Steve Jobs founded what is now one of the most valuable companies in America.
His technical skill, and more importantly, his business and management skills created wealth for the world and increased our standard of living. And he did this through peaceful and voluntary contracting with his workers, vendors, and customers.
I don't know to what extent, if at all, he or Apple has lobbied the government for special privileges or for competition-killing business regulations. What I do know is I am typing this blog entry on my MacBook Pro and I listen to my iPod every night. The company he created and risked his own livelihood for has made me better off.
Thank you, Steve Jobs, for
btw - "Pirates of Silicon Valley" is an entertaining dramatized "documentary" about Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and the founding of Apple and Microsoft. I recommend it.
