    Did anyone watch the documentary on Steve Jobs last night?????

    That guy was a creepy snake scoundrel. If he had not died from cancer someone that he double crossed would have killed him. Smart as hell, but a low down dirty shame of a human being.

    snake - sure, but show me a BIG name in business who wasn't...JP Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller - all of them pretty much glorified thieves...what some see as drive and desire, another calls greed.

    Thank goodness theres no one like that in the sports betting landscape. (Super intelligent and driven I mean - Lots of wanna be snakes out there - just none who can put all the pieces together, yet)

    Business is a dirty game...

    Just look at the army of ghost accounts used to protect Players Talk...

    I can only imagine what goes on behind the scenes of the multi-million dollar businesses!

    Not necessarily. There are many ways to skin a cat. Ruthless can backfire. Zuckerberg doesn't seem ruthless. Facebook did alright.

    Was worth 200 million but paid only 500 dollars a month in child support. Stopped ALL philanthropic giving from APPLE, stole his best friend's idea and took it to Atari then lied about how much they were paid. They were paid 7 thousand dollars but he gave his best friend 350 dollars, made an agreement with Google and other tech companies that they wouldn't hire each other's employee's so he could treat them like shit and would have to put up with his bullshit and had no where else to go. Loved things and used people. Just a few of the things that were documented..............I will bet none of this would have come out if he were not dead, people are only speaking out because he can't penetrate them over anymore, and not ONE person has come out to defend his ass, no friends or family
