Steve Jobs just died

Quote from keeptradin':


Also, Ford did not invent the automobile, the same way Jobs did not invent the computer. They found ways to market them in a way that encouraged mass-consumption, and became famous as a result.

The two had nothing in common. Henry Ford instituted the assembly line in car construction, hence being able to pump out cheap affordable cars at a rate to fulfill growing demand. It had nothing to do with marketing. He also busted his ass, yet was very honest about the fact that to become a mogul of his stature, you have to employ of immoral and borderline criminal tactics to get ahead.
 
Quote from r-in:

I think the marketing gurus of the world lost a great one.

Not before they copied his strategies. It was actually very similar to the marketing of Volkswagen back in the day. Now Prius is tapping the same demographic.
