Jobs to help save The States

     Steve Jobs told his biographer he wanted to destroy the "corrupt" $8-Billion dollar textbook business....and he specifically criticised the state level "certification" process. He said it was inefficient:

“If we can make textbooks free, and they come with the iPad, then they don't have to be certified,” he told Isaacson. “The crappy economy at the state level will last for a decade, and we can give them an opportunity to circumvent that whole process and save money.”

     So on top of Governor Bentley's comment about 2013 being a terrible year, we have Jobs predicting a decade of bad years. Oh joy!
     We'll have to see how well the textbook company lobbyists have worked the legislature. Or maybe the Governor can sign an executive order making free textbooks a felony.
