The post is not very good. Jobs was a visionary but he most certainly stood on other ideas that people already had. BUT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. He took other people's ideas and made them revolutionary. Macintosh was someone else's idea that he hijacked, and made better, but he also caused a lot of divisiveness because of it, and this ultimately caused him being kicked out of Apple. He bought Pixar because of its hardware and software. Not because of the animation. He even admitted that if he knew that the hardware and software wasn't going to be successful, he never would have bought Pixar in the first place. I could go on and on. Even the iPad was because of the dinner he had at some MSFT employee's house. And Apple Stores was still a store, just reimagined to make it cater to what people wanted. Steve Jobs was an artist. He WAS an engineer, and he WAS a designer. People forget that he was into electronics just as much as Wozniak was, except Wozniak was better. He did design many elements of Apple products which is why he is on 200+ patents. His gift was being able to apply his sense of artistry to technology and make it truly beautiful, without much compromise in his vision. His artistry and unwillingness to compromise was also a curse when he almost ran out of money funding Next. He was wrong often and struck out a lot, but when he was right, they were home runs.
