Please choose your 3 favorite entries and vote before Friday April 22 at 4pm when the poll locks and the winners are determined. Here are the full official entries: | Birthmark | Steve Jobs, the maker of all "I-Candy," wishes he was Adam because then Eve would have bitten into a very different kind of Apple. | | Davetherave | Steve Jobs has never placed CTRL - ALT - DEL in his lexicon for technology or for life, and for that, he may be most successful and influential American of our time. | | Seatoo | A man who exploited the ideas of others, taking them to a higher level than most could imagine, and demanding as much money for himself as possible in the process. | | Cosmic | An 'i' for an eye, a tooth... Oh nevermind the biblical prophecy crap, I really did it because Larry (Ellison) and Bill (Gates) have nicer cars. | | Taj | i scream u scream now we all scream for ice-phone | | Nats | Steven Paul Jobs: from baby boomer, college bum/dropout, counter-culture drug-using hippie to Buddhist business entrepreneurial magnate who aspired, cheated, founded, persuaded, hired, fired, bought, sold and reinvigorated his way to the top of Apple, Pixar, and Disney by unwaveringly seeking & producing appealing design, powerful branding, trendsetting technological innovation and reliable delivery, all so that the people could collaborate and communicate with ease; the “maestro of the micro”, creator of a profitable universe forever to be known as Macworld. | | Cashmandue | Bill Gates always said "A college degree is not required to have a nice PAD" | | Jack | "See - I told you good design would pay off!" | | Bellevue | A man of wisdom and creativity who transformed the letter 'i' into something much larger than l'i'fe! | | kbk | iMac'ed all over DELL and wiped my Pod with a Zune. | | dino | I like you. Now I must crush you. | | Demanuel | The genius cofounder of Apple, Next, and Pixar made computers work for people instead of the other way around. | | Actuary | "Harvesting Apples in the Apricot Orchards with all “EYES” focused on what’s NeXt" | | Ask | "Bill Gates stole my code and my lunch money so when I grew up I kicked his ass and got my lunch money back" | | Homey | img97.imageshack.us/img97/5651/ihatea.jpg | | Rich | It was the best of times and the worst of times when an overfed, long haired leaping gnome named Steve began his world domination. | | Sloop | "Started in his parents garage ended changing the world" | | Exabi | iCame, iSaw, iConquered |

People don't seem to be voting all 3 of their choices  If you didn't you can go back and fix it. 13 voters x 3 votes should be 39 ;D |

Or maybe strategically lazy...that last 10% of the gain would have required 90% of the effort. |

The Company had decided that the #1 was 'too big to compete with' so instead they told all the employees 'we just want to be a great #2'
As it turns out, about 10 years after that proclamation, they turned themselves into a Crappy #2 and otherwise forgettable except to a small niche.
