“Steve Jobs - Innovative technology genious”
Not even that. He was opportunistic and very, very good at identifying and exploiting the ingeniousness of others. He was very good at getting the very best out of the people around him, which is an extremely valuable and very, very rare talent. I also find that he was very good at setting “nearly” impossible goals, something which I believe he learned the value of at HP, when HP was HP (as opposed to the shell marketing company that it is now).
The WOZ was, and is, the genius. But he got out of the game early.

yeah, sort of weird how that can happen. I think God blesses people with great talents, and then when they use them and become successful, the devil comes and leads their minds down the wrong path unrecognized. Yet that creative genius is still alive...but imagine what he would have done with the right mindset politically. And he would not have gotten cancer too, as that is a demon caused personality dis- ease.
