“Steve Jobs is a legendary orator with a conversational but magnetic style that is so impressive that books have been written about how to emulate his style,” Matthew Panzarino reports for TNW.
“Recently, the Ukrainian Secretary of National Security and Defense, Raisa Bogatyreva, decided that she loved Steve Jobs’ speech to Stanford in 2005 so much that she would just copy it outright, reports Focus Ukraine,” Panzarino reports. “The apparent plaigarism was outed by the site Ukranian Truth, which has published a set of excerpts from both Jobs’ speech and Bogatyreva’s.”

Panzarino reports, “We spoke to a translator, Alexander Mankuta, who verified that the speech did in fact bear an uncanny resemblance to the Apple CEO’s. Enough to make it completely obvoius that it was a duplicate.”

MacDailyNews Take: Raisa, you’re from the Ukraine, not Taiwan, South Korea, or Redmond.

Ukraine, it still a Russia’s puppy.
The Russian occupation continues.
So much for “occupation” considering Russia’s roots are in the current Ukrainian territory. ;))
..and all goes to hell in a bread basket!
I didn’t know Steve could speak Ukranian!
I don’t see the harm. Like quoting Buddha, Jesus, etc.
Are you comparing steve jobs to jesus thats rediculious.
Steve’s miracles are real, Jesus’s were invented.
Hah…you are so right!
(Did I tell you I can fly and see through wall too)
Steve used his life to invent
Jesus invented life.
Incomparable
Christians invented Jesus.
there was no life before Jesus? Hey, dude! You missed.the Rapture!
You can’t possibly serious, can you? Jesus is just as invented as the rest of religious history. Oh wait, the world is only 2011 years old.
No dude, you got it all wrong. The Old Testament Period before the Coming of Our Lord and Salvation Jesus Christ lasted 4000 years. So the world is in FACT 6011 years old.
[I’m joking, of course]
Disciple, not only were Jesus’ miracles invented, they were invented centuries earlier for other man/gods: Attis, Mithras, Osiris, Tammuz, etc, etc., then in another case of plagiarism, attached to the biography of Jesus.
I know you won’t believe it, but, you may want to consider the Bible says each of us is going to have to give an account of every word we say.
Are you saying the mute are condemned to hell at birth??Yahweh sure is a mean old bastard. What about all those poor tourettes sufferers.
If there is a hell, I’ll see you there 🙂
Steve is real. Jesus was invented!
When you don’t use any punkedyouayshun, can’t spell and have a runon sentence it tends to soften your argument a teeny bit
Sheesh! All I gotta do is bring up religion or politics and everybody’s underwear gets in a bunch.
She didn’t quote Jobs. She presented the words as her own.
Big difference between an attributable quote and outright plagiarism.
…or Mountain View, CA.
What, she had pancreatic cancer?
I think if anything that should be taken as a compliment. I mean who plagiarizes Ballmer’s “Developers, Developers, Developers!!!!!!!” speech?
Nobody, but I break out his dance moves at parties and am quickly escorted to the front door.
rofl, now THAT is funny
LoL!!!! Oh gosh… my ribs hurts so much for laughing!
Apple may be eligible for “Most Photocopied In Universe” award.
LINK IS WRONG
It’s no longer the missing link.
If I were Ukrainian I’d plagiarize Seinfeld instead…”You know what the Ukraine is? It’s a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It’s feeble. I think it’s time to put the hurt on the Ukraine.”
You don’t know shite
Ukrainian…?? Ya right.
Read: Secretary of National Security and Defense
Read: Bogatyreva
F%*@$*g Russian puppet.
NOT UKRAINIAN….!!!!!
Many Eastern Ukrainians have Russian-like second names. Ukraine is no less their country than of anyone with second name that ends with “-ko” or “uk”.
I think steve is Adam. He is the one who took the bite out the apple and originated the sin of free thinking. Eat. Yum. Oh my god, we run by a bunch of fascists pretending theyre running a democracy.
Ukraine
not “The” Ukraine
“…Steve Jobs is a legendary orator…”
We all love Jobs and are Apple fans. Jobs is a great
speaker,communicator,and salesman. A “legendary
orator”? Don’t think so. Abe Lincoln,George Washington,
Winston Churchill,Martin Luther King Jr.,Mahatma Gandhi,
Theodore Roosevelt,Demosthenes,William Jennings Bryan
were all legendary orators in my view.
MDN: Don’t forget the ultimate ripoff regime, CHINA.
Raisa Bogatyreva: You’re just another LAZY POLITITIAN. But at least you know how to ripoff the best. 😛
Correction: politician
Well, Steve has been quoted as saying, “…great artists steal.”. And she didn’t steal some rubbish.
The Stanford gradulation speach ,it’s one of his best talks, and if it gets spread more widely as a result, that’s a benefit to all those who would have otherwise not even heard of it.
