Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
After hearing of the pioneering GUI technology being developed at Xerox PARC, Jobs had negotiated a visit to see the Xerox Alto computer and Smalltalk development tools in exchange for Apple stock options. The Lisa and Macintosh user interfaces were partially influenced by technology seen at Xerox PARC and were combined with the Macintosh group's own ideas.
Ahem.. They didn't steal. Xerox was just idiotic back then.


And thinking Apple stole based on the screen size is a major stretch. The blog link posted by the OP is completely random. Not worth anything.
