Well, yeah - but that's just news people who know nothing reading a few Mac-centric websites and regurgitating. You can't compare the intellectual achievements of Newton and Einstein to a guy who was very good at envisioning and selling gadgets that are very well designed and very easy to use. That's just complete nonsense. It's also annoying when the word 'innovation' is used, because that's not really what Apple do. What they do is take things like the MP3 player, the tablet computer, the GUI, the smartphone that already exist and apply brilliant design and execution that makes your mother absolutely have to have one. And that's where Jobs' genius was - a vision of what consumers want and the drive to get to that endpoint. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/1317978829.21674.140258152065...@webmail.messagingengine.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
