Suing Samsung was Jobs' legacy. He was planning to do it himself if he lived long enough. He was incredibly petty, especially for an intellectual property thief.

What notable IP did Jobs steal? You don't mean the Xerox PARC stuff, I hope.

As everyone around here likes to quote endlessly: You can't patent an idea. What notable intellectual property did Jobs the "thief" steal?

Same goes for the Samsung lawsuit. What notable intellectual property did Samsung the "thief" steal?

I don't know what Apple stole/didn't steal. But do you remember what the number 1 selling phone was before the iPhone? According to Wikipedia it was a Nokia 1200. I had a Motorola Razr.

Jobs and Apple were a decade ahead of their competition.
