You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new. ~ Steve Jobs

The curious case of Steve Jobs
Thursday, May 13th, 2010
From start to finish, the Apple CEO is a man of contradictions. A young Steve Jobs, starting out in the working life, was faced between an unusual choice between the business world and the Buddhist monastery – to make a living of selling gadgets to masses or to devote his life to a famously non-materialist faith.
Worshiped by the Apple-cult, loathed by the PC conservatives, Jobs doesn’t struggle to spark an opinion.
Currently, the polo-neck enthusiast from California, makes it regularly to the headlines of the digital world. Yet in 2004, when London iTunes store was launched, a Guardian article described him as practically unknown compared to Bill Gates.

Thursday, May 13th, 2010After months of sniping and grumbling at Adobe, Apple boss Steve Jobs didn’t leave anything to interpretation in his open letter on the company’s site.

Jobs’ take on the subject at a question & answer session for Apple employees was not so diplomatically phrased.
