"I don't want to see us descend into a nation of bloggers myself," Apple's Steve Jobs said. "Anything that we can do to help the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal find new ways of expression so they can afford to get paid, so they can afford to keep their editorial operations intact, I'm all for it."
Imagine if when Apple was founded, some rich and powerful business executive had said, "I don't want to see us descend into a nation of personal computer users myself...Anything that we can do to help IBM, Digital, Wang and Burroughs keep getting paid, so they can afford to keep their research and development operations and salesforces intact, I'm all for it."
