[quote MacArtist]He {Jobs} is there to make money...for the stockholders and for himself.
Wow, do you ever NOT get it.
That is NOT why Steve Jobs is there. You have REALLY not been paying attention.
The job of making money for the stockholders falls to others, not Jobs. That is not his focus nor his concern. As for "making money for himself," I would remind you of the following:
1. Steve's annual salary is $1.
2. He gets options, but unless you have no idea what options are, you should know that this is not the same as money. Steve has to SPEND money on options in order to MAKE money on options (and there's a significant risk that he won't make ANY money on options).
3. Steve is already very rich from other ventures. If there's one thing he isn't, it's greedy.
GAAAAAH!
Given that Steve IS NOT and WILL NOT be charged with ANYTHING, and all the quoted and linked reports say over and over that HE DID NOTHING WRONG -- how EXACTLY is he going to be FOUND GUILTY??
And people wonder why I'm fed up with this country. It's not a political problem, it's a comprehension problem!
[quote Carnos Jax]I'd be hesitant to call anyone who regularly frequents this place a troll.
Not me. You're right that there is one person in particular to whom I am referring, and he's a troll. The fact that he occasionally posts something non-trollish doesn't excuse the trollery. Just because Hitler let some Jews live doesn't mean he wasn't a Jew-killer.

If Jobs would be found guilty; fine him. But to remove him from Apple's board would be a mistake.
