Think Progress: Apple has almost $100B in cash. Perhaps they could pay their Chinese factory workers putting in 15 hr days a bit more?

Steve jobs …..

He DID NOT: 

1. He did NOT revolutionize music or how we buy it. He took what was existing (ie digital music over the internet) and wrapped iTunes around it. Basically forcing everyone to use his service. 

2. He did NOT revolutionize how we listen to music. He took what was existing (ie mp3 players, etc) and wrapped an iPod around it. Basically forcing everyone to use his application. 

3. He did NOT revolutionize computers. He did back when he founded Apple but not when he came back. 

4. He did NOT revolutionize phones. He took what was there (ie Palm, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, etc) and wrapped an iPhone around it. 

5. He did NOT revolutionize apps on a mobile phone or similar device. He took what was there and wrapped iTunes around it. Basically forcing everyone to use his application. 

6. He did NOT revolutionize tablet computers. He took what was there (ie too many to list) and wrapped an iPad (iPod Touch first) around it. Basically forcing everyone to use his service. 

He DID: 

1. He did hire people to come up with great products that people took notice of and became a successful venture. 

2. He did help create Apple computers (I’m not talking about the actual computer but he did do that with Woz). 

3. He did make people notice him. 

4. He did use his influence to build the momentum that now follows Apple products. 

5. He did keep his products at a certain factory after it was public that people killed themselves after working at a terrible place working on his products. 

6. He did ruins people’s lives by suing (or threatening to sue) people for no good reason. 

7. He did have a crooked judge allow a search of someone’s home because a tester dropped his phone. 

8. He did allow crooked cops and employees to search someone’s home under false pretenses because a tester dropped his phone. 

9. He did fire people for talking either too much or didn’t drink the “apple” juice. 

10. He did last longer with his cancer than anyone else should have because he was rich.
