Steve Jobs stole the idea for the mouse on the Macintosh and the GUI from Xerox's Palo Alto computer and claimed he invented them

Yea this stuff happens endlessly on repeat.
A lot of small people segments in companies result to work theft from other people.
I can't say I've stolen ideas personally, but I have most definitely been accused of theft of ideas and there is inspiration gathered from other people's ideas.
When broken down to the implementation of a system the system generally comes down to 90% work and 10% idea (varying degrees). Any system of great scale is notable in my eyes. What is morally right? Is it morally right to steal an idea from somebody who is desperate for your own glory? No. But is it morally right to be inspired? Is it morally right to accuse midjourney art of being idea theft? No because the system is well beyond the skill scale of an ordinary artist, an ordinary artist cannot construct such a system. But then again these artists have never been viewed as valuable or paid for their work, so when something comes along and monetizes their hard work almost instantly there is obvious anger about it.
What is morally right or wrong here?
I believe different areas of justice have failed to detect and resolve crimes in other areas, so people blame the symptom that is idea theft, when there is monopolization problem, and legal complexity problem.

He never claimed he invented them or that Apple invented them. Alan Kay worked at Apple. They got the inventors of Smalltalk to make the Apple version of Smalltalk.

I have an actual million dollar idea, make a mousepad with wireless charging and a mouse that supports wireless charging, something like that tesla charger where you can put your phone anywhere on the charger. then you have no chord and always have power. Surely this exists already?
Even if they placed the charging port where it makes the most sense from a consumer POV, Magic Mice still suck
Had to use one at work at some point, I just brought my own mice after a week
The worst thing is that it used to be okay. Not ‘good’, but at least better than it is now.
I swear tech is regressing. Sure, cameras, processing power and thinness are getting better, but expandability, upgradeability and reparability are suffering. >t. holding on to his pre-2015 tech for dear life
The Magic Mouse 1 was already the worst mouse I've ever used. Used to be totally unusable e.g. scrolling on google maps. At least it looks nice and feels premium.
test group said they were burning their hand when using the mouse and charging at the same time. this was to discourage use while charging the battery.
yes iTodds are that fricking moronic
Lmfao
Yes, just put the charge port infront of the 2 clicker buttons on the front side of the mouse, so it can be used when charging.
Or better yet, just have a cable connecting the mouse to the computer so there is no charging requirement.

This, genius idea
I'm going to steal your idea and become a millionaire. Does that remind you of anybody?
What are you implying? You're going to have to spell it out for me.

It's called "The Dildominator from Bad Dragon"
>A4tech perfected this 2 decades ago
>morons don't give a shit because it's not RGBTQ+ and not overpriced double clicking shit
Yes, Logitech Power play
>so it can be used when charging.
Which is just what Apple INTENTIONALLY avoided, for durability.
>Or better yet, just have a cable connecting the mouse to the computer so there is no charging requirement.
why are PCtards like this, wireless is the future!
Does someone have the meme? The meme that explains this is an intentional design choice forcing users to buy two mice
Beyond the design issue with charging, it has the worst mouse tracking and is the most uncomfortable mouse I've ever used.
Even if they placed the charging port where it makes the most sense from a consumer POV, Magic Mice still suck
Had to use one at work at some point, I just brought my own mice after a week
My office mate slams his on the desk twice a day on average on full power to get it to work
humiliation ritual

>it looks nice
Do you just stare at your mouse?
You don't?
Then there is a not enough pay in proportion to contribution and skill issue.
These problems have amplified over time and caused significant symptoms to occur in other areas of society.
test group said they were burning their hand when using the mouse and charging at the same time. this was to discourage use while charging the battery.
Idea: actually improve the design so your mouse doesnt cook instead of using half an inch more wire to put the charebport at the bottom.
dumb shit but what do you expect from the money laundering "tech" giants of SV?
perfect time to touch grass
No u.
nearly a decade late to the party, but yes.
People are still talking about it and advertising it, a decade later
This was marketing 4d chess and 10 years later you're still too moronic to get it. Rent free
Just get a 90 degree adapter.
you still can't use it. The mouse is disabled when it's charging. Apple and their innovation is truly innovative
