Bottom line - Apple I .. Jobs and Woz deserve it. If no Apple, then no IBM, Microsoft, etc.

Hey Chetroia, get over yourself. Torvalds hasn't done anything lasting at this point, except be a poor geek like a lot of you whiners. It is a stupid survey as Gates, Jobs, Sergey/Larry and Bezos ALL deserve to be in a tech "hall of fame" among many others, such as Hewlett and Packard, Michael Dell, Andy Grove, etc.

How about XEROX ? Without them, there would be no debate. Check out "Pirates of Silicon Valley"

Hey Chetroia--I guess the survey "suks" because you have a different opinion huh? You must get disappointed alot. Get over yourself.

I agree, it's a stupid survey, they all deserve to be in the tech "hall of fame" without question. Is this going to be featured on the next 60 minutes? Where do you find the full-length interviews/show of each?
