Steve Jobs is Dead

Steve JobsI am no Apple fan and never did like working on a Mac. But I gotta hand it to this guy for being a top-notch entrepreneur. The last time I checked, the market share was 89.2% for PC/Windows users and only 10.8% Mac. With that in mind, it boggles me on how Apple still manages to surpass Bill Gate’s Microsoft in terms of profits.

And just when you thought it stopped there, Apple continues to dominate the music industry with the sales of its iPods (eliminating CDs) and downloads via iTunes much to the ire of music record labels.

And the best research I read some time back and can still remember today is, if you are an app developer, the chances of you making money from your app is better with Apple than Google’s android because Apple have “trained” its users to make purchases compared to Android users who will most of the time download Free apps only.

If Apple is a Government, I bet it will kick so much a$$.

Steve Jobs dies at 56.

I don’t think Apple will EVER be the same again,

PS: Steve Jobs was a college dropout and still managed to be CEO of Apple. If Steve Jobs was born in Singapore, he will probably be in ITE and working for a struggling SME or low ranking IT personnel with the SG Govt. Even if he showed brilliance, his history of having not completed his tertiary education will affect his opportunities by the backward, zero wisdom, paper-qualifications-is-everything SG education/work system. Explain that MOE!

    RIP Steve Jobs.

    I agree with EB 100% that if he is born in Singapore, he will be a nobody.

    Hey! What if EB is not a Singaporean? Would EB go full time to do this website (might not make millions, but won’t be starving)?

    It is conservative to say less than 0.1% of any entrepreneurs can strike it big, but at least if there are more trying, it means there will be some decent hits.

    Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard. You know of any Singaporean parents that will allow that to happen? Bear in mind, Bill Gates is not the only dropout from Harvard, and there are many others who-we-would-never-know-their-names.

    But what make these people willing to go the tough route? The Singapore Government is trying to encourage entrepreneurship (luring NUS/NTU undergraduates) but this approach is wrong! The Singapore Government should do this instead: do not discourage entrepreneurship by making failures more acceptable.

    The kiasu culture exists because there is a reason behind it.
