There’s evidently no stopping this guy or his creations. In technology and business circles, 2010 will go down as the year of the Apple. This year the iPad became the vanguard of tablet computers, the iPhone 4 successfully shook off design flaws to become a best-seller, and Apple overtook Microsoft to become the world’s most valuable tech company. Amazing for a business threatened with extinction a decade ago. Credit for all this goes to CEO Steve Jobs, whose tyrannical focus on product esthetics generates fanatical enthusiasm among customers.
