"It is not where you take things from- it is where you take them to"-Jean-Luc Godard
I am currently reading the story of Steve Jobs. In the book the author tells a story how Jobs tried to berate Bill Gates, in front of several Apple employees, for stealing the Mac OS system and relabeling it Windows even though Jobs had modeled his version on Xerox Parc's version.
Gates' response was classic. He told Jobs that the way he saw it that he broke into Xerox's house intending to steal the TV but he found out that Jobs already had stolen it.
History is murky often times. Tesla sued Marconi that he was the inventor of the radio. He even won a court decision indicating that he was the inventor of the radio and not Marconni. Who do most people acknowledge as the inventor of the radio? Marconni.
Today's question is:
"Where are you taking the ideas of others to?"
