Steve Jobs: Redefining The CEO

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the more-like-ring-master dept.

conq writes "BusinessWeek has a nice piece on how Steve Jobs is redefining the job of being a CEO. From the story: 'Just over a decade ago, Steve Jobs was considered washed-up, a has-been whose singular achievement was co-founding Apple Computer back in the 1970s. Now, given the astounding success of Apple and Pixar, he's setting a new bar for how to manage a Digital Age corporation.'"

    Seriously-in the words of Yogi Berra, could it be "deja vu all over again" for Pixar and Disney. Hmmm-the iMouseketeer!

    Not as funny as the title, "Redefining the SEO".

    So...if your ads are on crack then you're a good CEO?

    Yes ... if they work.

    It's a lot like classic rock. The more drugs the artists had in them, the better their music was. ;)

  6. off subject=PC's- cd/dvd burners/cd's/dvd's by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    We had music to burn hundreds of cd's,which pretty much justified,owning a good cd-dvd burner,and plenty of storebought cd-dvd's.Now we pretty much only have linux to burn our cd/dvd's.
            With most distros making a poor mans install harder and harder,and new live cd distro's popping up every other day.
        I think Linux is primarily a means of selling cd/dvd burners etc.
      mp3 was a conspiracy from the beginning,but I still dont own a mp3 player,and never will.
        Fuck Linux_anyone agree??

    You forget that Jobs is an immortal alien cyborg who will never die.
