A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday August 30, 2011 @09:20AM from the remember-when-he-wasn't-evil dept.

Zothecula writes with a rather extensive piece in Gizmag about Steve Jobs's various business endeavors. From the article: "Revered by many, hated by some, but respected by most, the indisputable fact remains that Steve Jobs is the most successful business leader of his generation and quite possibly of all time. The numbers are impressive in themselves but the most remarkable aspect of his success is how it was achieved. Though he remains at Apple, the end of his tenure as CEO is the end of an era and an opportunity to try and grasp just exactly what it is he did and what lessons there are for all of us 'trying to make a dent in the universe.'"

Uhh, the economy is the real eradicator of poverty? Seriously? The ENTIRE concept and existence of poverty, is a DIRECT result of current capitalist economic methods.
When has economic growth (ie. rich getting richer) EVER done ANYTHING to eradicate poverty?
Jesus, fucking idiot Americans. Your criminal economic system will be the ruin of the modern world, jackass.
