" Good Artists copy, Great Artists Steal ! "
Steve jobs references a quote from Picasso and states' " Good artists copy, great artists steal. And We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas."
But I first listened this phrase in a movie pirates of silicon valley. Both Steve jobs and Bill gates used this phrase in this movie. Jobs used it when he and his team planning to steal the idea of mouse from xerox while Bill used it at the end of the movie when he had some arguments with Steve. Rich neighbor with open doors It is claimed again and again that in the course of the Macintosh's development ,Apple just restored to the ideas the research laboratory xerox PARC had hatched before fact or fiction?
The myth entwines about a late 1979 visit to Xerox PARC by a group of apple engineers and executive led by Steve Jobs, Alex Soojerg- parg ; author of " Making the Macintosh". The same situation is also shown in this movie. This team of Steve easily stole the idea of mouse from xerox .
So, it's just ironic though, that these two big companies hate piracy and yet, in the movie it depicted how the two giants Apple and Microsoft benefited from " pirating ideas from others. thus , The movie "Pirates". But Steve jobs genuinely cared about creating products that changed the world. Now Apple is billion dollar company and it is expected that it would be worth of 1 trillion dollar after 12months. But it is interesting to know that the company which was started from garage, at the same time when IBM was too big company but now condition fully changed. This is a live proof that Everything is possible and everything is changeable.
I want to add some words of Bill from the movie "pirates of silicon valley". Here it is
......You know how you survive?
You make people need you. You survive because you make them need what you have.
And then they have no where else to go.....
Now one pirate to another pirates.
Microsoft:
" We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we we can do something about it. we have decided to do something about it we think competition is healthy, but competitors should create there own original technology, not steal ours" is this a joke?
Have a great time! See you next time with new inspirational blogs.
