And yet, he still wears the same clothing.... he must have his closet full of the same shirt and pants... he even brands his image... Steve is good.

Wanna know why he got fired?

Because of the same people that cry out EVERY time Apple releases a new device because they don't get what Apple - and Steve Jobs - are trying to accomplish: perfect usability.

Perfect man-machine interfaces.

Uninspired people without imagination, with no understanding of design what so ever, those people got him fired and almost destroyed Apple.

These people run companys like Dell, HP, IBM, Nokia, BlackBerry ... Their customers only look at feature lists.

brilliant insight into the mind of a genius

@bigbold2 hah, that's a good way to see it =P

[bigbold2]

@PabloNeirotti Since NeXT was founded in 1985, they were ahead of their time, then.

@nfoo Well said sir :D some people just dont get it, but that fine, leave them with their error ridden Windows...

I love steve's dramatic pauses in his speaking. Not immediately after a question was asked, but mid sentence where he'd stop, and put together his next lines very masterfully. Also notable in his opinion of Microsoft around this era.

@nfoo Support. I respect Steve Jobs a lot. He's gone through a lot too :\
