- sfjailbird 13y agoYes, I was not surprised to learn Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison were good friends.
- raverbashing 13y agoAt least Jobs had taste. One of them gave us Apple, the other, Oracle. Not hard to pick a winner.
- WalterSear 13y agoOracle is what it is, but your initial assertion is a matter of taste.
- wslh 13y agoTake it easy, but you can't negate the impact that Apple had in our field.
- piyush_soni 13y agoYes, it also had a big impact (of course, negative) on the culture of 'healthy competition' that once used to be the case in the pre-Apple era. Steve Jobs ensured that someone, somewhere is always in a 'face-palm' position reading/hearing about patents on "pinch to zoom", "slide to unlock", rounded corners, icons in a grid, wedge shape, and many more, while they went on to steal more.
- wslh 13y agoI think in a different way. Beyond the negative aspects of Apple (and, specifically, every public company in a powerful situation like Microsoft or Google) I thank them for pushing the mobile state of the art forward. In a few years we will have more options with that move.
