    There are KZread videos showing that Apple Lisa was not a copy paste product of Xerox , but a massive and evolionary leap . Steve Jobs saw xerox product and told his team to make the new OS and tools . He called upon Bill gates for Word processor . On the other hand Microsoft was a copy paste product of Mac OS .

    Exactly they were too blind to what they had, they could not see the potential of their products: 1. GUI made computing faster, easier and more reliable by at least a factor of 100x 2. Networking made it easier and faster to share information! 3. Need I even mention OOP the grandfather of modern programing languages like C++ & Python? They essentially created the modern internet nearly 2 decades earlier than the US Military imagine what the world would be like today? It boggles the mind!

    I joined Xerox in 1985, after graduating from Syracuse with a BS in accounting - worked for 4 yrs, doing the management accounting for the Palo Alto Research Center (aka PARC) and the Leesburg VA management development campus, whilst based in both their Rochester NY Xerox Tower location and the Xerox HQ, located on long ridge road in Stamford CT. I recall using homegrown spreadsheet software on a desktop STAR workstation - it had a GUI interface with an optical mouse, networked initially on token-ring, then with ethernet networking - it was so friggen cool to work up a spreadsheet and then print it, in color, to a network-connected multi-purpose printer/copier/fax device! This was how Xerox tested their technologies - by piloting them on their internal workforce

    I worked for Xerox in Dublin, Ireland for over six years. I enjoyed my time there but again there was a lot of potential innovation that was stifled. I worked in tech support and a five part training programme had been designed that would have made their support people industry leaders and a lot of us were looking forward to the training. In the end, the training costs were deemed too high and the programme was axed. It would have been a case of spend the money now and reap much bigger rewards later on but it was scrapped anyway. In relation to the GUI, I remember talking with some people from the IT department where I now work in local government. They were complaining that computers are too simple nowadays and reckoned typing in commands to do even the simplest thing should never have been done away with as it would mean that only people properly au fait with computing would use them. Basically, it was tech snobbery on display. I asked them to imagine two computers were offered for sale and both could do exactly the same things. However, one would only do them by commands being typed in while the other machine used icons that a user could point a mouse at and click once to achieve the same thing. I asked them which one did they think would sell more - the lack of response said everything.

    My Father was a Computer Department manager. He visited Xerox with a group of similar people in his company. This was before Apple & Microsoft & IBM’s PC based computers really took off. He was stunned by the future of the GUI. I had no idea what he was talking about at the time but I do remember him saying how much he felt it was going to change things. I could not understand his enthusiasm for the GUI He passed away about 20 years ago but his predictions about the future were spot on. He said that the computer would be capable of doing things we could never imagine . He was so right. He was no real genius just a very smart guy who could see what was possible with the gui & a good communications infrastructure.I took me years to understand why he was so excited about that visit.

    I was born in 1975, so I grew up around the tech explosion of computers in the 80's and 90's. What many people don't understand is that, prior to the GUI, computers were only used by techies at special careers where complex computer calculations were required. And using a computer was a matter of writing a code at a prompt. Something only a techie could do, with formal computer training or, at least, a 'nerdy' tech interest to be self-taught. The GUI meant that ANYONE could use a computer. You didn't need to know codes to type in to serve specific functions. Jobs and Gates realized the potential for computers to be everywhere in every day lives of people...whether in business or personal. Whether for business or personal...computers simply needed a GUI in order for ordinary people to use them without specialized training and experience!

    Worked at Xerox PARC for a few years in internal tech support, even got to see the Alto, the first personal computer. Xerox PARC certainly created the first GUI, and Xerox management didn‘t recognize researcher efforts, but the GUI’s that I saw were not fit for business use. They were made by engineers who assumed everyone wanted complexity, not usability. Mice, for example, had *three* buttons, and they were not used as they are today. You had to *memorize* different combinations of buttons for *each* application, rather than the “left button = point” “right button = menu” interface we have today. We also had context-sensitive soft keys, which, again, required hefty amounts of memorization of knowing what context you had to set up to make a certain command appear. GUIs had a long way to go. Xerox PARC created the concept of the GUI, but Jobs made the GUI *usable*.

    My uncle (RIP 2003) was part of the original PARC group. They were more than computer scientists. They didn’t create the mouse (that was Douglas Englebart and his team at SRI). And you are oversimplifying Xerox management’s attitude toward their work. (They did commercialize products based on the Alto, the Star.) For those really interested in the details, there’s a great book about it by Hiktzik.

Lots of time went into Xerox's team's idea of a GUI, including Psychology, and this idea required thousands of combined hours of "hard work and perspiration" to become workable enough to appeal to the public.

    You have to wonder why they'd shelve such data! Years ago I was reading up on specifically the MICROCHIP... after 250 pages of reading, I stopped... the 10's of thousands of different process'/manufacturing etc. to produce a single Microchip was mind-boggling... made me wonder... who conceptualized all theses process' coming together in fruition.... apparently it's a toss up between 4 different sets of people.... hhhhhmmmm.... I think, something else is going on, and isn't being discussed... Like, why would XEROX shelve such information, waiting for the new young breed to come in and take it from there.... hhhmmmmm.... doesn't add up MIKE! Something else seems to be going on COVERT, that isn't discussed in the Media, or at the scholastic either... What do you think Mike? Have you done any research? Does it make sense to you? You're taught in school you evolved from Apes with an accidental chromosome fusion at 2/3... and the people were going around in horse and carriages not to long ago... Then, magically someone(s) figured out how to put together 10, 000's of manufacturing process' to produce a MICROCHIP? Just the MICROCHIP, Mike. There's not ONE source for the MICROCHIP.... don't you find that ODD? Just a bunch of people(s) claiming they were the first.... Wernher Von Braun was asked why the Germans were so advanced technology-wise... and he stated, "WE WERE HELPED"! Or, so claimed! I've got a degree from University, and am older... and no longer believe much of what I was taught in school... The evidence empericially, and through life experience has taught me something else is going on MIKE (and like a game-show isn't being discussed)! Sad Truth is Mike, everybody in the game LIES till they DIE, or disappear (must be a hanging going on - eh)! ARE YOU A FAKE AS WELL?

    1 - The machine that was demonstrated to Steve at PARC was called the Professional Work Station, more robust than the Alto. 2- The Lisa Project at Apple only began after Steve hired the PWS team. The Lisa was quickly released while they were worked on a mass market machine to be called Macintosh. 3 - I tried to buy 500 PWS machines from the Xerox VP of Product Development who said, "Look, we're a copy machine company, only sell copiers and don't give a damn what those academics at PARC are doing." 4 - Gates didn't hire PARC guys in that era and always tried to copy the Bell Labs/PARC/Apple GUI development stream, never getting it right.

    My understanding was that it was in the early 1970s that Xerox PARC devolped Smalltalk with the WIMP GUI and Object Oriented Programming (OOPS) Class inheritance environment to be able to rapidly develop and experiment with photocopy interfaces. They also released the Xerox 1186, around 1985 with a full WIMP interface based upon Interlisp-D for AI research using the OOPS and LISP as the underlying programming language.

    andreasl33 it's not 3D. You cut the subjects (some transparency/eraser tool), you clone image parts to fill the places where the subjects were (and he even blurred so he didn't even had to do a great cloning) and then you overlay both images and shrink one faster than the other. Or just move with different speeds. I know I'm making it look easy and it actually takes some time and there are other techniques to make it even faster (he could have just used a fake background... You don't know the original photo so you don't know what was actually behind, so why bother with all the cloning etc etc?) and I wouldn't be surprised that there was already some automatic tool to make this kind of "3D animation" but this is really all that is: just cut and make 2 layers move in different speeds. Videogames do it for decades. It's called parallax effect ;)

    Hmm. Not one mention of Douglas Engelbart and his invention of the mouse. Not one mention of the pioneering work he did at SRI with networking, hypertext, and GUIs. No mention of the Mother of All Demos Engelbart gave in 1968. This was a decent overview of Xerox's work, but leaves the impression that it all started with them, instead of them building on Engelbart's work, just as Apple built on theirs.
