If Android is a "stolen product," then so was the iPhone (ars technica)

Gotta love Edison and his craziness (yet still held up as the inventor everyone should aspire to be). He went out of his way to destroy Tesla, both professionally and personally such that Tesla had no choice but to sell his soul to Westinghouse (and end up penniless). Edison didn't want AC to succeed so badly he invented the electric chair and publicly electrocuted cats to try to stifle the adoption of AC distribution. Pretty much any field he got involved in he went out of his way to destroy the competition including personal attacks.

The similarity between Edison's actions and how Jobs approached things speaks volumes about how big of an asshole Jobs was and how destructive Jobs could be to markets and competition if given the chance.
