That top quote doesn’t mean what you think it means.

The bottom lacks vital context. Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google was on the Apple board during the development of the iPhone and iPad and was privy to insider information all awhile pivoting Android from a blackberry rip off to exactly what Apple was doing. It’s similar to the Xerox thing back in the 80s where people think Jobs is being a hypocrite about ripping off their GUI when Bill Gates did it too. Apple paid Xerox in stock to see it, Microsoft just took it. Not illegal, but Jobs was pissed.

Reminder that Steve Wozniak is the true Apple genius.

He’s also the guy that carries an Android in his pocket for all his fun stuff!

They both are. Woz wanted to create hobbyist boards without even casing. Jobs was the one that pushed for commercial use. Separately they probably wouldn’t have had anywhere near the impact as they did together. At best Woz would be Linus Torvalds.

I thought I was in “!android” not “!IHateApple”.

Whatever you think of Steve Jobs, Android is better off for having competition
