I disagree with the 2nd paragraph. Amazon is not a SV company but the are loved by SV. I think the problem goes waayy back to the original ideological differences of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
However one thing that might make SV loyalists tick is that the largest software company in the world is not in SV.
- kenjackson 14y agoBut there is no real Amazon competitor in SV -- at least not where they dominate -- merging product/delivery with web services.
- sigkill 14y agoBut lets be honest, Steve wasn't a paragon of virtue himself. Actually the more I read about him (just read the June Fast company article) the more I think he lets his emotions dictate his corporate actions. I mean, who ever publicly announces that they're starting a rival company in revenge for being kicked out? I like (todays) Bill Gates as a human being. I like (the last current build of ) Steve Jobs purely because of his marketing skills.
