What Steve Jobs Left Untouched »
There were a lot of things Steve Jobs was right about. Probably the most important thing he got right was realizing that you have to build a great stadium before you can invent great sports.

Why is Steve Jobs trending? Oh because everyone wants to share the article about how he will be forgotten in 50 years.  ;-)

History Will Remember Bill Gates, Not Steve Jobs

He's exaggerating for effect of course but there is a core of truth to what Malcolm Gladwell says . Bill Gates fame is already as much to do with his charity work than his time at Microsoft. And in 25 years time that is likely all that he will really be remembered for by the public at large.

In ten years time what will people generally know of Steve Jobs?

His historical significance to the industry will still be there, but to the public?

As much as i don't like paying for Microsoft products, i still look up to Gates. Whereas with apple, i think i don't like their products because of Jobs. We'll ok i also don't like their uncustomizable, unextensible designs.

Long live Gates and Linus! They are a blessing to humanity.
