Oh DT, you know I’m one of your biggest fans – I’m just not a huge fan of Mr. Jobs as a person.

Besides, from my other 50,000 post to this page, you know I’m just not an Apple fan in general so I’m just calling it as I see it.

I'm sorry DT, but I have to agree with the masses here.

Steve Jobs wasn't anything but a smart business man and a master of marketing: he took ideas that already existed and made them available to the masses at a over-inflated price but people bought into them. Why? Because he could sell you a Toyota, charge you the price of a BMW and make you feel like you bought a Ferrari. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING Apple has created was the best in its class, nor revolutionary. You want to see revolutionary? Check out Xerox.

@Hannah: No, Steve Jobs was not nice, in fact he was pretty much the epitome of a condescending son of a bitch. Read on how he treated his employees, read how he cut Apple's philanthropy program in '97 and never reinstated it, read how he lied in a court document to cut ties to his daughter; just about everything you read about this man will make you hate him.

What's frustrating is that history, for whatever reason,will mark him as a God. When Gates dies, he'll get a small write up and that will be that: no talk about creating Microsoft which dwarf(ed) Apple, no talk about the billions upon billions he's given to charitable foundations, no anything and he was much more of a remarkable person.

or how about the people who created linux or ubuntu, all android phones use a linux version,besides this guy made the apple system mainly for use with propietary hardware that you had to buy from apple, so if you needed hard drives you had to pay through the nose for a 50 pin ide drive.

He was not the second coming of Jesus, he was not Gandhi, and he did not cure some worldwide illness: He sold phones. Stop making him a saint. He was nice, his death was sad, and he was a leader in his industry but he is not worth the pedestal everyone of you fanboys are putting him on.
