1995:Bill Gates predicts Apple's product line and the Nest thermostat
- dragonbonheur 14y agoLook carefully and you'll see where the ideas for the iPhone, the iPad, the iMac, AppleTV really came from.
- pedalpete 14y agoBut were these ideas really revolutionary at the time? Even less so now. I think we always knew that we would have touch devices. We saw them all over star-trek. We knew that we would get TV and movies on demand over the internet, we had it in hotels, but public infrastructure wasn't ready. Why is the iMac in your list?
- dragonbonheur 14y agoWell, some guys from Cupertino really think they thought about everything :) For the iMac design, see the computer at 0:16:00.

- dragonbonheur 14y agoPeople should not believe that those who execute ideas necessarily own them exclusively. There can and should be other devices with almost identical form factors without people saying "Oh, they imitated Apple". The truth should be known. The Cupertino guys aren't the navel of the universe.
