Reported in numerous places. This from Redmond Pie:
http://www.redmondpie.com/from-steve-jobs-biography-im-going-to-destroy-android-because-its-a-stolen-product/
| Quote: |
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,” Jobs said. “I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.

And to Eric Schmidt:

I don’t want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won’t want it. I’ve got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that’s all I want.

Hmmm...
Pot meet kettle...
I wonder how much has been stolen by Apple since its inception?
The list is known and almost endless...
Never ceases to amaze me how they can charge outrageous
sums for a "FREE" kernel on their PCs etc...

So Steve Jobs gets to the Pearly Gates, where St. Peter is gazing sourly at a tablet.
"Hi Pete", he says breezily, "You look a bit blue, what's up?"
"Oh, hello Steve," says the Guardian of the Gates of Heaven, "I got so used to thumbing my phone buttons, when I got this touch tablet I jabbed the screen with my thumb and I don't know what happened but the gates won't open for anybody today. I'm having to send you all, ah - downstairs."
*No worries," says Steve, "I know the iPad inside out, I'll reset it for you and fix the gates app."
They gaze at each other a few long seconds, each determined not to crack any "Gates" gags.
Finally St. Peter replies, "Sorry Steve, it's a Galaxy. Not $40 Billion, not a thermonuclear warhead can get you out of this one. 'Bye."

"Good artists copy, great artists steal. We have been shameless about stealing great ideas." - Steve Jobs.
If indeed the story is true. |
