ya, jobs was very important in the early days of home computing and with the boom in consumer devices which started in the early 2000s

Jobs, Gates, Wozniak, Allen, Brin, Page, Yang, Filo, and MAYBE Zuckerberg (if you believe that Facebook was 'first' social networking platform) are all pioneers of the modern computing era, IMO

Although I still say Turing was probably more important overall to the field of computing. If you don't know who Turing is, look it up -- the server is hosted on a Turing machine.


You mean that math Genius dude who helped crack the German Enigma cipher protecting their comms and indirectly helped the allies win WWII? The dude who was also g.a.y. and was shunned and put on hormone therapy to deal with that problem and ended up commiting suicide as a result of that?

I didn't even have to use the interwebs. Books ftw =P

Another way Gates could turn out to help the US: His choice to postpone something inevitable (death via incurable cancer) could be transposed into a realistic discussion of Medicare/Medicaid and the fraud perpetrated on the American citizen via those promises.

Here's the fraud:
1) Health care costs are growing about 9% annually, and given the resistance to Obamacare [which at its core reduces that percentage increase] we can assume that's a lower bound at best.
2) A single-person healthcare plan with zero comorbidities for a 50-yr old healthy male is about $1k/mo.
Do the math on that and the cost at age 85 is $240k/year. For free.

So the discussion would be on the checks we as a nation can cash, not the checks we can write. We have politicians claiming that everyone over 50 will have what they were promised in Medicare, but we can't pay for nearly any of those promises.

And all I hear and read, no matter where I look, is the lauding of what Steve did for someone's stock price or in the creation of products, instead of a bit of introspection as to what he did after he was told that God was calling him home - like it or not.
