> Why this insistence that Jobs had some magical special sauce that all of us are lacking? I agree with this. The say I see it, Jobs' only superpower was obsessiveness, and the willingness to say "not good enough", over and over again. Regarding the "tweaker" concept, I think there's an important distinction: Apple (and Pixar) didn't take existing tech or design and iterate on them; rather, they created whole new tech from scratch, which they then iterated on. The Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, CG animation: they all aimed at a pre-existing concept, re-engineered a whole new thing to address that concept, and THEN iterated ruthlessly internally.
