Oh come on. "unheard-of"?

I think the writer has gone overboard a little.

I mean, hasn't this guy "heard of" Edison? da Vinci?

Just saying it's not totally without precident : )

Check it out, Edison and da Vinci lived in different decades.

I love SJ and agree he's CEO of the decade but this piece, starting with the camera angles, was annoying and scattered and not worthy of the subject matter.

Maybe I'm over-caffeinated though...

No mention of the original iMac? Shirley that's the killer product that started the rejuvenation of Apple's fortunes...
(or doesn't that count as being in 'this decade'?)

Good. He deserves it.

Thank you for everything, Steve.

Let's not forget the feat of growing a $50 mio outfit (PIXAR) into a billion dollar animation studio juggernaut. In his spare time, mind you.

Congratulation Steve and all the people at Apple!!!

I can't wait to see how that Fortune rumor plays out. hehe

What about Michael Dud, errr I mean Dell? He can be named "beleaguered CEO of the decade" or "Foot in the mouth CEO of the decade" How about "I got whopped the side of my head for talking smack about Apple through my ass decade" theres plenty of titles to choose from.

THE ONE AND ONLY

No the original iMac does not count as being in this decade, because it wasn't. This decade will be over at the end of this year.

So you are comparing Steve Jobs to Edison and DaVinci?? Wow, I guess it does start now. Those were big people in history. BIG.

Just a thought,
en

Steve Jobs IS Thomas Edison, but Leonardo DaVinci, please... put the pipe down.

Edison was just an inventor and a genius marketer.

Through out history, agents of change appear in the world to excelerate the speed of evolution.

Steve Jobs is one such agent.

Well, you COULD possibly compare him to Tesla, although Jobs didn't really invent nearly as much. His significance may be somewhat comparable, though. As Tesla brought the electricity to the world, so did Jobs bring mobile internet, among many other things.

Towering geniuses like Steve Jobs are so rare. He is a shining brilliant Light. He should be respected for the rare being he is. I pray all forces of the universe work together to keep him on planet Earth in good shape for many more decades.

WAY TO GO STEVE!!!

Nov 05, 09 - 03:36 pm Comment from: The Other Steve

On top of setting the standard for computers, music, movies, and phones, showing everyone else how it should be done,

he has also done the same for CEO's.

@mike, disposableidentity, etc.

Here's Steve Jobs's connection with Leonardo! (maybe)

"The Da Vinci Code" opening & closing scenes took place at the Louvre, and now—

Who says liberal Democrats from wacko, radical Northern California are anti-capitalist? Fortune magazine didn't.

I love it, on cnn.com under the tech heading here are two headlines that say it all:

CEO of the decade: Steve Jobs
Microsoft cutting 800 more jobs

It can be logically said then that he is CEO of the Year, of the Decade, of the Century, and of the Millenium. And Homestead High didn't even give him the Most Likely to Succeed award.
