#4 Interesting how the 90s power companies had a leader and soul for lack of a better word:
Steve Jobs and Woz
Bill Gates and Allen
McNeally and Bill Joy

All eventually lost their soul and became different than when they started.

Then the next generation Facebook, twitter, etc and company seemed to be just one guy with no soul to hold them back.

Their application development kept them in good standing.
