I'm not sure why anybody is comparing Zuckerberg to Jobs, really. Jobs co-founded arguably the most successful tech company of all time. He revolutionized the PC industry, then saved his company from near-death in his second act, followed by the small feats of revolutionizing the music, smartphone, and tablet markets. Oh, he also co-founded Pixar.
Zuckerberg? As far as anyone can tell, he's still a one-trick pony, who by most accounts, at least stole some of his single idea from his classmates. Though his valuation is through the roof, his business model is still not well established and could burst at any time.
- Pewpewarrows 15y agoI thought the whole HN mantra (and one echoed in this article) was that ideas are worth less than the paper they're written on, and that execution is everything? It's still a dick move to blatantly rip-off a peer like that, but still. He took a good idea and did well with it.
