As if Jobs died completely out of the blue and had not time to, I dunno, use his money for something other than piling it up.

There's also the matter of him turning Apple into one of the lest philanthropic companies in the country, shutting down all of their enterprises and not bringing them back even when they reach record profits.


To the first paragraph, Carnegie did almost nothing until he sold his company for a couple hundred million dollars, after he retired.

The second part is a cool fact but has nothing to do with the first post and my response to it.

Point still stands, the quote you posted doesn't make any sense given that Jobs had a matter of months to do what Carnegie did over the course of 18 years (and yes, Carnegie did almost nothing in terms of philanthropic work until he 'retired).

good topic still though
