How Could Xerox Have Blown It?

Cited at Lakeshore from the WSJ:

...But full credit goes to the com­pany where Mr. Tay­lor worked after leav­ing ARPA: Xerox. It was at the Xerox PARC labs in Sil­i­con Val­ley in the 1970s that the Eth­er­net was devel­oped to link dif­fer­ent com­puter net­works. Researchers there also devel­oped the first per­sonal com­puter (the Xerox Alto) and the graph­i­cal user inter­face that still dri­ves com­puter usage today.

And Xerox was twice near-dead after they INVENTED this stuff.

    According to your link, the government is "seizing power" that it already had.

    And according to the comments section, Lakeshore, Dad29's boy, has been exposed for perpetuating a misconception. Good work!
