Why Mark Zuckerberg is The Heir to Steve Jobs Legacy ?

Markets are supposed to be heartless, but in the last weeks of Steve Jobs‘s life, the stock market did him a small kindness, making the company he founded, briefly, the world’s largest in terms of its market capitalization. At $354 billion, it remains the biggest technology firm by a wide margin.

There are, for starters, the superficial comparisons. Both men dropped out of college (Jobs from Reed, Zuckerberg from Harvard) and founded their empires at an early age, though that’s almost more the norm than the exception for computer whizzes. Both rose to become cultish figures who commanded the world’s attention with annual razzle-dazzle shows, though Facebook’s F8 always seemed self-consciously modeled on Apple’s MacWorld, and Zuckerberg is miles behind in the showmanship department.That won’t be the case much longer if you believe Scott Galloway, the investor and business school professor, who this week predicted that Facebook will surpass Apple (and ExxonMobil) in size within two years. In a way, though, that would also be fitting. As an entrepreneur, Jobs was surely sui generis, but if there’s someone out there who deserves to be compared to him, it’s Facebook’s creator, Mark Zuckerberg.

There are superficial differences, too. Jobs ticked off publishers with his parsimony toward his customers’ personal data. Zuckerberg is perhaps the leading force chipping away at consumers’ expectations of digital privacy. Jobs’s most salient quality was his perfectionism, which makes sense if you’re a hardware maker who in a given year only gets a couple bites at the apple (no pun intended). Zuckerberg can afford to be more casual about iterating; his focus is on dominance. Whereas Apple for most of its lifespan has been an upstart, a connoisseur’s alternative, Facebook almost from Day 1 has envisioned itself as ubiquitous — a dream now amazingly close to reality.

The real similarity is deeper than any of this.

Where Zuckerberg most resembles Jobs is in the strength of conviction he places in his vision. In a world where consumers have ever more choice and an ever louder voice. Jobs always knew that customers who thought they wanted lots of buttons and a removable battery would be seduced by the simplicity and beauty of his devices. You saw that confidence as recently as this week, when Apple held its fire and rolled out the iPhone 4GS rather than rush out a 5G version, as everyone was expecting.

Likewise, Zuckerberg has managed to court the masses without ever submitting to the so-called wisdom of the crowd. He’s never wavered in his belief that he’s doing users a service, not an injury, by pushing them to weave the social graph ever deeper into their lives. The yelps we’re hearing now over “passive sharing” will fade into the background hum, like all the protests that came before. Facebook will continue to evolve, not in response to what its users want, but in accordance with what Zuckerberg knows they’ll end up thanking him for.

As companies, Facebook and Apple may not see eye to eye. But their founders are kindred spirits.

US President in talking with Facebook CEO

How amazing it is to witness two of the most anticipated people talking one on one. Here it is ...

Barack Obama speaking with Mark Zuckerberg

The episode which the entire nation witnessed. A simple guy from Champaran, Bihar sat on the Hot seat with The Bollywood Legend, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. A simple game of Question-Answer transformed into the biggest entertainment shows. The show, smartly changing lives of many through out India in more than financial manner. For some, it changed the situations of their families, for some, it was sheer pleasure to be in front of their Idol and getting a chance to meet him personally. The show that actually made the nation sit in front of television for that one hour.

History being written as the nervous Sushil Kumar answers the question that fetched him Rs 50000000.
A computer operator whose monthly salary was Rs 6000. He played the game beautifully. Answers were reasoned. I don't know if yesterday's result was deliberately scripted or it was real smartness of Sushil Kumar. I just know that it was a moment of Joy & Excitement. Sushil Kumar and his family were lucky to share the life changing moment with the Legend himself.

Since childhood, I am being taught, "Be an Opportunist". In my mind I always wondered what exactly and Opportunist does. KBC answered my doubts.

Sushil Kumar - The Opportunist

A simple, excited & nervous guy from Champaran. A guy who could only dream of earning Rs 50000000 in his lifetime. A guy who could only dream of giving his family a life they always dreamed of living. He was only a computer operator and a tutor. As soon as he got selected for the hot seat he saw the opportunity of a lifetime. The one time opportunity that could change his life. He knew it well within that he could win the amount if he played smartly. Using his knowledge and the life lines at the right time, he carved his name in history.
