Eric Schmidt has passed Steve Jobs on this thing? That has to have been the most lucrative hiring for anyone ever.

Uh, Ballmer, who is somewhat less effective than Schmidt.

Dammit. While typing this the stupid Forbes website advanced the slide, EVEN THOUGH I pressed "stop".

Worst. Web. Design. Ever.

Oh, there. It did it again...

Oh, of course! My mistake. Now, Ballmer has been with Microsoft since 1980, so perhaps factor in the extra twenty years between the two. But yeah, he's almost cracked the top ten.

And yes, Forbes's inscrutable affection for slideshows is exasperating.

My favorite part of the annual issue is the bits about how people got their start. A surprising number of them seem to have bounced back from living in their car / not having a home, job, money - but then skyrocketing. I bet their perspective of risk changed dramatically.
