What Goes Around Comes Around Apple

Apple is taking Samsung to court with allegations that they have stolen the design of the Iphone. Ummmmm…… I’m not the smartest man on this planet but what exactly is Apple pissed about? Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t the foundation of apple based on the idea that they stole the idea of the graphic user interface from Xerox and never really gave credit where credit was due. Isn’t that what is happening here?

I always think things like this are funny because for just a quick history lesson on the beginning of Apple all you have to do is watch the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. Apple was always fighting the power, looking at the large corporations that ran the computer industry and trying to figure out a way to beat them at their own game or maybe even create a whole new game. And they did it, to the surprise of everyone, but what they did not anticipate is that they would become the “Man” themselves. Apple has had so many innovations over the last few decades and now that they are the power, it looks like someone else is coming in to pirate from them….. Seems fair to me.

Even beyond all of this, the fact that Apple would stoop to this level now can lead you to come to only one conclusion, Apple is losing money. You can only get a giants attention if you can make them feel that you’re there. The other phone isn’t exactly brand new, its been out for a while so why now? My personal opinion is that Steve Jobs isn’t around to stop the greedy money grubbers do what greedy money grubbers do and that’s grub money. I expect to see a lot of changes coming to Apple under the guise of trying to stay competitive or “its what Steve Jobs would have wanted.”
