lupus yonderboy a dit:Après tout, si les labos de Xerox était ouvert aux ingés d'Apple, pourquoi ceux d'autres boîtes n'y aurait pas trouvé l'inspiration ?
Parce qu'à l'inverse de Jef Raskin la plupart des gens ignoraient les technologies développées au PARC (même si elles ne sont pas forcément toutes nées au PARC, la souris a été inventée bien avant, etc). Même Apple, avant que Raskin arrive à trainer Steve Jobs chez Xerox.
« Raskin says he tried convincing Jobs to go see the wonderful stuff at Xerox PARC, but in his binary way of viewing the world at the time, Jobs considered Raskin a “shithead who could do no good,” so he ignored Raskin’s recommendation. However, Raskin had an ally in software engineer Bill Atkinson, who had been his student at the University of California at San Diego and now worked on LisaGraf primitives, the basic graphics routines of the Lisa (ultimately these would be named QuickDraw, a term Raskin coined in his 1967 Penn State thesis). In Jobs’ eyes, Atkinson was a hero who could do no wrong, so when Atkinson pushed Jobs to visit Xerox PARC, Jobs readily agreed. » (Apple Confidential, Owen Linzmayer)
