Apple didn't revolutionize power supplies; new transistors did
Here's a little lesson I've learned about claims of theft of revolutionary products: they're always false. Innovation and invention are continuous and gradual processes, with numerous precursors and multiple independent and simultaneous origins. It's basically evolution. There is no such thing as intellectual theft, nor are there revolutionary products, nor are there genius or original inventors.<p>There's just dumb plodding incremental innovation by connecting past ideas together into useful products.<p>Everything is a remix. There are no revolutionaries, only winners writing their own versions of history.<p>Good entrepreneurs copy. Great entrepreneurs steal.
