I was bored of Steve Jobs before, now I'm just getting nauseated.

When I read this title I had to run to the garbage can to puke.
Steve Jobs NEVER ORIGINALLY INVENTED ANYTHING.
EVERYTHING he was ever associated with was either a stolen idea, or a re-packaging of something existing. Going all the way back to his Xerox tour which he never should have been allowed to do in the first place, that woman employed there that warned them what her suspitions were was right.
If anything Steve Woz should be entrepreneur over Jobs, at least he built the Apple II, jobs did nothing but submit the system for application.
-suing companies to stop their far superior products from sale because they know they'll get destroyed once they do go to sale (Android handsets outselling 4 for every 6 handsets sold for example)
-Horrible factory working conditions for years
-Horribly overcharging for inferior products compared to other choices within the same price range
-Willing to lose all investors' holdings in the company for a fishing expedition in a whirlpool
-Literally EVERYTHING is closed-source/proprietary, giving you the flexibility of granite

And so on and so on.......

Not all Americans worship money. Its the medium that makes the whole world go around. Do you have a job? Do you work for coin of your relm? Then you are no different then 99% of Americans. We go to work, we get our money, we pay our bills ect. ect. ect. We have families, we go to our respective places or worship, we go to the store and buy food. Sound familiar? Its Media and Govt. who make these rediculous lists. Stop lumping all of America in as one group. It only goes to show that you are the person with a problem because you choose to generalize a group or nation and go no farther.
Steve Jobs was an a$$. Period. He was a spoiled little brat who ran his company his way and threw temper tantrums when he didnt get his way. Top 10 for Apple bottom 90 for the person who ran it.

Load of load an looks like a billionaire wannabe sock puppet.

If Steve Jobs died before he returned to Apple he'd be deemed a failure.

1. He gamed the new liver community with his jet or he would have died several years ago before the ipad/ipod.

2. Apples wealth depends on 3rd world dictators to provide slave labor in police states to manufacture his products.

3. He never shared the wealth and horded cash from his investors which only changed because he died.

4. He didn't invent this stuff he stole ideas from his employees and called them his own. Nor did he invent touch screens, phones, digital camera.

So to sum up his 'success' was built upon the backs of modern day slaves. This blog might as well praise Rockfellor as Captain Awesome of all Time TM because he used the Chinese slaves in American to build his railroad system.

To the two guests before me who felt the need to let out their nerd rage, guess what? This has nothing to do with business practices, or ethics, or whether products were over priced, or whether products were good or bad. This is about **entrepreneurship** and how good each of those people were at it. Steve Jobs was an outstanding entrepreneur, end of story.

Branson's just about our best card for the UK, and to some degree i think he deserves a place also.

I mean how many billionaires have hit their backside on a window ledge being lowered of a tall building on live TV and laughed about it?...and let's not forget the Only Fools and Horses cameo.

What a guy...
