Apple didn't steal the computer from Xerox. They actually went to Xerox and got permission to take it.

Maybe we aren't talking about the same thing. ---
Jobs was so struck by the power inherent to the PARC that he offered Xerox the opportunity to invest a million dollars in Apple computer if the company would agree to let him and his Lisa team study Alto. Xerox felt that it had nothing to lose. After all, they couldn't sell it. They did not believe the world was ready for the advanced PARC technologies. Apple was about to go public and Xerox's investment branch, Xerox Development Corporation, sensed an opportunity to turn a quick profit. Xerox invested $1 million in Apple by purchasing 100,000 shares at $10 each. Furthermore, Xerox signed an agreement with Apple to never purchase more than 5 percent of Apple's outstanding shares. Within a year, these shares split into 800,000 worth $17.6 million when Apple went public.

The project manager at Xerox refused to do the presentation for the Apple folks until she was ordered to do so.

Yep. I would have destroyed everything.
In a way I am glad that Jobs got screwed by Gates and that Gates got screwed by file sharing.

This is dumb, just because you have a similar idea doesn't mean they stole it. I REFUSE@!!! On that logic you could say the mexicans stole the idea for growing and cultivating corn from the iraqis who cultivated wheat?

The new America Invents Act will make it even harder for smaller entities and individuals. America Invents Act was directed at the tech and it was promoted by the likes of Apple, IBM, HP, Microsoft, etc. The only chance you will have is to license to a larger company or be able to spend between 100k to 300k to defend a patent.
You can thank Obama for this one. He could have just not signed this flawed bill.

the apple logo.
alan turing, an englishman, arguably one of the cleverest people that ever lived on earth up until now, he was miles ahead of his time.
he invented the very first computer called the enigma machine to decode german radio code during world war 2 winning the allies the war.
once the allies could get the information on battle plans before they happened, they were ready and waiting for the germans.
he was persecuted by the british government for being gay, so ashamed was he that he injected an apple with poison and took a bite and killed himself.
a scotsman named gordon brown who was prime minister apologised to alan turings family on behalf of the british government on september 10th 2009 calling alan turing a great man who was a war hero.
now you know where the apple logo came from.

coolstorybro. haha. But seriously thats where the apple logo came from? weird. So its a symbol for suiciding gays? ahhhhh it finally makes sense. macs are for fags.
EDIT: You know that joke was in bad taste, I have nothing against fags, but that joke about suicide wasn't cool. I apologise
.EDIT2: I left the joke in though...

tried to verify, here is what wikipedia says
The logo of Apple computer is often erroneously referred to as a tribute to Alan Turing, with the bite mark a reference to his method of suicide.[71] Both the designer of the logo[72] and the company deny that there is any homage to Turing in the design of the logo.[73]

nice fake story you found on you tube.
Bill gates is still worth 56 Billion almost 10x Steve jobs value. jobs was the one who went around science fairs to steal all his peers ideas.
He was a good marketer with great inspiration but he never developed any of his technologies... He just yelled at his engineers until they built what he wanted

ok brain of america :
so the apple logo has nothing to do with the worlds very first computer, so did you email and ask them why they had a fruit as a logo with a bite from it.
did they say it was because they believed eve bit the first forbidden apple on earth, i dont think so, decipher it for yourself.
maybe they have it because they love to eat fruit ?
i wonder what an apple has to do with a computer ??
use your brain.....
you dont need anybody else to think for you.
the americans are a funny breed, next apple will be saying its a conspiracy theory, why would they have the invention of an englishman as their logo.
so it must be the forbidden love part, i do not think so.
let the rest of the planet decide for themselves.
from wikipedia :
Turing is shown holding an apple—a symbol classically used to represent forbidden love, the object that inspired Isaac Newton's theory of gravitation, and the means of Turing's own death.
ALAN TURING the inventor of the computer, killed by a bite from an apple.
always remember that wikipedia is written by the people, it can be ammended at any time.

anyway back to pirate windows 7,,,
do what i did, i went in to a plumbing center and there was a computer on the desk with a windows 7 pro coa on the side of it, i sent the desk assistant for my parts and wrote down the number in two visits.
because it was a business coa you can use them in four computers.
i downloaded windows 7 pro from microsoft and burned it to a bootable dvd disc and installed it.
i am using one of the cd keys now in my laptop, and my daughter has the exact same one in her laptop too.
i tried to use the third but was knocked back.
that was over a year ago and they fully update and are genuine windows 7 professional.

HEY, YOUR A FUNNY BREED!
The Real Story: Maybe he had a hot secretary and she was eating an apple and he was like copping a look, and she took a bite and he jizzed his pants, and its like a inside joke only to him and his closest of mates. So everytime he sees it he laughs.
Fuck Steve Jobs anyway hes the real thief. Who stole his peers ideas. Only people would macs would support him anyway, those douchebags who think theyre so creative and above all smarter and more tech savvy pcers. Macs are for fags.
NOTE: Cool video rec functions though
