Why Steve Jobs Didn't Take Over Apple Back In 1997 [Steve Jobs]
Gizmodo —
Back in 1997, Larry Ellison was on a beach in Hawaii. After sipping his second Margarita that evening, he turned to his pal Steve Jobs, who was listening to Bob Dylan on his Sony Walkman. "Steve...Steve...STEVE! Hey, let's buy Apple." The Oracle CEO had all the money lined up, ready to buy the triumphant return of Caesar. But Steve didn't want that kind of comeback. He thought that, if he proceeded with a takeover, people would think he was just greedy, wanting to make money out of the company. In Ellison's own words: He explained to me that with the moral high ground, he thought he could make decisions more easily and more gracefully. ...

Apple doesn't want to be a successful business?
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
Very good post at Computerworld from Mike Elgan about Apple, though I'd venture that a lot of you already know this:
