I'm surprised the article didn't mention the story about Jobs, Atari, and totally Jewing Steve Wozniak.

What happened pretty much summarizes why I he was not a very good person, and why he was so successful at his business ventures.

Quote:

Jobs returned to Atari and was given the task of creating a circuit board for the game Breakout. According to Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell, Atari offered $100 for each chip that was eliminated in the machine. Jobs had little interest in or knowledge of circuit board design and made a deal with Wozniak to split the bonus evenly between them if Wozniak could minimize the number of chips. Much to the amazement of Atari, Wozniak reduced the number of chips by 50, a design so tight that it was impossible to reproduce on an assembly line. According to Wozniak, Jobs told Wozniak that Atari gave them only $700 (instead of the offered $5,000) and that Wozniak's share was thus $350.[32]

As opposed to the "Conservative" stance of treating each other as brothers in Christ ...

That's about the biggest stretch for the definition of liberal ever. I recall W having problems with Jong, Castro, & Gadaffi. Does that make him a liberal? Or is it different when it's governments instead of business.

Conservatives tend to be a bit more heartless.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
