Its that time of the year again - Macworld!
I have watched the shorts from this for a while now, and its fantastic how innovative apple have been over the past few years! The new iphone looks incredible, I have already put in my birthday order with FH :P
The thing I love about Steve Jobs is that he knows how to think from the point of view of a consumer. Sure, they sometimes stuff up (apple tv for example), but rather than just expect consumers to like it or lump it like microsoft, they try and improve their products so they are more user friendly.
You are almost forced to respect Steve Jobs; he arguably pulled apple out from a downward spiral when he was rehired to run the company he started after being fired in 1985!
Steve Ballmer was named CEO in 2000 when Bill gates stepped down: I truly respect Bill Gates for his fantastic business knowhow, but Steve Ballmer comes across as immature (see below). His latest act is running into a microsoft presentation like a drunk frat boy!
For information, I would recommend Pirates of Silicon Valley - not an entirely accurate portrayal of the rise of Microsoft and Apple, but quite entertaining ;) Or maybe I am just a giant nerd :P
Anyway, for your viewing pleasure:
