i would say the thing they are greatest at is benefitting themselves. also, they have a great PR department.<i/> You've got to be joking. The QUALCOMM founders have radically transformed San Diego's economy and have allowed the U.S. to have a horse in the wireless race through their brilliance and hard work. They've created thousands of jobs and have laid the groundwork for improving the lives of many people on this planet--you're wrong to lump them in with the corporate leech types who are hired to manage a company who make off with ridiculous amounts of dough. These guys have created a wireless juggernaut from scratch using brains, sheer determination and hustle--e.g., at nearly 70 years of age, the once-retired Irwin Jacobs tirelessly flies around the world to spread the good news. If you think he does it for the money, you are either on drugs or an imbecile. You could count yourself successful if you'd done 1% as much as they have to benefit the world. p.s. I'm also certain that they are not so lazy (or inconsiderate) as to not use their shift key when necessary.
