Pretty much. But sometimes that's what you need, in order to make an impact. Otherwise you end up making cookie-cutter products.

If a generic CEO were in charge of Apple, they never would have invested as much into their design department, or given them as much control.

Apple has led the way in forcing the business world to realize that people want products that actually look good as well as feel good in the hand. We are seeing other industries follow suit (cars, appliances, furniture, etc.).

The fact that Jobs was such a dick about control/sharing/iTunes etc is a separate issue IMO.

Yeah, I really like that style of running things as far as play to your crowd and fuck the rest, but still think he is a douche, LOL

The leader of our opposition party, Jack Layton, was diagnosed with Cancer back in February. He went through a course of treatment and seemed much better, by the May elections. He took a temporary leave from his position as leader of the New Democratic Party, at the end of July, and died a few days ago.

When it turns, it can come quickly.
