I think a lot of entrepreneurs would consider it a failure to have to work for facebook or google for a living. It has very little to do with money.

Well that sounds really harsh. Can't you just try to do most of it yourself instead of paying someone $500/hr? I mean you are innocent until proven guilty.

Most people in this world are not hackers. Apple is not going to make a product just to cater to a tiny % of the people. Also there are Apps. No one is forcing anyone to buy any phone. If you want to invent your own smart phone then you

Actually, Apple was a start up. Start ups don't all have to share the same strategy.

No one really "creates" anything if one isn't allowed to build off of what already exists. We would literally be re-inventing the wheel right now if we weren't allowed to look at past inventions. Gladwell is one of those authors who appea

Well viaweb would be one example of pandering that you seem to have just admitted.

The quote is taken from the biography. In that paragraph Jobs is not talking about whether or not he thinks people are shirking by selling. He is saying that real entrepreneurs make companies that last and have a "legacy". I do find it su

Well you obviously weren't doing what you love with viaweb if your entire goal was to sell it to turn a profit so that you'd never have to deal with it again. And Steve's assertion is not about work ethic, it's about building a "real compa

Isn't the plunge in stocks due to the fact that the Kindle Fire has a very low profit margin? I don't think this article is correct with what the cause-and-effect is.

Can you show an article talking about how Steve Jobs would not be successful in East Asia?

I didn't like how some doctor replied on that page talking like he's holier than thou. Not only did he not personally know to what extent Jobs was inflicted. He also thinks that he knows about all forms of therapy even though it's obvious

Boredom drives me. At most jobs I've had, I feel bored. Sometimes I also feel stressed, but I rarely feel interested. The other thing that drives me is ambition.

Certain things require more talent than others. It doesn't matter how hard you practice, you're not going to run faster than Usain Bolt.
