Sad about Steve Jobs. On par with Henry Ford, Carnegie and Edison.
This is quite sensible, although Edison is a bridge too far. This is what he was really good at: Business and marketing, with a bit of invention on the side.
People are basically attributing all of 20th/21st century culture to him. Artists, writers, movie-makers all gushing about how Jobs made everything they do possible. Nonsense. It would all have happened without him, with the likely exception of Pixar (which is a huge accomplishment of course). It's not like Photoshop can't run on PC, people. Or that mp3 players would never have become popular without iPods. What, we'd all still be listening to tape Walkmans or Minidisc players?
