   Any thoughts you care to share, Steve, on Larry E.’s recent comments about Apple post-Jobs? I’m not sure if they dug Larry up to do press for the new Jobs movie, or what; seems like he should be out sailing somewhere instead.

   Does history repeat or does it rhyme?

   Does the organization respect the hive mind long after the queen bee is gone?

   If Jobs is as intuitively brilliant as I think he is, he will have instantiated a cultural and normative vector for symbolic immortality, in a way he would not have had to worry about the first time around…

   Wonderful! Comparing Elon Musk and Steve Jobs can be seen as the world class sport game, both to watch and admire with a few basic rules that need here to be considered. Steve J. Congrats on the interview! Fantastic!

   I always felt that one of Steve’s biggest goals as CEO was to create a company at which a person like him could succeed.

   I think from my reading of Jobs, that he was an artist, obsessive, personal, non-transferable and perfectionist (think Picasso) and Apple was his "studio" and that without him Apple produces "in the manner of Steve Jobs" and IMHO with Jobs gone, Samsung-Google is going to totally eat Apple’s lunch and rather soon.

   Congrats on the #Tesla S "safest car ever tested" rating: http://www.teslamotors.com/about/press/releases/tesla-model-s-ac... Love that it broke their test rig for "roof crushing." Hehheh.
