Jonathan “Jony” Ive Vice President of Industrial Design.
For the official article click here.
Jonathan Ive was one of Steve Jobs's best friends. Ive is the vice president of industrial design and is clamming that Steve Jobs stole some of his ideas. Ive and Jobs were very good friends and colleague. They often ate lunch together and helped the design department with new ideas. Many of the ideas that Ive created were published by steve. Ive is very upset about his friends death an plans to carry on his position if possible. Some reports on Steve say that he stole peoples ideas and not just Ive's which is unusual for a smart person that developed a million dollar company. Ive was one of the victims and is now also going to let out all of his original ideas out into the world and see how it goes. “Steve would be proud if I took his position” said Jonathan in an interview after steve died.

Wait they were friends even though he stole his ideas, or they were friends and then he stole his ideas and then they weren't?

I like this post except it doesn't seem like you actually grasped the issue. It was not that Steve "Stole" Jonathan Ive's ideas but that Steve Jobs took credit for them. Now This is actually to be expected considering that Steve was the public face of Apple. Ive felt that he just didn't get as much credit as he would have liked. Just to let you know, you might want to proof read your article a couple more times in the future because there are several fragments as well as "steve" and other names not always being capitalized. Also some of your facts are wrong, Apple is over a Billion dollar company. In fact they have over 79 billion in cash reserves. Also it seems as though you just used the one article to research it which will of course provide a very biased view.
ReplyDeleteIdeas cannot be copyrighted and don't have to be credited. So claiming someone "stole your idea" is silly. Don't be silly, Mr. Ive.
ReplyDeleteI really think that if this guy wanted to keep his ideas for his own use, he should not be so public about them.
