At Aol, We Thought The Killer App

Steve Jobs Always Believed That You Didn't Want To Do Focus Groups Or Research And Ask People What They Wanted. You Wanted To Create Products That They Didn't Know They Wanted Yet And They Would Fall In Love With. And I Think That Was Part Of The Magic Of His Design Philosophy.

I Do Think That People Have An Obligation To Give Back But That Doesn't Necessarily Mean That You Give Back Just The Traditional Way. Maybe There's New Ways To Give Back And Make A Contribution. I'm Looking Forward To Some Mix Of Philanthropy - Maybe Through A Somewhat Different Prism - As Well As Helping Entrepreneurs Build Some Significant New Businesses.

I Think What People Love About The Steve Jobs Story Is Not Just The Track Record At Apple, But That Comeback Story, That He Was Thrown Out Of Apple, Came Back And Built The Company Even Greater. And That Perseverance Is So Important In Terms Of Entrepreneurship. And Nobody Is A Better Role Model For That, For All Entrepreneurs All Over The World Than Steve Jobs.

But The Idea That Some Day People Would Want To Be Able To Interact And Get Stock Quotes And Talk With Other People Or All These Different Things, I Just Believed That Was Going To Happen

It's Silly For Me To Raise Expectations Too Much, But I Think I'm Right On The Basic Trend, Which Is Shifting Power To Consumers.
