Yeah, I know... I was try to say it like this:

Who do you think invented the mouse?! Hmm... wait, whoops! Not Apple, but then who do you think invented the GUI? Oh, crap, thats right, they stole that too. Well then, who do you think invented cell phones?

I could've wrote it better, but I thought it was obvious that it was meant in jest. I mean, you don't think I think Apple invented cell phones do you?  ;)

ahofle:
Sorry I missed your jest.  I have just seen tons of misinformation like that in the news lately though. "Steve Jobs, founder of the mouse and graphical user interface died today..."  I think it's a good guess that most people do think they invented the mouse/GUI.

He was the one to steal the GUI and mouse, and as they say: "History is written by the conquerors"

I'm pretty sure apple its one of the best company's out there Right now, and pretty sure it had to be thanks to Mr Job's...However, one of the best music players i had was a Sony brand,then i had the mini disk which was great, then an mp3 compact disk player made by Cobby, then a regular cheap mp3 player that required no itunes.I use to rip mu Cd's for that which was nice, no drm or other crap issues.About cell phones, i always use cheap 5 dlls phones, as i always seem to have bad luck with fancy phones, i always end up braking or loosing the phone, plus all i need in a phone is ,calls and text...no more, but i do have to admit that the iphone is one of the best phones out there ever.But android phones are looking nice and i believer they are following the iphone steps and are getting near to the same success.As tablets, i don't have one, (i wish i had one) as the are to expensive for me.But the other day i tried one of my friends ipad 2, and i have to admit, i didn't like them.Why? because they are like an phone but 3 or 4 times bigger.Ill rather have a decent laptop.One down side of the apple products for me is, tat most popular software its windows based, sure there are lots of compatible software but theres always a hustle to look for it. But after all this nonce ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- i just wrote i have to say:
"Life has lots of choices, being stuck as fan boy for brand for me its just stupid, you have to try lots of stuff, some you might like and some you wont but we have to admit that competition its what makes some company's make great products." so stop saying apple its the king of the world and that everything Else sucks, Cu's that's totally a lie.

Actually the mouse was invented well before PARC see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_(computing)

The precursors to the GUI were also not developed by PARC but you could say PARC did invent it as we know it today.
