- crpatino 12y agoIf by "improve" he means creating a mediocre clone of an existing and successful product, leveraging a monopolistic position to wreck the original, and then go through a long process of incremental improvement on the clone until it is objectively better that what was available 20 years ago (and selling every milestone along the way)... then I guess he's more or less right.
