“Invent” is the wrong term, it’s “design”.
a new idea is an invention, the implementation is a design.
Comment on Anon is smarter than a genius
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoSure Wozniak invented the Apple I and II. But if he never met Jobs his inventions would have stayed a hobby and Apple would have never existed. Woz also didn’t push for an OS with a GUI (which was revolutionary back then) that was Jobs’ idea. Not to mention that Woz has nothing to do with Apple’s comeback. He has been an honorary employee since Jobs left. Woz is a genius but people give him way too much credit just like they do with Jobs.

Jobs had no ideas. GUI, like everything else, was stolen from someone else. Apple and Microsoft both got big by stealing ideas.

Is it really stealing if you pay for it?
Xerox PARC had lots of great ideas, and then just never really commercialized any of them.

Woz had great ideas he never would have commercialized without Jobs either, no doubt that that was what he brought to the table: a pricetag.
