Whether you take the following claims seriously or just shrug it off as nonsense is totally up to you, but a U.S politician just said in a statement that it wasn't Steve Jobs who invented the iPhone. Umm, what? As odd as it may sound, House Minority leader district California, Nancy Pelosi made a public statement at the Democratic National Convention Platform in Washington claiming it was never the visionary Jobs or the Apple team who came up with the iPhone, but the federal government!

"Anybody here have a smartphone?"

That's what Pelosi asked the audience. Holding up her iPhone, she said, "In this smartphone, almost everything came from federal investments in research.” Pelosi, according to Free Beacon also went on to point out the government's contribution to research that resulted in making iPhone's various components and functionalities. “The list goes on and on. If you want to learn more, look at the Association for the Advancement of Science in America, and they have the full list,” Pelosi said. “They say Steve Jobs did a good idea designing it and putting it together. Federal research invented it,” she added.
