Day 11

1. When Steve Jobs quoted Picasso I believe that he meant artists who are great pay attention to every detail and competitor around them and from there steal the ideas that are successful and make it there own but disguise it. Stealing is an art form in itself. Copying something that anyone who has been shown the product can do. Also copying means to take what you see and make a product exactly like it. Also when stealing the person you take from doesn't always realize it has happened. In this case it is difficult to say who stole and who copied because the one who showed more promise and a more updated computer did not succeed.

2. Apple Computers Inc suited Microsoft Corporations battled in a copyright infringement lawsuit which lasted over 4 years. Apple believed that Microsoft should not be able to use GUI (graphical user interface) which were very similar applications that they had on one of their computers (The Lisa). Apple did not get the success they were hoping for because the courts said that they were using un licensed GUIs that had already been developed by Xerox.

3. In this case I think that it is difficult to say who stole and who copied because the one who showed more promise and a more updated computer did not succeed. However, since Jobs is the one who made the statement it is easy to believe that he meant it that Apple is the one who steals and IBM are the ones who copy. I am just taking a guess considering the way he spoke about competitors.
4. Didn't get a chance to finish...
