Apple Clearly Has a Short Memory

In his article, "Apple's Lawsuit Sent a Message to Google (Rich Karlgaard: Apple's Lawsuit Sent a Message to Google - WSJ.com:) Mr. Karlgaard argues, appropriately, I believe, that Apple's lawsuit against Samsung was, in truth, a proxy fight between Apple and Google. Curious that in touting its victory against Samsung that Apple ignores its own history. As Karlgaard notes, following Jobs' visit to Xerox' Palo Alto Research Center in 1979 he developed a machine and operating system that drew heavily on the Xerox model...windows, mouse...and the rest, as they say, is history. Point is that the way technology companies were able to advance their concepts and push what has become a revolution in technology was by sharing information and design and improving upon both. That's how Apple got the point we find it today; this is how Samsung has been able to achieve the results which led Apple to file suit.
