Steve Jobs Shocker: Bill Gates Should Have Dropped Acid

Bill Gates Trip

Steve Jobs believed the "unimaginative" Bill Gates should have dropped acid when he was younger.

Steve Jobs called long-time rival and Microsoft Corp co-founder Bill Gates as "unimaginative" and not really a product person, according to a biography of the deceased Apple Inc chief executive.

"Bill is basically unimaginative and has never invented anything, which is why I think he's more comfortable now in philanthropy than technology," Jobs told author Walter Isaacson. "He just shamelessly ripped off other people's ideas."

"He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger," Jobs added.

And you did what, exactly, Mr. Jobs?
 
It's funny, Steve Jobs claiming Bill Gates simply ripped off other people's ideas.


Their meeting was in Jobs's conference room, where Gates found himself surrounded by ten Apple employees who were eager to watch their boss assail him. Jobs didn't disappoint his troops. "You're ripping us off!" he shouted. "I trusted you, and now you're stealing from us!" Gates just sat there coolly, looking Steve in the eye, before hurling back, in his squeaky voice, what became a classic zinger. "Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."

I'll get the book, just cause I'm interested in the guy. I've never understand how people can be blind to something though. I love apple products, I just finished a total conversion of everything that could be an apple product, mac, mac mini, iphone, ipad. But I would have to be ignorant to think that Steve Jobs was this great innovator who created all of it.

He did a hell of a job gathering great ideas and making them work together better than anyone else could. I think it's best to say that he could refine, produce and market an idea better than anyone, period. No harm in that, most others can't. It doesn't make him any less great. You just have to recognize him for what he was.

Just literally. Jobs was born eight months before Gates, wait until June. 😛

But yeah, slander abound. It's getting really old to hear that everything is copying Apple products from a basic concept. "It's a GUI, it's copying Mac (but really Xerox)!!!eleven1!"
 
From what i've seen the two companies really didn't invent everything themselves.

Apple and Microsoft both stole ideas, it is just how they work.
 
wasn't he himself a hippie, went to India a did hippie stuff and chanted hare Krishna and shit...

Moron might have been imaginative but sure did not support imagination all his b1tches were locked down so that you couldn't do jack sh1t with them.. Imaginative person who make stuff for dumb people to stay dumb. Gates on the other hand gave us a platform that had a perfect balance of security plus program ability. And PLEASE, do not start a discussion about monopoly, Steve was a the GOD of monopoly.

Yeah, I agree with Jobs. Philanthropy is only for the unwashed masses with no imagination.

In the end though I still think we know who got the last laugh.
