Some people change the world and change civilization. He is one of them.

Pretty clever guy. part of what people love about Mac computers is the ability to do advanced graphics. And we all know Mac is growing more popular than PC...Microsoft isn't king of the block anymore.

An enterpreneur in all of the good meanings of that term with relatively few of the bad meanings. 

He should be a model for North American business executives, but virtually none of them have the brains or the balls to emulate him. 

Historically he's chosen the tougher path of innovation over acquisition, which the meglaith Microsoft resorted to when the ingenuity ran out.  In spite of being backed up to the wall several times during his career it appears to have paid off and advanced the state of the art in whatever field he's ventured into.  Like Bell, Edison and Ford before him his genious was in equal parts -  invention, capitalization and commercialization.

Jobs has been able to balance an artsy, creative, kind product image with ruthless business practices to build a juggernaut. iTunes has flipped music on its head, the iPhone has done the same for cell phones - and now Macs are starting to eat into PCs marketshare. Impressive.

  He saved Apple computers from it's inevitable clone death. Before Jobs, Apple was being produced by companies like Power Computing, Umax, and Radius, who were all making cheap versions of the MAC and it was all just that, Cheap Versions.

When Steve Jobs came in, he removed all the rights to the other companies who were making Mac clones and rebuilt the company from the ground up....again. This guy has my complete respect. Had not been for him, Apple would have died.

Has fronted up two major business success stories, each time coming from nowhere and making something out of nothing. Much more impressive than these self-impressed preening peacocks who manipulate themselves to the top of the corporate ponzi scheme of some cashcow company and then line their pockets and the pockets of family members and buddies while sending jobs offshore, figuring out tax avoidance scams, stealing openly from the public and engaging in influence peddling those political trollops in Washington and various state and local governments.

a visionary !

Steve Jobs is simply an amazing leader. It is good that he took some time off from Apple to grow up and settle down a little bit, but he's back, and he's even better than before.
