1996 Steve Jobs: “A good artist copies, a great one steals”
Recently, the lawsuit Apple on HTC for alleged patent infringement is being activelydiscussed at Habré. I would like to share the video in 1996:
(translation under the cut)
The interview was filmed for the documentary program “The Triumph of the Nerds” and looks quite ironic in the light of recent events. At 20 seconds, Jobs states: "We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas." (" We were never ashamed to steal great ideas ") ')
And what does the head of Apple say in a recent statement:
“We can ask you something about it.We've decided to do something about it.It’s not our concept. ”
("We can sit and watch how competitors steal our inventions, or do something. We finally decided to do something. We believe that competition is good, but competitors should come up with their own original technology, don't steal ours ”)
