Steve Jobs - Tweaker

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/11/14/111114fa_fact_gladwell

As usual, I enjoyed Gladwell's explanation of the influence that Jobs has had and why he had it. As with much of Gladwell's work, the argument is that genius is seldom (and less and less so) the lone individual creating ex-nihilo but someone why knows greatness "when he sees it" and then "tweaks" from there to create something much more refined.
