Google's reaction to Apple's iPhone unveiling: 'We're going to have to start over' on Android

Google's reaction to Apple's iPhone unveiling: 'We're going to have to start over' on Android - "I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs told biographer Walter Isaacson. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."

It's just so unfortunate that Apple also is prone to "stealing" products from 3rd party developers. If "steal" is taken to mean: "Hey I like the design and general idea of this, I'm going to emulate it in one of my products."

And last, but not least, Alan Kay's Dynabook. I guess it's not stealing if it's not a business success. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/alan-kay-steve-jobs-ipad-iphone,10209.html
