Whenever there is a topic concerning Bill Gates, there always seems to be someone in the discussion section that will find a way to shoehorn Steve Jobs into a comment, however irrelevant. An interesting phenomenon.
- nkozyra 14y agoYeah, it's weird. Like when Joe Frazier or George Foreman come up in Ali discussions. Or when you talk Larry Bird, inevitably Magic Johnson comes up. Or when you talk about NES, someone brings up Sega. Oh wait it's because those things are narratively, intrinsically connected because of the compelling nature of rivalry as it turns out that is not weird at all.
- brudgers 14y agoEven more phenomenologically interesting is that everyone leaves out Larry Ellison.
- jfoster 14y agoI don't think it's shoehorning as much as it is Bill Gates & Steve Jobs being yinyang.
- enjo 14y agoThe two are inescapably linked. Ali and Frazier. Magic and Bird. DiMaggio and Williams. We'll spend the next few decades putting them in context with each other.
