Jobs was born outta wedlock, put up for adoption, dropped outta college, then changed the world. What's your excuse?

There is no niche market for anything anymore. All the stories like this (richard branson, alan sugar etc) all similar. They were around when the market was filled with gaps, they took the advantage and did well. There is no way anyone without money to start with can make big money anymore.

I'm sure that's what many people thought back then, IBM, Xerox etc all loads of money and unlimited resources but it took a 2 small companies to change the world.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Quite.

Asserting that there's no opportunity in the world now is just complete nonsense and so myopic to be untrue.  :grin:

True, though being a computer genius and ripping off an idea from people who had a large sum of money helped.

Yes - you seem to be suffering from foot in mouth disease at the moment.

reckon it was the massive shock/disappointment in the Iphone 4S which pushed him over the edge..
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Other than facebook how many people have been as successful as richard branson, alan sugar, steve jobs, bill gates etc

No, its just you have issues with people and feel your superior post count and age gives you the right to say and do as you please, if someone has an opinion thats different than yours you attempt to belittle them about it. Ive seen you do it throughout the forum to various people. All forums have their version of you, you are superior here but not off the computer and low post count people wont say anything back to avoid your sheep followers lol'ing at them.  :rolleyes:
