I agree completely, however Apple's innovation came from an advertising/PR perspective, making everything they made seem like it was something new and innovative and Steve Jobs was basically the image of Apple. I'd be surprised if share prices don't drop even if his involvement right now was very low. | ||

He grows up an adopted child. Drops out of Reed College. Goes to India, becomes a Buddhist, get into psychedelic drugs. Starts up a computer company in his garage, leads it to glory, gets ousted in his prime by corporate underlings. Starts a new company and leads it to success. Is taken back by a floundering Apple. Somewhere in there he buys Pixar for $10 million, turns it into a movie animation company, and then sells it for billions. Leads apple back from the dead and all the way to the largest market cap company on the planet, this time in a new arena with various portable devices and not desktop computers. Works through failing health for 7 years, seemingly as productive as ever. I was going to say that it was his unique personality among the tech community that made me think of him in a seperate category. I think his life and personality was just unique among like...humans.

I just hope he donated half his money to cancer research so maybe he can actually do something important for the world. When i think about it all he did was lead a company that advanced technology so that my boss could bother me while im on vacation. Personally i believe the people that invented the light bulb, electricity, indoor plumbing and even toilet paper have had a more important impact on humanity. | ||
