Bill English: Computer mouse co-creator dies at 91An interesting story and it wasn’t that long ago. It’s been a long time since I’ve read the story about Steve Jobs acquisition of the tech from Xerox, but I seem to remember that Steve offered Xerox shares of Apple as compensation as he feared a lawsuit. Am I close to being right?

Apple expresses interest in buying Tiktok

Apple expresses interest in buying Tiktok "Multiple sources tell me that Apple has expressed interest, albeit no sources inside of Apple, and that at least one other strategic has expressed interest. Yes, it would be an unusual deal for Apple, given that TikTok is a cross-platform app, and a bigger political headache than Tim Cook may want (both here and in China). But if anyone has the cash on hand...
I don't think Mr. Cook WANTS the grief. www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-pro-rata

Phil Schiller to step down and be replaced by deputy. It was a long and good career at Apple. Schiller has worked at Apple since 1987.

Am I close to being right? Some myths just never die. The IPO price was $22. Today that stock would be worth just south of $2.5B. Apple-PARC history. As the article points out, Apple didn't use a single line of code from the Xerox Alto.

BTW, a great interview with Steve from Triumph of the Nerds about what happened at PARC - and also predicting exactly what would happen to Microsoft (sales guys ran it into the ground):

From 1975 to 1985, I worked a company which then occupied the building at 3408 Hillview Ave in Palo Alto, Ca. There was a building next door, at the corner of Coyote Hill and Hillview, which was occurred by Xerox and I knew that the buildings that were on the other side of Coyote Hill, not completely visible from the road, were also owned by Xerox. At the time, I assumed that all the buildings contained Xerox employees who were working diligently on designing or marketing new copiers. Years later, when I was working for Lockheed Martin, I went to Xerox Parc with other employees who were taking a concentrated A.I. class and was embarrassed to learn that I had been working so close to such a historically important research center and I didn't have clue. During those 10 years, I purchased an Apple II Plus for myself and my two sons but the the technical advancements that would later dazzle us in the first Macintosh were still being designed and refined by Apple. As I've mentioned previously, when my wife and I were going to buy our first PC, my 17-year old son(now 50) convinced me to consider getting a Mac SE instead, and after seeing an SE demo by a friend who had one at work, I was sold on the idea. My wife was not convinced, however, so, since we worked at the same company, I suggested she humor me by viewing the same demo. She was equally impressed so we bought the Mac SE. Had we not bought that Mac SE, it's questionable whether we would have ever bought AAPL, even though we live less than 3 miles from the old Apple headquarters on Infinite Loop, 3.9 miles from Apple Park and .5 miles from Steve Job's family home where he and Steve Wozniak started Apple in 1976. Smart...lucky? I obviously think *very* lucky. BTW, many years ago, that son asked me if there was a percentage fee of our portfolio that should go to him for pointing us towards Apple. Sadly, there was not. 😊 Cheers to the AAPL Longs!!

Sadly, there was not. 😊 Cheers to the AAPL Longs! I started living in SF in 1974 so I knew all about Apple. I was investing but I just didn’t think of buying Apple. Around 1996 I met my wife who had a MacPlus. I became fascinated with it and I bought a 7500 Mac. I read all the Apple discussion forums on the internet and in 2000 was ready to go all in. It was all because my wife got me interested with her MacPlus. Last night we had an Apple $400 celebration dinner with our son and daughter. After thanking Steve Jobs and Tim Cook for our good fortune, I reminded my wife she was the reason I bought Apple

Thanks for the heads up. Got 2 10 cores i9s with spec’ed up GPU’s within 5 minutes of reading this post (When I woke up 20 hours ago). Replaces late 14 iMacs. 5.5 years is pretty good going.
