| The real tribute... |

...is their ongoing lawsuits against Samsung and the rest of the Android cell phone industry. Suing over ideas that, according to Jobs himself decades ago, were meant to be "stolen" by any "great artist." Yeah. He shamelessly stole ideas. And then just before he died he started shamelessly suing everyone else for commiting the same sin that he once believed in. And now, the real tribute seems to be the fact that Apple is continuing his legacy, exactly as he left off. He died sue-happy; the company progressively gets even more sue-happy.

What Steve meant by this quote was already explained in 1999, probably earlier too. This is way before the Apple haters started focussing solely on the word "stealing". So you don't only call Steve/Apple a thief, but also Pablo Picasso. It beats me why you would link a tribute video about someone you call a thief and a company you hate. |

Everybody is a thief, especially in the technology industry. Apple fans find that a bad thing (except when it comes to Apple, of course, when it's no longer stealing but "inspiration" or "doing it right"), while most others don't. Edited 2012-10-05 13:11 UTC |

| And what did he mean by 'We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas'? |

| No, it's something you made up (in a rather generalizing way) about Apple fans and then ridicule them for it. |

A computer, the GUI, media player, phone, tablet. Nothing Apple invented, but ideas they took and put their own spin on it. They don't copy, like for example Samsung, but they use an existing idea as a basis and then create something in their own vision. When you copy you create something that's the same, when you steal, which isn't meant in a literal sense, you make it your own. This is was Pablo Picasso meant and what Steve Jobs was referring too. People who hate Apple/Steve, like Thom, only focus on the world "steal", because nobody likes thieves and claim this as proof that Apple copies others, but they ignore the fact that the word "copy" was already used earlier in the quote. |

So, to summarise your post: Apple builds on others != stealing. Others build on Apple = stealing. |

No: Apple, and probably a number others too, take existing ideas and create products the way they think they should be done. Most, like Samsung, create me-too products. Less risky, but also more boring. Edited 2012-10-05 13:49 UTC |
