It is no secret that Steve Jobs is the genius (and madman) behind the Apple lexicon and product. It is no secret as well that he has weathered many a storm both product and industry related as well as health concerns as well. For being a great creator of wealth of his shareholders and the industry as well as conquering his own health concerns and demons - I respect him immensely. America needs 10,000 more Steve Jobs, we should do everything possible to foster and encourage the genius and growth of both ingenuity and human capital that Apple represents.
But I digress (not an unusual thing for me), I find it interesting to read of the story in Wired today that shows a different Steve Jobs, perhaps one that is fighting for a product and idea (the iPhone and it's company identity), and perhaps worrying just a little more about the Google Nexus' chance at taking marker share than I perhaps would have garnered the potential possibility of:
Interesting.Jobs, characteristically, did not mince words as he spoke to the assembled, according to a person who was there who could not be named because this person is not authorized by Apple to speak with the press.
On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says. Someone else asks something on a different topic, but there’s no getting Jobs off this rant. I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing, he says. This don’t be evil mantra: “It’s bullshit.” Audience roars.
