Apple’s Personality in Chief Takes Medical LeavePosted on Jan 17, 2011
No other company is as dependent on one man as Apple is on Steve Jobs. That’s the perception anyway, so when the Apple CEO announced he is taking another medical leave, the murmurs about the fate of the world’s second-most-valuable company began immediately. The reality is that there are very capable people running Apple’s show, and in the coming year they’re expected to announce a new iPad, a new iPhone and plenty of other ways to redistribute your wealth in their direction. —PZS

“Ruined Apple” ? Not so sure.
I simply hope, as a big-c survivor, he prevails, health wise.

Marshall, there is no left or right. Those are terms created to divide us.

“your contributions offer unconditional gratuities unusual for competitive
capitalism”
I don’t know exactly what the first part of this sentence means, but i would say
you could reword the last part to be: “unusual for anything but competitive
capitalism”. Apple’s probably the one company that those on the left will admit
to liking, yet they see it as an anomaly rather than a counterexample to their
belief that government does a better job at everything than the private sector
does.
Here’s another one I find fascinating: The Internet. The left will often claim that
Report thisit was government that brought it to us. Indeed, the army invented the basic
infrastructure - already a contradiction to the left’s belief that all military
spending is unnecessary spending. But the fact is that the Internet was nothing
until the WWW was added to it, which only became popular because private
businesses and entrepreneurial startups began using it. The left’s logic often
eludes me.

Who cares about Steve Jobs!? He has ruined Apple! He never should have come back in the first place! The Apple product is nothing like it started out! Hopefully we won’t see him again alive or otherwise!
