  The Tweaker - The real genius of Steve Jobs.
Time: 08:41 EST/13:41 GMT | News Source: The New Yorker | Posted By: Robert Stein

ot long after Steve Jobs got married, in 1991, he moved with his wife to a nineteen-thirties, Cotswolds-style house in old Palo Alto. Jobs always found it difficult to furnish the places where he lived. His previous house had only a mattress, a table, and chairs. He needed things to be perfect, and it took time to figure out what perfect was. This time, he had a wife and family in tow, but it made little difference. “We spoke about furniture in theory for eight years,” his wife, Laurene Powell, tells Walter Isaacson, in “Steve Jobs,” Isaacson’s enthralling new biography of the Apple founder. “We spent a lot of time asking ourselves, ‘What is the purpose of a sofa?’ ”

Perhaps this is why Bill Gates—of all Jobs’s contemporaries—gave him fits. Gates resisted the romance of perfectionism. Time and again, Isaacson repeatedly asks Jobs about Gates and Jobs cannot resist the gratuitous dig. “Bill is basically unimaginative,” Jobs tells Isaacson, “and has never invented anything, which I think is why he’s more comfortable now in philanthropy than technology. He just shamelessly ripped off other people’s ideas.” After close to six hundred pages, the reader will recognize this as vintage Jobs: equal parts insightful, vicious, and delusional. It’s true that Gates is now more interested in trying to eradicate malaria than in overseeing the next iteration of Word. But this is not evidence of a lack of imagination. Philanthropy on the scale that Gates practices it represents imagination at its grandest. In contrast, Jobs’s vision, brilliant and perfect as it was, was narrow. He was a tweaker to the last, endlessly refining the same territory he had claimed as a young man.

Jobs was never 100% right, but he was never 100% wrong either.

Gates is not the business saint some make him out to be.

I'm a Gates fan, but I don't think I've ever head the name "Gates" and the word "Saint" used in the same sentence. Genius, perhaps, but never Saint... ;-)

With respect to his philanthropy he is a saint.

With respect to his business practices - not so much.

I guess that makes him a modern day Robbing-Hood :)

I Love the way I can MultiTask with AW. For every post I try to save here, I can go to another site and read 3 threads!

Where the hell is the new site?

Larry, There is nothing more important than me to get this replaced as soon as possible. I am doing everything I can. The new site is 80% paid for. I have worked things out with Cliff, the graphics designer. We have a new server, ready, which we are moving this site to soon. Hang in there. Dave created a captcha the other day to help prevent the spammers, and I have been deleting them from the database as I see them.

#3: More like Robber-Baron guilt. He knows he's seen as an evil, greedy bastard who stole practically everything from others while using every dirty, illegal trick in the book to thwart competition. That is his legacy, but he is determined to change that with his philanthropy efforts.

#6: Where is St. Ketchum of Redmond and his 99.9% done AW update?

#8 By 2 (136.142.138.106) at 11/9/2011 12:02:28 PM
Latch, he is very very sick. I hope he gets better soon. We are using a developer now local to me in Pittsburgh, he was also in my wedding party, and the director of a development company here.

#8: I'm sorry, I was not aware that he was having medical problems. As much as I rejected his ideology, he was a smart guy and I respected his eloquence. I hope he recovers.

My wife, at my persuading, met Lloyd about two years ago. She had nothing but good things to say about him (the real-life him) and that mirrors my own view of him (the virtual him).

#11 By 3653 (68.52.99.180) at 11/14/2011 1:11:33 PM
latch - "I was not aware "

State the obvious much? Your complete lack of awareness is only rivaled by your lack of knowledge and understanding of the world around you. I still laugh when I think of all the wasted keystrokes you spent to re-re-re-state your position that "automatic updates" to an OS would simply never be the norm. Reference http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/11/14/minimizing-restarts-after-automatic-updating-in-windows-update.aspx for evidence (90% of users use auto-update) of how wrong you got a basic tenet of modern client computing.

Now go warm up my coffee!

Yes, I met him too. Nice guy
