Steve Jobs was just a businessman whose wealth and success was built on the work and creativity of others, who go unmentioned. There was nothing particularly remarkable or exceptional about Jobs himself.

Really tired of the undue adoration given to CEOs and celebrities these days.

The crude reality?

Steve Jobbs was the hipster poster boy Apple needed/used to get all their sales so high.


As much as I hate Appel, Jobbs did get the company rolling again due to his charisma and appeal to hipsters. He just had the nack to make things that already existed but rarely used, popular to the general consumer. So as a business man he did good (notice no extra adjectives). He is however, far from being an innovator, inventor or genius.

+Rep to Plan 9. Haven't seen a calm, collected and eloquent poster informing people (with proper facts) the way you do in an Apple thread, ever. Kudos!

There is old footage of Steve jobs pushing an employee into a wall. He was just a good salesman. Nothing else.

agreed.

read the full bio. He was a complete a**hole to everyone around him. I'm not happy he's dead, no one save child molesters should have to die early, but I hate this 'great man' crap. He never deserved the success or the money and respect he had. none of it.
