That's the strength of Steve Jobs (apple), which is a very respectable skill to have.
But to come back on the Pixar comment, Ed Catmull IS some1 that made huge technological advancements.

RIP one of the best business men in modern time (for better and worse).
The analogy I think of when thinking about Steve is that he was the Blizzard of technology (to put in terms people might understand). He didn't really create anything new, but he would take other peoples ideas and expand upon and improve them. On top of that he could sell it and artificially increase it's value like nobody else. That takes talent.

Technological advancements doesn't neccesarily be something completely new.

"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Steve Jobs whas a genius. He understood good techonology alone doesnt sell without great marketing. In fact, Steve Jobs pointed out you can make mediocre crap and still be seen as a messiah.

R.I.P. Steve Jobbs
I think that all the Iphone, Imac or ipad business scheme talk does not belong here. A familiy man died, a visionary man died. It's time to show some humility folks. He got 8 billion dollars but even that could not save him from death, thats what death is, death makes us all equal in one way. So don't annoy us with your criticism about his ex company, go open a new thread if you got the urge to trashtalk.

Its amazing how in the past decennia the appreciation for people who make things has shifted to the glorification of people who sell things.

Unusable technological advancements are useless. Design is the most important and neglected aspect of advancement and one that is missing in almost every other technology company. That's the genius of Steve Jobs.

i find it naive to think jobs invented i-pad/phone/pod. he sure had his influences as apple boss, but many people make him look like some sort of thomas edison. even in apple's earliest days it was steve wozniak who was inventive. jobs was always the marketing person, and there he sure was some kind of genius. furthermore he was also able to see the potential of certain technology and didn't hesitate to invest into it. but i would be careful to go any further.
/edit what? my birthday is tomorrow ^^
