No offense, but I really dislike that sort of phrasing about people being "famously against things before (they were) for them". I can't help but think of all the problems caused by stubbornness, and the recent article on HN about how Jeff Bezos said the people who were right often were the ones that would change their minds.

- 001sky 14y agoThere is an art to being open-minded, but disciplined at the same time. I don't think anyone would argue Jobs was anything other than focused. Completely different from a flip-flopping politician. I'd almost say Job's flip-flopping instances were the exceptions that prove the rule, expecially because they seemed to be successful (in the market). There are (comparatively) few cases the flipped-into-flops, ya know? (pardon the pun =D).
