Oh, hello! A trip to the YouTube wayback machine shows that 1996's Steve "Great Artists Steal" Jobs might have taken issue with 2010 Steve Jobs (http://gizmodo.com/tag/stevejobs/), and his patent lawsuit firebombing (http://gizmodo.com/5483632/apple-sues-htc-for-infringing-on-20-iphone-patents-the-complete-documents?skyline=true&s=i) of HTC. Irony!
The comment was made during a 1996 PBS documentary called "Triumph of the Nerds (http://www.pbs.org/nerds/tvdes.html)," and looks a smidge hypocritical in light of today's events. As does this one: "We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas." Goodness. If that's true, then lawyering up against innovative competitors must be the one of the best ideas you ever heard. [
