“After Steve Jobs returned to the ruins of his life’s work, he froze the charity-programs of Apple; fourteen years later, they stay frozen altough Apple is the most valuable firm of the world, with the exception of 100k$. In comparison, other major technology firms spend tens of millions per year!”
Major edit: found an english source, replaced the german source.
I did not mean charity, but Utilons. As in: designing awesome products for their customers.
The future now will show how much of Apples success is related to Jobs, and how much he succeeded in transmitting his creativity (or however that what he does is called) to the next generation of Apple leaders.
I wonder on what scale such utilons would be measured; Apple is one of the least philantropic firms in the US!
