Perhaps we should reconsider this moral issue related to the whole cloning thing.
Or, Steve should immediately start the development of a "Reality Distortion Field Detector". The prospect with the biggest one gets the "job". It'll have to be very carefully tuned as BS is so often confused with RDF, probably have to run on both PPC and Intel processors to help compensate for that fine line.
Seriously, I've often wondered about it, Steve leaving, or dying for that matter. Unless Apple has becomes a Goliath or at least has a continuous cumulative growth effect when SJ is gone, it will have to be someone with vision, if that latter, then some one who at least knows what he/she has and enough intelligence not to screw it up. Job's can name anyone he likes, and the board might name him, but he could just as well get boated by some different board 5 years down the line.
Anyways, it's a real concern, and who knows, knowing SJ I wouldn't be surprised if he has thought of this and has been building a base built on his vision so it can survive when that day comes. I hope so, I'd love to be using a Mac in 2050.

i'm betting that jobs will bring in an outsider when he's ready to leave though i really can't think of anyone that could fill the role.
hmm, perhaps mark cuban.

One of these days they are going to ask Steve Ballmer to knock it off. Apple will be lucky to have someone like him.

a solitary firefly flies at nite
into the darkness an endless flight
a million flashes of delight.

I think they just need to clone Steve. Have a backup or two just in case.
