I admire Jobs for his drive and his vision and his ability to get the best work out of amazing folks but his methods were often terribly inhuman when you really look at them.
- talmand 12y agoHe was the idea guy.
- soperj 12y agoAnd we all know here how much an idea is worth.

- soperj 12y agoFirst touchscreen phone was the LG Prada, not the iPhone, fyi.
- Sonicmouse 12y agoAnd it was an amazing phone executed so well that they couldn't keep it on the shelves. /s Seriously. Are you that dense?
- soperj 12y agoAre you? Where was the thinking outside the box exactly?
