Whilst many may deify Michael Schumacher, Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Lee Kwan Yew, Valentino Rossi, Lance Armstrong, Michael Phelps, Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci and even Bill Gates and Steve Jobs; there are also those who are deeply critical of them - most likely due to some deep-seeded jealousy. I on the other hand appreciate that they are just mere mortals, inescapably capable of making mistakes, errors and wrong choices. Do those errors, misjudgement or mistakes define a person and destine them to forever failure. Will Tiger Woods never win another Masters because of his numerous indescretions; I think not. I try to look at track record, and assess overall long-term performance. What that video confirmed to me, is no matter how much vitriol, hatred and disgust the presenter heaped upon Steve Jobs, no matter how logical or factual the arguments, no matter how enthusiastically the audience agreed with everything he said; for reasons I can not explain and certainly do not understand, in the dying seconds the presented admitted his lust for the next Apple product. All I can conclude is, if one with such a wholly justifiable aversion to Steve's latest antics will still so obviously go on buying Apple products, then how much more so the sheep-like general consumer. I thought I'd effectively communicated that this isn't really about right or wrong decisions by Steve Jobs, nor is it about whether you and all the other critics are, most likely, correct about this single decision. This is simply about what will the buying public do due to this decision. Maybe instead of asking who do you think will make more money Steve + Apple - Flash or [yourname here] + Apple + Flash, I should have asked, if you had $1M to invest right now, and could only invest in Apple or Adobe, who would you pick? It's sad that Capitalism has been beaten and pummelled, and so misunderstood.
