And on switching power — did any other computer company think to use it? Apple did. And borrowing that tech did revolutionize computer power supplies.

Not only was it not stolen, several Xerox PARC people moved over to Apple since they wanted to see their ideas actually commercialized and not squandered like Xerox was doing, so a lot of it was even the same people!
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoRead the article. Many computer companies used them before apple. Apple's use didnt revolutionize anything according to the article, because it was already in common use before them. Did we read the same thing?
