The Mac defined 'personal technology', and the iPhone defines 'intimate technology' as a convergence of communications, content and location.

Is there anyone out there who is the next Steve Jobs? I think Jeff Bezos is pretty close. He is very smart. He is extremely creative. He has completely reinvented the way in which commerce is done online.
