Apple after the bell 10/31/06: Steve Jobs a top ten IT person

Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) ended the day up 66 cents or 0.82%, finishing at $81.08. Again this has been a rather stable week for Apple, no doubt people are focusing more on the upcoming winter sales season before making heavier bets on Apple.

Steve Jobs ever solid high profile in the IT world continues on: ComputerWeekly just named Jobs one of the top 10 greatest IT people. The article is a nod to the turnaround Apple has undergone since Jobs returned to the helm of the company, and shows how integral Jobs is to Apple.

Despite those media kudos, the MacObserver does note some recent hits Apple has taken to its image with the MacBook random shutdowns. Two rebuttals can be found to the concerns raised. One is that Apple's quality control is slipping, which can be disproved by checking out the last consumer reports analysis, where Apple's QC and customer satisfaction lead the pack. The second is the specific worry about the MacBook, which Apple has released a fix for.
