  • other/none of the above

Jobs > *

Jobs has a decade+ track record of knocking it out of the park. No innovator in any industry has such a record in recent history.

Bill Gates pioneered monetization of software and I will give him credit for that. Everything since has been an enormous POS. Windows is still weighed down by two decades of bad engineering. His philanthropy is respectable but ultimately is canceled out in my book by his responsibility in stagnating the entire industry with his illegal predatory monopoly tactics of the 90's.

Zuckerberg shouldn't even be on the list. One trick pony. He needs to accomplish something other than Facebook to make the list.

This could possible be one of the most retarded things I've read in a long time. 🙄 LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Yes saving millions of kids from starvation and death, single-handedly (well not by himself lol) being responsible for some of the largest improvements Africa has seen in decades in healthcare, donating billions to basic vaccine, HIV, Malaria, TB, and parasitic disease research and more. All cancelled out cause WINDORZ IZ BADSZ.

Billy boy. He doesn't come off as a prick, even if he's a cut-throat businessman. And he gives money away and makes it known.

How about all the billions he sucked out of the tech industry in the 90s? How many startups were destroyed by Microsoft entering their market with the sole intention of taking over? Embrace and extend.

Anybody can sign a check for charity. It takes a heartless prick to shut innovative startups down just to make a multi-billion dollar outfit a few more million.
