No mention of the shoulders that Apple products stand upon.

That was actually just the entire message. To cherry-pick a few:

> I speak a language I did not invent or refine.

> I did not discover the mathematics I use.

> I did not invent the transistor, the microprocessor, object oriented programming, or most of the technology I work with.

> I love and admire my species, living and dead, and am totally dependent on them for my life and well being.

Apart from all of the message, yes, no mention of it at all.
I was thinking more of things like the "windows, icons, menus, pointer" that Apple tried to sue Microsoft for.
> or most of the technology I work with.

No mention of it at all.
