No, because jobs has been around longer and pirates of silicon valley movie, i actually like jobs more. However, from an intellectual standpoint i think bezos is the better man for consumers.
- tvon 17y agoI see where you're coming from, but I think you're overlooking a few things. Apple basically showed the labels that selling music online was "good", they pressured the labels to drop DRM and regularly pressure the content owners (music and video) to lower prices. Basically everything great about Amazon MP3 (prices and lack of DRM) is there not because Bezos insisted on it, but because the labels are eager to (re)gain the upper hand against Apple. Besides, Apple is objecting to Amazon getting a day of exclusivity in return for featuring new releases, I don't see how that benefits anyone other the label and Amazon. Not that I approve of Apple's tactics here, just saying that painting Bezos as the good guy is not exactly correct and while Jobs has freakish control issues, he has historically focused on providing the best experience (in his eyes) for consumers.
