Steve Jobs Crowned "Person of the Decade"

longacre writes "Apple CEO Steve Jobs won over 30% of the vote in an online poll published by personal finance and investing news site SmartMoney.com, enough to earn their 'Person of the Decade' title by a solid margin over luminaries such as Warren Buffett (17%), Ben Bernanke (13%) and Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page (12%). From the article: 'Certainly, Jobs accomplished more than probably any other CEO since he returned to Apple in the late 1990s: Not only did he revive sales at the failing computer company, he led the stock to a more than 700% increase in value, and forever changed the way people buy and listen to music.'"

the PATRIOT act, and the DMCA

Ah, you mean those legislative acts, which are born, debated, and passed in Congress? To which both parties contributed? Or do you really not understand the nature of legislation?

And if you do understand it, are you suitably horrified by the monstrosities brewing in both houses right now? Complete with attempts to make it impossible for future legislators to undo some of its worst parts? Keep your eye on the ball, here, rather than spouting nonsense.
