A little thought please ?
« on: October 16, 2011, 06:40:00 PM »
Without Steve Jobs we would have:
No iProducts
No over expensive laptops

Without Dennis Ritchie we would have:
No Windows
No Unix
No C
No Programs
A large setback in computing
No Generic-text Languages.
We would all read in Binary.

if you remove the hype around Steve Jobs you are left with a marketing genius who had an eye for detail. I don't know much about the other gentleman besides that he created Unix OS and C language. It is akin to comparing apples and oranges. pun obviously intended.

Any thoughts please ?

I am not trying to be biased here guys. Offcourse Steve was a genius as well but what would you do of a car if you don't have the gas to run it.

...
 Rani  I wish people could appreciate Dennis Ritchie as well :wow:

That's what geniuses usually do, they take an existing product and make it better.

These days it's marketing that sells product more than anything else.

Remember reading about Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson and Brian Kernighan are some of the first names that I learned when I got into programming. It's not worth comparing what media portrays or what the popular people think is most relevant. But good post in highlighting his achievement.
