Jobs Replaces Spielberg as ‘King of New Entertainment’?
Sunday, February 19th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by Brad Cook
With the iPod an enormous success and Disney's recent purchase of Pixar under his belt, Apple CEO Steve Jobs may be the "king of new entertainment," writes Bob Keefe for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Jeffrey Young, author of a pair of books about Mr. Jobs and Apple, told Mr. Keefe: "He's assumed the place that [producer-director Steven] Spielberg had."
Pointing to Mr. Jobs' recent successes, Mr. Keefe relates a quote from Paul Saffo, director of a Silicon Valley think tank: "Steve is a very driven man making a point -- that he's the best and the smartest and that he can change the world. This guy comes down to a mix of three things: pragmatism, idealism and sheer drive."
Apple has been expected to introduce a media center computer but hasn't done so yet, Mr. Keefe notes, leading UCLA professor George Geis to speculate that the company may be working on "technology to seamlessly move entertainment across home televisions and computers, iPods, cellphones and other devices." Mr. Geis said: "Sometime in the immediate run, maybe two or three years out, I think he'll be able to create one big experiment ... one big new thing ... that if successful will forever change the [entertainment] business."
Mr. Keefe's article includes more insights from others, as well as a timeline of important events in Mr. Jobs' life.
