An Insider's Take on Steve Jobs

Jerry Rivers writes "Business Week has an interesting, if short, interview with Edgar Woolard Jr., the man who brought Jobs back to Apple in the dark days of 1996. "Old money" Woolard offers some interesting insights into the man behind the iMac and the iPod, including his take on Jobs' 'five special characteristics' that make him the success that he is."

American health care sucks because a certain brand of 'healer' successfully lobbied for a monopoly almost a hundred years ago.

I started seeing a gifted Osteopath (a profession whose competitors tried to eradicate, but were successful in lobbying for parity with Medical Doctors) last year, and I happily pay the $175/visit out of pocket. He doesn't take insurance because it's not worth his time to file. He'd need to hire another person to chase after the insurance company, and why bother if he can just give his clients a receipt and let them deal with the headache?

His practice is full regardless. Recently he said that he's thinking about not taking any new patients, until he fixes the ones he's got.

(biodynamic cranial osteopathy is the greatest :)
