While they didn't invent them, they certainly did bring the Mouse and the Graphical User Interface into the mainstream.

As mentioned, Apple does get credit for the wrong things.  They didn't "invent" most things per-se, just took something and made it better (or mainstream).  That's not to say that they aren't innovative.  I mean, they didn't invent the portable music player, but there are innovative features on the iPod that put it atop a pedestal. 

Basically, they get credit for inventing things where the credit should be for their improvements to them.  They aren't soooo far from inventing the computer itself however, if you say "desktop computer".  Steve and Steve were like, let's get this shit in a box that fits on your desk.  It's basically symantics.

Anyhow.  I find plagiarism to work fantastically.
