- crusso 12y agoHard to say. The guy lived more of an interesting life and had a bigger impact on the world than any of us will ever come remotely close to. Would 80 years of mostly mediocrity beat 56 years with plenty of "best on earth"?
- endzone 12y agodo people really think like this? it's just a phone at the end of the day
- marktangotango 12y agoFan is short for 'fanatic' after all.
- crusso 12y agoI don't know what I'd choose since I can't tell you a meaning for life that is at all universal or that I buy into all that much. I do, however, know that Jobs was responsible for a lot more than the iPhone.
- guscost 12y agoNo kidding - Steve Jobs made Pixar possible. He had such an impressive career that "also started Pixar" is an interesting bit of trivia. Think about that for a second.
- mhartl 12y agoIt's impressive, to be sure, but Jobs didn't start Pixar—he essentially bought it from Lucasfilm. [1] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixar#Early_history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixar#Early_history
- ghshephard 12y agoEveryone knows that Jobs didn't start Pixar, and most of the people here are familiar with Steve's involvement, but even his stronger detractors would acknowledge that Pixar would not have accomplished all it had done in Movie Making had it not been for Steve's involvement.
- mhartl 12y agoEveryone knows that Jobs didn't start Pixar Evidently at least one person didn't know that, because my comment was written in response to someone who wrote that Jobs "also started Pixar". If the commenter had written "also a main driving force behind Pixar", no correction would have been required.
