Speaking of virtual love-fests, there's a new site worth checking out called the Steve Jobs Helipad. (The title, faithful viewers will no doubt realize, is a reference to the helipad Steve recently had built in order to allow him to commute between Apple and Pixar via helicopter.) This is the first site we've encountered dedicated to complete and utter adoration of Apple's interim CEO, and it serves quite well as a one-stop Steve shop. Head on over to read a Jobs bio, check out some news clippings, look at some photos, and even leave an open letter to Steve. If you're of the opinion that Steve's ego is already too big by half, you may want to stay away-- a site like this one threatens to give him an outright god complex (assuming he doesn't have one already).

Of course, since it's a new site, the Helipad doesn't even come close to the best-known Bill Gates fawn-a-thon known as Team Gates, which offers a slew of information for people who eschew being like Mike in favor of wanting to be like Bill. Team Gates takes the cake for even providing a page on which you can enter your first and last name and see what your email address would look like if you worked at Microsoft, so you can fantasize about that perfect job. We kid you not. And despite our continued skepticism that the site could possibly be anything but a parody, people continually insist to us that the whole thing is done in earnest.

Of course, the real sign of success in business is not how many sites praise you to the skies, but how many utterly despise you. After all, it's one thing to build a site dedicated to someone you admire, but it's a whole different ballpark when you're willing to spend time and energy putting together a site just to voice your utter hatred of someone. On that note, an Alta Vista search reveals 123 documents containing the phrase "I hate Bill Gates," which is the real indication that Bill is a success in the computer world. Who knows? Perhaps some day Steve Jobs can be just as despised. C'mon Steve, something to shoot for!
