'm not the one who's always hanging around the local Apple Store and having them laugh at me. ;)
