Too bad Apple never managed to strike that balance. They've just
about become a sideshow now, thanks to management by egomania. Tog
leaving the was the sign of the beginning of the end; Jobs has the
will to make "insanely great products" but he just doesn't have the
vision. He also has enough ego to never let him admit he doesn't
have the vision.
Guy Kawasaki was simply the James Carville of the computer industry.
