Actually, as a human being, I think Jobs was nothing more than a huge turd. I hate the whole planned obsolescense, exclusivity-ridden, monolithic me-or-hit-the-highway attitude of what in the end is a just a bunch of tools. And I hate his cult-like marketing, his treatment of his daughter, and the fact that he's treated as a martyr by all the tech drones. He was VERY well paid for whatever giggles he brought to your life. Too well paid. You don't owe him anything - you've paid it already, in the only way that he understood, money and megalomaniacal theatre.He was just another businessman, when all is said and done, and like most of the biggest ones, he made some popular products, and he was a total asshole and a selfish, childish little prick. And don't give me all that bullshit about changing the world. Listen,
sonny, the world ain't changed all that much. Trust me. You want a hero? You want earth shattering change? You want someone you can cry over? Then take the hint offered in the above article and look up the death of
Fred Shuttlesworth. He wasn't a billionaire, and he didn't have a bunch of asperger's brats beating off to his photograph. He's the real deal.
