Sorry for upsetting you, fanboys ;)
- debacle 14y agoOf who?
- raju 14y agoI think he means Steve Jobs
- neya 14y agoYep. I did. Thanks. Looks like I've upset some fanboys with my comment. ;)
- 1123581321 14y agoI didn't downvote you and I agree in some ways with you, but your comment didn't really say anything. Perhaps you could edit it to point out some of the similarities you notice.
- neya 14y agoThanks, I've edited my original comment to reflect my reasons. Have a great day!
- eevilspock 14y agoNo, he's more like Bill Gates. Tesla/Jobs are driven by a desire to change the world. Edison/Gates by the desire to own the world. You can see the difference in all the decisions Apple made in its history, often making choices of design purity over market dominance. It ultimately dominated by sticking to its design principles, showing that sometimes the long-view wins. I think Tesla would have thrived if he could have gone to Jobs instead of Edison for support.
- neya 14y agoFirst of all, I don't want to land up in a Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs argument. I strongly believe both have done remarkable things in different ways. Second, please stop claiming "Jobs has changed/has a desire to change the world". For America, it maybe true, but not for the rest of 'THE WORLD'. Nokia/Samsung/etc still lead the sales in Asian countries, for instance. Third, I 'personally' think its a good thing that Tesla didn't meet Steve J. Well, look at what XEROX is now. That is all I can say.
- gurkendoktor 14y ago> For America, it maybe true, but not for the rest of 'THE WORLD'. Apple's influence is very noticeable in other developed countries too. Tablets and app phones (except for Windows Phone) are all heavily inspired by iOS devices. On the desktop it's similar, but not as visually obvious. Unit sales are not the way to measure this. Of course, that still only covers the developed world.

- phaus 14y agoBill Gates has done far more to make the world a better place than Jobs would have done if he lived to be 200.
- LordJavathe3rd 14y agoYou filthy dog. Tesla can by no means be compared to that nut jobs. I don't recall Stevie inventing anything, he just knew how to take credit for other peoples work, and how to sue others who were surpassing his company.
