"The Man Who Inspired Jobs", by Christopher Bonanos

I don't do this very often, but above is a link to a great article about one of the men who inspired Steve Jobs, Edwin Land, who was the genius behind the Polaroid Corporation and inventor of instant photography, who just like Jobs, changed the way we take, view and share photographs.

This article about Edwin Land and the story of the SX70 camera development is also worth a read. Very interesting parallels with Steve Jobs.
