Google's Eric Schmidt's shock confession: Steve Jobs is.... MY HERO

Google supremo Eric Schmidt has claimed that Steve Jobs was his "hero" and said that we should all endeavour to "be a small percentage" of the Apple godhead. This might sound like he's encouraging time-travel cannibalism, but it's really just a call for everyone to do their bit to change the world. He doesn't mean properly …

If they ever do a 'parody' of Job's life.

William Shatner....dunno bout Wozz though?

[DropBear]

Ewww, ewww, ewwwwwww.....

Oh hell no. I sincerely hope I'm nothing even remotely like that guy.

Pirates of Silicon Valley

Pirates of Silicon Valley Will do fine thank you, we don't need another movie. It captured the spirit of the times pretty well and even the actors resemble Woz, Steve, Steve and Bill.

In the mean time, if you need a good read about Apple history, one could do worse than start at folklore.org. It's a collection of stories written by members of the original Macintosh team. Inspiring.

Of course his hero is Jobs. Many of Google's best ideas came from Apple.

Nobody cares about Steve Jobs, get over him already.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK

Could this be the first time that Apple has to play catchup?

[Ol' Grumpy]

Another great term ...

"fruity führer"

Brilliant.

[RobHib]

Oh dear!

For heaven's sake, that's both a huge revelation and a real worry.

Perhaps, without knowing it, that's the reason I stated using Ixquick and other specialist search engines a while ago.

Jobs got away with a lot of outright illegal activity. He just didn't care if it was illegal, because he was Steve Jobs. And then he died, pretty much untouched by consequences for any of it. As an evil CEO, Schmidt's gotta admire that. Except the death bit.

So we should all park in handicapped spaces, dispute being fully able-bodied?

"... despite recently being compared to Aristotle, the great Steve"

Finally, after almost 2300 years, Aristotle is geting the buzz he deserves.

[Rampant Spaniel]

And how many of the mighty jobs' s Iminions were upset that Steve was compared to their barista?

at the risk of sounding serious

I honestly don't know who makes me want to vomit more, schmidt and a lot of his illegal activities, or jobs (god rest his soul) and the countless uproars he caused.

[MrT]

Sorry, I'm too busy...

...oh, you meant the other bloke...

And I don't mean Tom Tolbert.

To play Steve Jobs, get Wes Bentley, the guy who played evil Gamemaker Seneca Crane in the first Hunger Games flick. That performance was a Steve Jobs impersonation all the way.

[Anonymous Coward]

For his abilities in avoiding tax, perhaps?

Schmidt seems to have picked some tips from somewhere
