This was really inspirational and very entertaining.

Steve Jobs is some guy.A real rags to riches and riches to rags and rags to riches story

. If that's ever been done before

and his return to Apple was a business brought back to success from the brink of failure .His success was also because of toy story.. never knew that.

Thanks Displaced Dub.

Think it was steve jobs and bill gates both stole the mouse from xerox, and the desktop system with folders etc. that we all know and love. DOS i believe it was...

Spot on Xios.

A really good movie on the subject called Pirates of Silicon Valley is well worth a watch.

You should probably qualify that .... I might look at FB but it would depend at what multiple it floats and what the cash-flows and balance sheet look like at the time.

Thanks for posting the vids.

I just have a hunch about FB, nothing concrete tbh, it will be a revenue generating machine as far as advertisement goes.

Obviously i like others here will wait for the announcement of the ipo and then look at it a bit deeper. Google floated at approx $100.00 and is now slightly over the $600 mark and i see FB going the same way.

Arggh, I thought we were getting through to you, especially after we got you to dump those bank stocks!

Bebo was bought by AOL for $850 million, just over a year later, it was sold on for $2.5 million. That's a 99.5% loss on their investment. Would you rather be safe with your money, or sorry?
