Thank you, Steve Jobs.


Letter from Steve Jobs




Joe Nocera's What Makes Steve Jobs Great


Most of the articles written in the past few days about Jobs’s resignation have tended to focus on the iPhone and the iPad. But if you take the long view, they’re just the icing on the cake.

Have we forgotten already that Jobs virtually invented the personal computer, with the introduction of the Apple II, when he was barely 21?



Adrian Slywotzky's Steve Jobs and the Eureka Myth:

… so common in this week's media coverage, that Jobs was an inspired savant who succeeded by taking big risks on personal hunches, is way off the mark. Rather than worship at the altar of inspiration and "going with your gut," the rest of us should use this moment to consider the fundamental strategies that drove Apple's success.








Creativity and innovation NOT market share.
