content: OSX was based on a BSD distro. Linus made his own UNIX style system. The people who own UNIX are patent trolls. Apple bought Steve Jobs’ port of BSD which was rather ok but rather more like an older gnome style design. Steve also came back as part of that agreement. After returning he skinned it with the iconic OSX design. Apple did have an early port of UNIX called AIX which is probably inspired Jobs to create his OS. Google bought Android. They did make it into what it is today. Google’s what’s his name was also sitting on Apple’s Board at the time. I still think in my opinion that Jobs’ friendship with Bono of U2 is what lead to Apple creating an iPod. There were oodles of crappy MP3 players on the market.
