> there'd probably be many people preaching the gospel according to Wozniak.

I think I probably would prefer that.

Mee to, I guess. On the other hand, Woz had to be dragged out of his job at HP. So without Jobs there probably would've been no Apple either.

The link between Jobs/Wozniak and Zuckerberg is interesting. I would certainly consider Zuckerberg a hacker, but not nearly in the same realm as Jobs and Wozniak.

Facebook is a product of the modern day web environment. Its longevity has yet to be seen. If 2015 rolls around and its a public company that is still innovating then thats one thing, but if it becomes more of a cluttered site in its pursuit to be more like -insert recently popular site here (currently twitter)- then thats another.

That's irrelevant. If the problem is people attributing a company's success to one person, trading one person for another doesn't solve anything.
