Steve Jobs and the Future of Apple

[Voulkos]

i dont quite see what the big deal is...i realize he made a lot of cool technolagy, but there are a few hundred other compnies out there doing the same thing.

Apple is one of the major companies that pushed towards a design conscious consumer base which allowed for a shift towards aesthetic and ergonomic/functional value assignment.

RIP Steve Jobs

Anyway apple will be fine, if anyone's been watching the stocks they would have noticed that since his death apple has gained a tonne of value, they have taken over from Exxon for lead in the united states (this may no longer be true due to the stocks always changing). Steve Jobs wasn't a inventor he was a marketer, not saying this to demean him but the average persons view point is that he created the Mac OS X system single handed and had some sort of story book rise to power. Truth is Microsoft paid him to become a competitor and he did a awesome job of creating Apples market image and we all know without Apple's market image no one would buy one. Apple is now run by gifted and intelligent people that Jobs had the sense to hire, I am sure it will be fine.

Yep, the case is much that Apple already has it's niche, and staying competitive means keeping a near level budget and keeping it's design teams working.

many people that worked for him considered him a tyrant and a *******
