  Adam Curry's Simple Weblog: Steve Jobs Shrugs
    I've always believed Steve Jobs is pure anti-establishment, and not a member of the elite. I met him once for an hour long one on one conversation in 2005, which reassured me of it, and today new information confirms it.- In an interview with Bloomberg, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniac establishes Jobs' admiration of 'Atlas Shrugged', and having apparently held to some of it's principles in business.

  [VIDEO] Woz on Jobs resignation, culture ATLAS SHRUGGED
    He's always going to be remembered, at least for the next hundred years, as the greatest technology business leader of our time. I don't think he's too fearful where Apple goes...I think he'll watch it for a while, and hope it's on such a good track. For something as large as Apple, company culture doesn't change overnight. The sort of products you make, how you make your decisions, the quality of the people working there doesn't change overnight.
