Steve Jobs

Nov. 5, 2009:

(Fortune magazine) -- How's this for a gripping corporate story line: Youthful founder gets booted from his company in the 1980s, returns in the 1990s, and in the following decade survives two brushes with death, one securities-law scandal, an also-ran product lineup, and his own often unpleasant demeanor to become the dominant personality in four distinct industries, a billionaire many times over, and CEO of the most valuable company in Silicon Valley.

WHATEVER!
I LOVE this Brit's rant against the IPhone...absolutely true...

AT&T sucks the big one, and the quality of the IPhone AS A PHONE stinks...and after all, that's what it is suppose to be for more than a toy or a plaything for the Twitter and Texting numbskulls.
