Apple His Royal Jobsness

Youthful founder gets booted from his company in the 1980s, returns in the 1990s, and in the following decade survives two brushes with death, one securities-law scandal, an also-ran product lineup, and his own often unpleasant demeanor to become the dominant personality in four distinct industries, a billionaire many times over, and CEO of the most valuable company in Silicon Valley.

Applause deserved.

If you're a Woz guy you should read I, Woz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon, if you didn't already. Tons of fun.
