Firstly thanks for a great digg. A proper bit of journalism in a really readable article, rather than some low ranking employee's wet dream blog for once, a real breath of fresh air for digg.Second thing. It's amazing to see that, for all there are constant comparisons between Windows and Mac, Gates and Jobs - they are actually completely different people in terms of what they want from their own life and how they imagine making other people's lives better. In other words Jobs is very much his own man, whereas Gates can sometimes seem like a puppet of his own creation. I can imagine that if Jobs ever got tired of what he does he would have no problem in just walking away, whereas Gates would perhaps have a fear of failure demon on his back about it.My advice to some of you guys who commented on the "Not enough Sex" paragraph is to read the whole thing, it gets better.digg+++++

"One home run is much better than two doubles," he said, explaining that then there's only one marketing and production budget rather than two.Something hydras like Sony are learning the hard way.The problem with authoritarian Jobs at the head: he's got major health problems, and he's not going to last much longer...

For all you Jobs fans out there... read the book "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs by Alan Deutschman". You guys will love it. After reading that book, I went from being a Bill fan (for over 12 years) to being a Jobs fan totally. The Man "Jobs" is totally (insanely) GREAT! http:www.audibleindia.co.in

Steve Jobs is a dynamic person he made me inspired to make <a class="user" href="http://www.financejobs.co.nz">http://www.financejobs.co.nz</a> seeing him at conference in US was really inspiring , though it makes you wonder becuase he is such a dominance in Apple, what will happen in the next couple of years.Golbal economy aside, things are in the air for apple, we shall see
