whether you personally resent jobs or not is another story-- you can hate him all you want but that does not take away his visionary (yes, i said that) leadership of the company he founded, was kicked out of, and rescued from oblivion--after founding fucking pixar, i might add. even if it's leadership at making money, which you apparently detest, it wasn't by selling herba-life or paper diapers, it was by making some really cool shit and blowing everybody else out of the water with quality and beautiful products. he's no holy man, but fuck, he did change the world, whether we like it or not.
anyway, i don't know why i'm trying to convince you, i'm really not, it doesn't matter.
for the record, i'm not an apple cultist, and i have plenty of criticism for that company, but i'd have to be blind to ignore the changes the stalinist little fucker brought to the world. not bad ones, actually-- for my taste anyway.

I dont wanna make it sound like i only respect people who toil in obscurity, thats a fallacy of course and there are plenty of people who are rich and deserve it. And i dont wanna make it sound like I have any personal dislike for Mr Jobs, im completely indifferent to his achievements and his products, what i really dislike is this cult of personality that gets bestowed on people whos first goal was always making money for themselves - trump, branson etc.
cod-philosophy wise, ive just been bombarded with his quotes and speeches on facebook and the news these last couple of days, its as though Mandela died ffs. So yknow, i find the Thomas Paines and George Orwells of the world a little more inspiring than that.
