Steve Jobs was the CEO of the decade for a reason. If the idiocy of Sculley and the board of Apple in the 80's had been averted, who knows where computing would have been by now. Jobs has literally altered four major verticals in computing and done it with none of the downside nonsense of Microsoft....a few missteps along the way, but the company is now capped bigger than GE and possibly GOOGLE.....factor in Pixar and this man has set the tone for literally everything digital in this era........whatever the tablet cost, it will be the harbinger of everything in the next decade.

It's easy to be dismissive, however, each new step on the road to removing controls and borders and barriers in communication of whatever kind, frees the world and eases the burden of change. Be thankful for Mr. Jobs.......he defeated cancer, he has enriched an entire generation, made education purposeful again....with podcasts, QuickTime and laptops that can be made to sing and dance....imagine if a man of his abilities ran the economy.......he's a far cry from the fools doing it today and he has a track record that no one in government can claim to own.......don't bet against Steve Jobs, it's a sucker bet.
