there not many in the US like Steve Jobs, (visionary, critical, etc) when Apple was down it was Steve who steer it back, with slew of new consumer products that world craving for. He's the guru who knows what the market wants, those days it was apple, Macs, now it's ipad, iphone, etc.

when apple wants a new CEO, steve hire Sculley (the pepsi guy), but sculley could not deliver what Steve wanted, Sculley fired Steve and down Apple goes. 10 yrs later when Apple buy Next (steve new co) and Steve was back into Apple and how he revive back Apple with the current products.

So he's ailing now, hair almost gone, and the familiar smile also gone, and he's no longer in the driver seat, i bet Apple can never find a guru like him anymore.
Even Bill gates of microsoft is aging, so it's the new blood shud take the driver seat... somebody of the Facebook's Mark or Google's criteria to lead co like Apple into the future with new consumer products.

America can produce at any particular time only a handful of smart people, can't produce that many.

History has it that the earlier part technology entrepeneurs came from East coast, then 2000 onwards it was Silicon Valley from the west coast/California.

so next wave will be from????? dunno....
