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.

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