I honestly don't get that picture (The Steve Jobs "Facebook Creator" pic). Can someone explain?

I don't even know who the dude in the pic is. (Keep in mind I'm half blind, so my facial recognition skills are near zero.)

That's Woz, the guy that is actually responsible for Apple. And "Facebook" references that Jobs is responsible for EVERYTHING in life (including Facebook).

According to Woz's Wikipedia entry:

In 1970, Wozniak became friends with Steve Jobs, when Jobs worked for the summer at a company where Wozniak was working on a mainframe computer.[2] According to Wozniak's autobiography, iWoz, Jobs had the idea to sell the computer as a fully assembled printed circuit board. Wozniak, at first skeptical, was later convinced by Jobs that even if they were not successful they could at least say to their grandkids they had had their own company.

Sure, Woz was the technical wiz of the operation, but Jobs was the visionary. And part of having a vision and seeing it come to life is to surround yourself with people who can do the things that you need to have done. You saw what happened to Apple when Jobs left, and what happened when he came back. Woz left in 1987, but probably checked out a lot earlier than that. I don't even think he had much (if any involvement) with the first Mac. Without Jobs, there would've been no Apple. If it hadn't have been Woz, it would've been someone else. If it hadn't have been Apple, it would've been some other company. Some people are just destined to be game changers.

Convincing people that what seems impossible is actually possible, and turning skeptics into believers is just as much a skill as soldering a bunch of chips to a circuit board.

Just when Jobs returned after getting fired they were starting to open up the platform and Jobs shut that down again. So who know what would of happened had they've been allowed to follow that path.....with proper management of course.

They would've been out of business

lol

If you want to pay your respects to the guy just leave a note and flowers at your local retail Apple store.
