Turing was very good at finding good problems, and then had the courage to work on them. The Lifehacker list is amusing, at best. I quickly run out of fingers and toes if I count the mathematicians I know who are runners, have messy desks, and break big problems down into small problems. Few, if any, of them are near to having Turing's influence.
