Steve Jobs's Big Miss: TV · Slashdot Mirror

jfruh writes Steve Jobs was a well-known audiophile and music lover, which helps explain why Apple transformed the music industry in the '00s with the iPod and iTunes. But according to a new biography soon to be released, Apple may have failed to do the same for TV because of Steve Jobs's disdain for the medium. One of his first acts upon returning to the company was to kill the flashy, expensive 20th Anniversary Macintosh, in part because it had a built-in TV tuner. "Apple will never make a TV again," Jobs declared.

Billions made stealing others work. Steve is still a hack.
What work has Jobs stolen? Or are we back to the (still incorrect) Xerox meme, that has been mis proven time and again?
