>they've just heard the lie that Apple stole the GUI from Xerox (impossible since there was no GUI at Xerox at the time, in fact)
The Apple haters also seem to uploading fake videos of a old Xerox GUI on Youtube! /sarcasm

> Both Apple and Google release the operating system as open source, and both Apple and Google keep as closed source the application layer where their proprietary apps live. For Apple, that's the UI, for google that's the Google Apps
Sorry, Google Apps is not an application layer, however you wish it would be.
- myspy 15y agoThey had no real GUI in the 70ies, it was a terminal with mouse control. The GUI comes at the end of the 70ies, beginning 80ies and the guys from Apple came over, at that time, to see the concepts and prototyps. From there, they started their own GUI metaphor. I like the part in the video, when the guy inserts this big magnetic storage :D As for Apple, the kernel is open source, but the whole Cocoa layer is closed. As for Android everything must be open, apart from the Google applications. Or not?
