Winfrey saw television's power to blend public and private; while it links strangers and conveys information over public airwaves, TV is most often viewed in the privacy of our homes. Like a family member, it sits down to meals with us and talks to us in the lonely afternoons. Grasping this paradox, Oprah exhorts viewers to improve their lives and the world. She makes people care because she cares. That is Winfrey's genius, and will be her legacy, as the changes she has wrought in the talk show continue to permeate our culture and shape our lives.

"So many companies are competing against each other with similar agendas. Being superficially different is the goal of so many of the products we see. A preoccupation with differentiation is the concern of many corporations rather than trying to innovate and genuinely taking the time, investing the resources and caring enough to try and make something better." - Johnathan Ive interview

Q What were you like in high school?
A Very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined. I played music every day. Rehearsal, practice, piano. I was in plays and in bands. And I got very good grades. I was also a bad-ass. I was the kind of girl who didn't have to listen in class, but would always ace the test and get wasted later with friends. I'm very, very grateful for my education. I think it's one of the things that makes me different as a pop singer in the way that I approach the work and the visuals.
