My two cents; Cuba is going to be Trump’s Vietnam. He believes it is easy pickings after Venezuela and Iran, but it will more likely break him if he goes there next. Iran might end up being similar to the Korean war; takes too long, war exhaustion sets in, country gets cut in half.

You spelled Microslop wrong.

You’re wrong on Steve Jobs.

Steve Wozniak made the Apple I design, after which the Apple Industrial Design Group took over, with Jerry Manock at the helm. Jerry Manock together with Terry Oyama made the Apple II, III, and early Macintoshes, with Jobs on the side.

That design team also had Bill Dresselhaus (responsible for the Lisa) and Rob Gemmell (responsible for the Apple IIe & IIc) who worked alone on their designs with Jobs simply signing off on them after having seen them.

The Snow White design language which was iconic for Apple’s style throughout the late 80s was developed out of house by German-American Hartmut Esslinger’s Frog Design. Again, Jobs simply signed off on them and let the design team do their thing.

Jobs was more of a business strategist and knew he could put his face and name to the product so people would flock to it. This focus on making money over just making good products was why Wozniak had a falling out with him.

Tl;dr: innovation came from other people. Jobs just put his name and face to it.

She should have bit it clean off. Missed opportunity there.
