Fortune names Jobs "CEO of the Decade"
Consider this incredible fact: Apple launched OS X and iTunes, opened the first two retail stores and introduced the first iPod ... all in the same year (2001). Fortune also goes on to describe how Steve changed the film industry with Pixar, the music industry with the iTunes Store and the cell phone industry with the iPhone and the App Store.
He also kicked cancer's ass.
This is precisely why I'm excited about the prospect of a new piece of hardware from Apple. I won't call it a tablet because that's not what it will be. Apple didn't invent the digital music player, the mobile phone or mass distribution of media. But, they did demonstrate how to do those things the right way, which no one else could come up with.
If there's a new product coming, comparing it to contemporary tablets or netbooks is a huge mistake, because it won't behave like any of them.

Cheer up! Life's short and computers are more powerful and amazing than ever. Have fun!
He's also secretly chuck noris' father.

Has Fortune done a CEO of the decade before now? I can't find any record of it, but Steve is a good place to start.
"He also kicked cancer's a**."
I LOL'd when I read that. Although, given everything Steve has accomplished in the last decade, it's no wonder people think so highly of him.
I fixed it, things happen, thanks for the love.
Sometimes I wish this site had a like/dislike rating system (that also acts like a bookmark system for the articles you like). I would have checked this "like"
