Mr Jobs told author Walter Isaacson that he viewed Android's similarity to iOS as "grand theft". This would be the same Steve Jobs who said something to the effect of "We [Apple] have never been ashamed to steal a great idea" or something along those lines? Didn't Jobs get the idea for the mouse from some government or military computer system he saw, among other things?
At least now his liberalism begins to make sense - he was a hyprocrite, like all liberals.

Didn't Jobs get the idea for the mouse from some government or military computer system he saw, among other Apple licensed the mouse from the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), whose Dr. Douglas Englelbart is the inventor, paying for an unlimited license. Apple did not steal it. They then patented their one button design among others.
