As for Bill Gates and Steve Jobs; they both got their big break by visiting the Xerox campus. Some say they ‘stole’ the ideas for the mouse and GUI from the staff, though truthfully it was a bit more complicated than that. Apparently the higher-ups at Xerox couldn’t give a shit about these great innovations, and really just focused on their copiers. Plus, it was pretty much an open secret that the staff wanted to show off their ideas that would never get traction in their own company. So Gates and Jobs were smart enough to recognize a good thing when they saw it; unlike the executives.
