Steve Jobs didn’t just waltz into Xerox PARC and steal a glimpse at the Alto. That visit was heavily lawyered and PARC got Apple shares as compensation. To summarize this as “stealing” is just incorrect. Lazy work.

Except Apple recruited GUI engineers from PARC to work on the Lisa and Macintosh itself. I don't think you can steal any better than that.
