I guess Jobs isn’t going to vote for him again.
Bump for later.
Steve W plus Steve J equals 30 Million Jobs. That $500 spare space equipment that became the first personal computer inititated the computer, Internet, cekk phone and major medical innovateions that are the sparkling acheivement.
If Jobs didn’t realize the Democrat Party had communist economic ideas then he was not that sart, after all.
Steve Jobs’s leadership style was “my way or the highway”, the same as Newt Gingrich. Most people hated working for Steve Jobs directly and would not have endorsed him to be in charge. Food for thought.
Reagan was secure enough in his own self-worth to honor others. Obama uses others as stepping stones to once again be all about himself.
There are plenty of wealthy tech guys, like Jobs, who are Democrats. They identify with many left-wing causes, because they think the lefties care about mankind. They do so because it, leftist cant, all sounds wonderful, and they get to associate with hip Hollyweird celebrities something in short supply among Republicans. So they vote for pols like Obama who they think can change the world. It’s almost laughable that Jobs didn’t understand why Obama was doing (and still does) all the job-destroying, anti-free market things he does. Which proves tech wonks might be geniuses in their chosen fields, but they’re naive dopes when it comes to how the world really runs.
It is interesting reading about Apple in the early days. It is usually perceived that Steve Jobs took advantage of Steve Wozniak and cashed in on his inventions. However, it seems that Wozniak's inventions would have come to nothing if not put in the hands of a marketing genius like Steve Jobs. Hell, Wozniak was willing to give his inventions away for free.
Nicely written.
BUMP
* His "I" devices are being built by people that have to sign a non-suicide agreement, because they are being pushed so hard.
*His "I" devices are built in a fascist/communist country with "death wagons" for political dissidents and 50 million abortions.*
* His political bent enabled, little or no tort reform, high Corp taxes, and Sarbanes Oxley all impediments to building his "I" devices here, not to mention the EPA
* He was a lefty that tried to get Glenn of the air, so much for free speech their Stevo.
* This is on top of other personal issues...
So why all the borderline worship? Really ? Does these other sides of his totality count? Was he an overrated industrialist?
