Apple IS in fact a gui built on BSD unix.

Er, are you QUITE sure about that? BSD has a poor rep for running on
mobile devices; doesn't seem like a suitable foundation for such an OS
where reliability and ease of use are key to the Apple market.

I'm f*cking speechless, Huge. I thought Jobs had masterminded his own
unique OS for the Ipad and whatnot from scratch! Never would have
believed BSD underlied it in a million years. SMFH in disbelief!

IIUC OS X is based on the work done at NeXT while jobs was out of the
apple frame.
