Steve Jobs, hes no Edison

[Vanraw]

FYI, Edison was a scum bag, when it came to taking credit for others work. He also shut down a lot of innovation because he would not profit from it...... Also Gates was probably more of an inventor the Jobs, simple for the concept of MSDOS.

I agree with Jaken here though. Im sorry that Steve Jobs died. He was a great designer / leader, that used existing technology to build very good and sometimes even great products. He was also a very good communicator, which accounted for a large amount of Apple's market success. But I would not put him in the ranks of people like Einstein and Newton, or Tesla.

I will say that one of my over used quotes is from Jobs, and I wish corprate America would listen to it right now, because they need to. It was when Apple looked like it was a dead elephant.

“The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament.”

And that is exactly what he did, from a leadership perspective. Apples recovery should be credited to Steve Jobs leadership.
