Bono brands Steve Jobs the Elvis of the computer world

I respect wealthy people who can direct their money to benefit the poor, the sick, the disenfranchised. That is much better than Tridents, war mongering or subsidizing companies that lack a social conscience. When did Social responsibility get dropped from Annual Plan discussions? Too long ago! Hail to the American Spring this Fall and hopefully lasting to November 2012.

LoyalCitizen has a point. However, keep in mind that a number of rich people have come up with an alternative to pouring money into Washington, Dublin, London etc. for a reason other than greed or selfishness. While I am not sure, I suspect that Bono is one of them and gives more money to effective, deserving causes than he would pay in taxes. BTW, Bono now enjoys the NYC apartment, designed to Jobs's specifications by I.M. Pei, which Jobs sold.

Steve Jobs was a giant. Compare his creative accomplishments to those of Bill Gates and Microsoft. Rather than pirate business from other, more creative firms, Jobs looked into his crystal ball to continue Apple's position of the cutting edge firm in personal technology products. Remember Windows 95 was Mac OS in 1984. I take nothing away from Bill Gates, he made a very wise and/or very lucky decision to take the software used in IBM computers, while IBM concentrated on hardware. Gates' great success has been on his balance sheets. Steve Jobs has been the Man.

Do Tax Dodgers have something useful to say as a character witness for others who pay no child support until embarrassed to do so............Seems the Tax Dodgers (lack of integrity) Bono and the rest might prioritise paying their taxes first, its character building to contribute to your country.
