[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contrary to popular misconception, Steve Jobs didn't actually invent all the apple gadgets in his basement, he hired the right inventors and licensed/bought patents of already invented products to build great products. That's why Apple is always going at it with Google, RIMM and Nokia, the ITC has probably had it up to here with their suits.

He is a visionary alright but I don't get the comparison to Edison and the last I checked, Apple is a company not Steve Jobs. [/quote]

That is exactly why he is being compared to Edison.  Do you think Edison has over a 1000 patents to his name because he invented each and every device?  He was an entrepreneur as much as he was a scientist, and his huge lab in Menlo Park employed dozens of scientists at any given time.  There were also debates about the legitimacy of some of the patents, debates about whether Edison was a "good" person or not, etc. Nevertheless, a century later we still refer to him and I would wager that we will still be referring to Steve Jobs a century from now.  There are not that many people that you can say that about.[/quote]
