    I wonder if this is how the Mac Business Unit at Microsoft runs.  And is this why Mac versions of Microsoft Office products, Outlook in particular, always seem to be lacking essential features that the Windows versions have?

    You CAN be a total dick, IF you have the vision, genius, success, and ability to change, IMPROVE and make the world move forward like Jobs, Edison, Churchill, Einstein, etc.!  BUT just being a dick does NOT cut it!

    My experience in life is that to get anything of worth done, you often are required to be a dick. I know, because I've always been fucked when I have been unable or unwilling to be a dick. This is required to get people motivated, to get them to perform, to get results, discipline, and to not get trampled on at every turn.


     


    However, the fact that this is how you choose sum up SJ- as 'total dick' says alot about you. It's pretty despicable, considering everything else that he was, and that he also changed alot during his later years.
