Money is power, you will not have one without the other. The question has always been, what will you choose to do with it?
Sell sugared water, or change the world.

As heart-warming and lovely this story is, let's be honest here; Steve couldn't care less. This is just an example of great publicity.
yep my thoughts exactly.
SJ is a good businessman and visionary but I would call him a horrible self centered person. There are plenty of cases out there backing the part of him being a horrible person.
One trait I really wish he would pick up from Bill Gates and would push Apple ti pick up from MS is the philanthropy. When SJ came back in 1997 he killed off all of Apple philanthropy and said he would bring it back when the company was doing better. Now over 13 years later it still has not come back.

"The iPad is nice but it's just a giant iPod."
"Tablets are still toys, you can't do anything serious."
"Apple's iPad is too simple. Not enough buttons and flashing lights."
And yet it still manages to change lives. Amazing.
Who ****ing cares.
How does this affect my iPad? What does any of this have to do with sales? Does anyone really care if the CEO of Apple is self-centred? I don't even know the guy.
The average consumer doesn't give a sweet damn what the CEO's personality is like. Maybe Steve's wife and kids or something or his best drinking buddy, but otherwise it's not a factor.
You keep posting nonsense that has no meaning in the real world.
Let's make sure the CEO is a lovely person, and THEN it's ok to get the gear!
And yet people like you worship him like a god.
The fact that you get defense when it is pointed out that he is a horrible person stats a lot.
Lets be blunt SJ is not good role model or someone you want to inspire to be.
Apple is a poor corporate citizen. Apple does relatively little to help education compared to lets say MS. Go check out the stuff MS gives out on dreamspark.com this is on generally very good deals MS cuts with schools to supply the students with software. Add to it MS does other things to help new company get off the ground by going threw Bizspark which gives away some really great software.

And to you LTD, stop posting Post-PC nonsense in every single thread. The world would be playing Angry Birds instead of working if iPads were Post-PC. The way you defend Apple and take those marketing terms like Post-PC seriously, you obviously are his worshiper.
On the subject of the term 'leaders'; it's now fairly standard business terminology to refer to your top leaders or leadership team when discussing the more senior members of the organistion. It's not cultish.

When SJ is right, he's right. Prescience is prescience. Simple as that. Look around you at how the industry has changed. June 2007 started it all.
He's a hopeless narcissist, and that's just a fact. It's what makes things interesting. It's why Apple is the polarizing company it is.
>> Apple is not polarizing.
And how the hell does that make iPad Post-PC? Every time I ask this question in any thread (including yours), you never respond to it. Stop trolling around.
Get set for July 19th for a taste of things to come.
