ItemImage

From Wikipedia: "Steve Jobs (born Steven Paul Jobs on February 24, 1955) is the co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Apple Inc. In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of LucasFilms Ltd which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios. [7] He remained its CEO and majority shareholder until its acquisition by the Walt Disney Company in 2006. [2] Jobs is currently the Walt Disney Company's largest individual shareholder and a member of its Board of Directors. He is considered a leading figure in both the computer and entertainment industries. Steve Jobs is listed as Fortune Magazine's Most Powerful Businessman of 2007, beating out 25 other business leaders.[8]"

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.
