If you run out of ideas, you start to help the world in the easiest way - by giving away your money.

Jobs hadn't run out of ideas though.

Well put.

I'll add that what's even better then giving away your money is not taking too much in the first place.

Steve Jobs was a multi-billionaire but, as Apple's stock laps the field, it bears noting that Steve's billions are a fraction of what others in similar positions are worth.

Is that supposed to be a jab at Bill Gates?

Not necessarily. Bill Gates didn't just start giving money away, he started spending it in a fairly controlled manner, trying to accomplish well defined goals.

Maybe Bill Gates ran out of ideas how to help using computers, though.

Steve Jobs is 110. It's really quite reasonable if you put it into context.

Wait a minute, are you really putting a negative spin on someone giving away their billions to charity?

They're Apple fanboys, what do you expect. Next they'll start quoting Ayn Rand.

Thankfully Steve himself had far superior cognitive capacity.

Doing both: apparently hard.
