1. Calling Bernanke the brains is a real stretch. Overall I would agree. I'd have the google guys higher and Facebook dude should get an honorable mention. What about the Wikileaks guy? Hey, even Hitler was argueably the most powerful man on earth for a year, it wasn't a good thing.
2. Seems ok. After all even Forbes is entitled to their opinion.
3. They forgot Kim Jong-il - presiding over the world's last literate yet ideologically brainwashed people.
