Steve Jobs - Second Influential Man In IT!

We all know Apple is a company that opened so many roads in computing so far, and despite the claims their latest products didn't come with as many innovations as before (and I can't totally disagree with that, unfortunately), it seems every "best brand" or "most innovative company" top has Apple in the first positions. Today, I found out about an interesting top about people, not companies, and you definitely have to find out more about Steve Jobs' position!

Steve Jobs in the 80s

Ziff Davis Enterprise editors named the people shaping the future of technology, and the results of this "100 Most Influential People in IT" top are very interesting. Larry Ellison, Oracle's CEO, gets first position, followed by our beloved Steve Jobs, and Microsoft's Steve Ballmer(!?!).

Other interesting IT personalities that can be found in this top are Marissa Mayer, Vice president, search products and user experience at Google, ranked 5th, Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's Chief software architect (13th), Brendan Eich
CTO, Mozilla Corp. (30th), or the 24 year old Matt Mullenweg, WordPress Co-founder (I love you and hate you at the same time!).

To see the entire list and draw your conclusions, go to this page, but remember to get back here and tell us who got too high, too low, or no position at all in this list!
