Steve Jobs had a certain personality and character that he could be hands-on -- there is no-one at Apple who has that. SJ also had charisma, and I'm sure some of his teams would have been willing to make big sacrifices for him and...

I'm thinking of getting a 32GB WiFi+3G White iPad-mini to go with the first-gen iPad.   Unfortunately, Apple's 14-day no quibble return policy means that a certain percentage of orders will be to people who will have no...
