Actually it was Al Gore who invented the mouse. Woz and Jobs built Al Gore in a garage in silicon valley.

Taylor Swift is #6. I don't know what to make of this list.
Do you think Mr Cook campaigned for this title? Are there photos of him accepting the World's Greatest Leader Trophy from Steve Forbes?Apple, Tim... shame on you. You should give back this cheap, fake. ridiculous title.

No Im not, and you are justifying his behaviour.
Yes you are. And I'm stating the facts. It's pretty silly to have a go at a CEO for the workers in another company. It's better to have a go at the CEO of the company in question. That being Foxconn.
Terry Gou is the Foxconn CEO still as far as I know. Have a go at him for his workers and not Tim Cook.
Hmmm. I might be being horribly naïve, but I can't see Tim Cook wanting to be pronounced The World's Greatest Leader. Even if he sleeps in TWGL monogrammed pyjamas I doubt he'd want to be publicly named as such. That said, it's difficult to believe that the article wasn't run past Apple PR, and it's equally difficult to believe that they didn't bring the article to his attention.Do you think they just included him in the list, and gave him the world's stupidest title ever, without him and/or the Apple PR team knowing anything about it?!?
No way. I bet you he knew everything about it: the list title, his ranking, who else was on the list, the text about him, the photo they used, the date it would be published... etc. Everything was authorized by Cook and Apple's PR minions.
And in any case... they accepted it. For a company that imposes fierce media control - specially on establishment magazines such as Forbes - they might as well campaigned for it.
Let's just proclaim him the Greatest Human Being Who Ever Lived and be done with it...
