The Xerox Neighbor Retort

"You're ripping us off!", Steve shouted, raising his voice even higher. "I trusted you, and now you're stealing from us!" But Bill Gates just stood there coolly, looking Steve directly in the eye, before starting to speak in his squeaky voice. "Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."

This text-based meme imagines Bill Gates calmly responding to Steve Jobs accusing him of copying the Macintosh operating system. Gates compares both companies to thieves who stole ideas from Xerox, making the joke a sarcastic reaction to accusations of plagiarism and hypocrisy.
