Jobs
Various Cinemas
Jessica Stauffer may not attend, but surely the Apple cult will turn out in droves. Yep, I’m among them. I’m looking forward to getting a glimpse into the success of Apple under Jobs, its slight decline after his ouster, and its unimaginable success after his return. The biggest ideas do very well with a creative, non-conformist ENTJ at the helm setting direction, not a bean counter who plays it safe. Be sure to check showtimes on your iPhone…
