Whew, at 6:00 if you didn't get the clue, stop bringing your toddlers out people

I'm so glad that he said all of Jobs' ideas were from other people. I'm sick of people placing all of the credit on Jobs and blowing everyone else off as "little people."

I need a better host ! This guy will either teach you to run the world , or take advantage of it . Send your flowers to this Cloverhead. Not Steve Jobs!

[youbobz]

i love the volume and tone of the laugh that LYCOS garnered

[ns81]

Don't like this professor's attitude. She takes a moment's pause to give the baby a cold stare. I work with professors. *Some* - not all certainly - think they're enlightened because they're learned about enlightenment in the abstract, and because they can teach, and they act like DICKS in real life.

Take your baby outside!!!

and i'm not an avid fan of gladwell, but he's certainly not stupid.

[quixoticali]

do you really think that people are going to use iphones and ipads in 50 years? assuming that Apple will still be around, i'm not sure if people will remember Jobs. i mean, people don't care who ray kroc is or what he did despite that he was named as one of the import figures in the century by the Time mag. and someone below raised an interesting point: people that whom we remember named something after them. e.g. coco chanel for chanel. enzo ferarri for ferarri.

[Miguel Valencia]

i think steve jobs and bill gates will both be remembered. i dont believe this stupid gladwell guy

[laitho90]

If I found one then he would be famous wouldnt he

[TacticusPrime]

People will remember Jobs like Ford. Gates will be like Carnegie.

[Carmine Montana]

"What about all of the people that at the time people thought would be famous but at the end didn't have that privilege?"

And you say my point is weak- at least I have a point-

If you can name ONE PERSON that revolutionised a product that billions of people use, was the most famous person in their industry when alive, and has boooks and films made about them and founded the most valuable company in the world- that has been forgotten- i challenge u, i can give you 20 names people remember.
