Money quote: "Jobs is no longer the 20-something spitfire who raised the Jolly Roger over Bandley and found himself ousted by his hand-picked CEO shortly after the release of the Mac. His choice to pursue a natural alternative to serious surgery was no doubt as carefully considered as the radius of the curved edges of a MacBook. Elkind may consider Jobs' behavior risky, but his willingness to take a chance on something he believes in is arguably one of the factors that have made Apple the success that it is today."
