IMHO, on the positive side, both of them created a number of jobs around the world; they made the way for the livelihood of more than a billion of us:
- Ritchie on the intellectual side, and
- Steve on the business and infotainment side.

For what it's worth, if you had asked me who I would liked to have met personally, then my immediate answer would have been Kerningham, Ritchie or Stroustrup. If it must be Apple, then perhaps Steve Wozniak, just to have a nice talk about what soldering together your own hardware was like.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Didn't know he passed. IMHO he did a lot more for the industry then Jobs.
New version: WinHeist Version When you have eliminated the JavaScript, whatever remains must be an empty page. Unknown

I see no reason to cheer Jobs' death.
But really I see it as two different types of achievement. It would be more realistic to compare Jobs to another entrepreneur, e.g., Gates.

It's quite simple... Steve Jobs had a skill set which you do not have an appreciation for. He did in fact have foresight and was able to push people to build things that they didn't see themselves. I dare you to try and build a successful business like that, and then get back to us on how useless he was to IT.

Well, it's obvious isn't it?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Yes, but How do I fit "Mouse" in 6 characters?

By thinking bigger.
Or smaller.
Or just the same.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Bigger? You mean Rat? I think we are going the wrong way here. But maybe the collective word then. Rodent?

Not just yet.

That all rather depends on where you are trying to put them.

Yes.
But not the right answer.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
