How many versions will I need to buy to get the full Steve Jobs story?
The World needs to move along and truly pay respect to his presence by continuing to make things people enjoy.
You mean his "absence", right?
At least in my lifetime, I don't think anybody personified cut-throat more than Bill Gates. I am sure we can all find some 19th century robber baron who was more "ambitious" than Gates.
For example, each time Jobs says "they just don't get it", i think Gates smiles inside, thinking the same of Jobs. In a sense, that might've been Jobs greatest weakness: in striving for perfection, in bringing the perfect product to the market - he refused to accept the fact that the perfect product is not necessary for business success.
Me neither, but that was who he was. Despite what some people think in the Mac corner, Gates was a brilliant engineer, but more importantly a brilliant businessman. Jobs, were a brilliant, wickedly charismatic, marketer with stunning vision.
Personally, i'd argue that this is extremely evident in statements from the two; especially when it comes do success (or lack of thereof) in the market. For example, each time Jobs says "they just don't get it", i think Gates smiles inside, thinking the same of Jobs. In a sense, that might've been Jobs greatest weakness: in striving for perfection, in bringing the perfect product to the market - he refused to accept the fact that the perfect product is not necessary for business success. Just look at Jobs quotes on how MSFT sells a lot - of crap. Obviously he knew it was so - he just couldn't make himself do it, and maybe he didn't know how to make that compromise.
That said, I'm happy that Jobs managed to break through and make his model work. But like Gates, I'm not so sure of a) how long that success will last, and b) how successful one can be in employing that model without a "Jobs" at the rodder. After all, history has certainly repeated itself before.
P.S.
To avoid sour faces, with marketing I'm referring to the discipline of bringing products to market, rather than PR. Not that he didn't excel at that part too, but to me, marketing implies so much more.
Pretty sure Google does anything but masquerade their beta status of products. Google labs stuff has had beta tagged onto it for YEARS. Of any company they are last people to hide that.
Nah. You typing on this site is Steve Job's presence. The means you are using is Steve Job's presence. I meant what I wrote.
One of the best posts that I have read here in a while. Well worded.
Huh?
I'm typing on a Dell XPS Core i7 running Windows 7 x64, on a forum running vBulletin software on a Linux host system. Most likely there isn't a single bit of Apple hardware or software in the chain.
I don't see Jobs' "presence" anywhere.... We're in the post-Jobs era.

I've just started reading it now. Favorite part so far is Jobs elementary school prank where he and his buddy made fake "Bring your pet to school" signs. Pandemonium ensued.
More Jobs anecdotes is a good thing.

The fact that you are typing anything on a GUI interface on a home computer is evidence of Job's presence. That option simply didn't exist without his vision. Note that I'm not saying he invented anything, he just knew how the technology could be used by people in general. He opened a door you did not even know existed.
Who said anything about a conspiracy theory? Is euthanasia for terminal cancer so inconceivable to you that you would consider it a conspiracy? It's easier for you believe that he died 24 hours after the most anticipated tech media event of the year?The point is, there is no conspiracy theory regarding the timing of his death.

did not mention Jobs' death and the reaction to it,
Perpetual beta allows for continuous development of the product, supported by real-time analysis of actual use
You want to buy a book about what just happened right in front of you?

The only reason we didn't do this earlier was that without the internet there was no way to do it.
Look at Minecraft. Alpha is the new Beta
