Xerox PARC: The reality of tomorrow, yesterday!

They also invented the mouse and original Mac interface. And they haven't cashed in on anyone.

Douglas Engelbart invented the mouse -- not Xerox.

And while Xerox PARC originated a lot of the modern windowed/wysiwyg/menued GUI, to say they 'invented' something as specific as 'the original Mac interface' is also misleading.
