Speaking of Steve Jobs...my niece did a report on him for school. She chose him because she is obsessed with Apple. I took her to the mall earlier in the year and I told her let's go to any store you want, and pick out something. I meant clothes! She said "Apple!" And she is so sweet, she said, I don't want you to buy me anything, I know it's very expensive, but I like to look there. I knew my brother was surprising her with a mac, so I didn't feel bad, otherwise my heart would have broken! LOL.
She felt so sad that he died, even though she understood he was going to, she even wrote about it in her report. Well, who knows what he has inspired in her, and in so many others.
Just a reminder of who we're talking about here! And that he just died.

Paraphrase - maybe someone posted it but I heard this on NPR yesterday - there were three important apples, Eve's, Newton's, and Jobs'. But having grown up in technology I always had mixed feeling about the proprietary nature of Apple, its attempt to dominate education, and the early constant bugs and viruses. When windows was command line, some kids I was teaching loved the graphical interface of the MAC. Most still find it easier to use than windows or unix. It is amazing what the cell phone has done to our culture with its connectivity to other social media. Personally I find it too often an interruption from life, both social and experienced. Jobs' Next sounded neat but never made it. Reminds me of Polaroid or even Kodak, time often defeats the best ideas.
Another reason though we should honor immigration, A Muslim Syrian child who affected the world and America profited.

Not sure how old she is, but my older nieces, 20 and 16, are the same way. Everything Apple. It is almost cult like. Very devout followers. For very good reason.... Jobs vision was unparallelled in today's world. How many times did he create something where there was no demand and turn it into a 'I MUST HAVE IT' mentality for the world?
The influence his type of visionary leadership has had on so many, especially today's youth, will likely inspire the next Jobs to take that chance, to follow that dream...
He will be sorely missed.
Thank you Captain Obvious

yes, I am a capitalist and I believe in what I invest in. I believe that without funding projects like this, they will never come to be. If this works, and through stage II trials it looks like it will, Cancer detection is going to improve ten fold. If another of their projects is successful, they will be able to replace the current chemotherapy with a much more targeted resolution. Which will help cancer patients tremendously. But it has been 7 years thus far that my capital has been in place, not a dime returned on it. yet to you, people like me shouldn't be able to profit from any of that.
Others like Tom, are invested in the big boys... one of whom will likely buy the rights to my investments products and then in turn market them to the world.
Unfortunately, but much needed, right now it is third world afflictions, like anti malaria drugs. You know, those drugs needed by people who have no money and no insurance.

Who? What non-profit is working on it? ..... and do you know if for-profit firms are ignoring it or are they also working on it?
Just admit you don't know wtf you're talking about....new medicine and discoveries come from research...usually over many years, by dozens and even hundreds of scientists and technicians that get paid salary's and benefits totaling in the millions of dollars....those corporations MUST get that investment back and a profit that will most likely be used for more research .......
Now just give me a groan like the pinhead you insist on being....

I am not sure that profiting is the right word at the moment.
