Medley: Misattribution – Noted for the Record, on how a quote Eric Schmidt is reported as having attributed to Steve Jobs is really an Elizabeth Stone quote.
A number of people have compared Steve Jobs to Edison. If getting credit for things he didn't do but just popularized is what Steve will be remembered for, then, yeah: Sounds like Edison to me.

At least Jobs didn't insist Microsoft Windows be used to run gas chambers or somesuch to demonstrate the danger of Windows vs. MacOS... Possibly because he didn't have to.
FYI: The Wikipedia article on the Electric Chair is surprisingly bad. Haven't seen that bad of an article in a while.

Yeah - I was going to fold into my post a joke about Jobs' pattern of appropriating great ideas.. but decided it was too trite ;-)
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
