Considering the knee-jerk reaction most Apple-philes have to anything this man (or his company) says or does, I would certainly think he would have made the list... I'm willing to bet that Microsoft has had an enormous impact on how Apple has crafted their products and presence in the market over the years.
I love this country b/c it allows me to say things like, "This country is retarded" without fear of black helicopters and an SS-type goonsquad picing me up, but lately the three branches have made it so hard (to love them, not to say they're retarded.) I'm glad to have a reason to believe that someone is doing something right in those ivory towers the northeast. I wish we had more stories like this. (Well, not more stories, but more events like this to write stories about. If there were just more stories it would be meaningless.)
Sony has been making PR blunders lately like Buster Keaton dropping his hat.
-Racist Advertising Campaign (Whether or not it was intentional, people are screaming.)
-Rootkit debacle (I'm STILL hearing news stories about this)
-Introducing MORE new types of media in an extremely clogged market. The PSP sucks for the same reasons the PS3 will suck. Too pricy, too expensive to develop for, weird media no one wants to pay for or use. Maybe they will make the PS4 play a new type of memory stick.
-Steadilky declining quality control since the 1990's.
If MSoft just hangs in there (and they certainly can with their American and European business) Sony will hang itslef eventually.
Colonisation off-world seems to be the only answer I can see. As technology becomes more potent it's only a matter of time until the power to destroy the human race can be held in one person's hands.
For something to appear credible it almost has to have a name attached to it. I think one thing that has been shown by the internet is that with anonimity a large chunk, if not am outright majority, of humans are not to be trusted.

Except for in China, which holds about 20% (educated guees, feel free to correct) of the world's popultaion.

I wonder what the ramifications of this experiment are for human rehabilitation practices. Could I be rebuilt someday, bigger, faster, stronger?
