Bill Gates made his money.
He now spend his money & time 'improving' the world... (unlike the ****ing leeches called MPigs in Kenya)

Jobs will probably do the same but I think he still enjoys the process... creating new products!

Considering we're on the verge of the launch of Apple's new iTablet, thought it in order to complete my findings on the Apple...


1. Despite outside appearances of growth (Apple was the largest PC manufacturer by 1990), but the growth was unsustainable.

2. Windows was not as good as Macintosh, but it was good enough for the average user.

3. After Jobs departure, there were 3 CEOs
-John Sculley in better days "Apple has one leader, Steve and me."
-Michael Spindler in other days "ONE APPLE beats with two hearts"
-Gil Amelio on taking over ailing company ""I will take the blame when things go wrong - and give you the credit when things go right."

4. Jobs manouvered his triumphant return
-after Gil Amelio chose to Acquire NeXT as an answer to a new operating system.
-gradually orchestrating a turnover of the board "It's made up primarily of close friends of Steve's for decades,"
-eventually booting Gil Amelio who resigned after heavy pressure from the board


5. Apple commissioned design of 1st tablet computer - Knowledge Navigator - in 1987.

@All finally finished reading so in case you didn't catch it - The decade of Steve
How Apple's imperious, brilliant CEO transformed American business.

WHY HIM? Youthful founder gets booted from his company in the 1980s, returns in the 1990s, and in the following decade survives two brushes with death, one securities-law scandal, an also-ran product lineup, and his own often unpleasant demeanor to become the dominant personality in four distinct industries (music, movies, mobile, computing), a billionaire many times over, and CEO of the most valuable company in Silicon Valley.


Jobs laid the foundation for Apple's leap from stable to stratospheric when things looked darkest. The iMac, a breakthrough all-in-one computer and monitor that heralded Apple's return to health.

Over the course of 2001, as global markets fell and the world headed into recession, Apple launched the iTunes music software (in January), the Mac OS X operating system (March), the first Apple retail stores (May), and the first iPod (November), a 5GB model that Apple bragged would hold 1,000 songs.

STEVE JOBS: "I would rather compete with Sony (SNE) than compete in another product category with Microsoft," he told Time in early 2002. "We're the only company that owns the whole widget -- the hardware, the software, and the operating system. We can take full responsibility for the user experience. We can do things that the other guy can't do."
