but it looks like he copied & pasted a lot of elements from other websites into his design he was using them as inspiration, i don't think he actually copied any ui elements (unsure about where he got the photographs, but it's common practice to pay a royalty fee or use free if it's not required). as an example, many good designers will look at apple's design elements in mac os x or iphone os. you'll hear steve jobs got a lot of his inspiration from other sources too. that's how design works; you'll take something that's good right now and you make it better. "The inspiration for the type of plastic case (a first for computers) for the Apple II came from Jobs seeing a Cuisinart food processor in the kitchen section of Macy’s. Additionally, Jobs showed up at a design meeting for the Quicktime software product with a brochure from Hewlett-Packard with the H-P logo in a brushed metal. The brushed metal ended up being adopted in across much of Apple’s software and some high-end hardware including the Safari Web browser and iCal calendar."
