seems like every post-mortem revelation about Jobs adds up to him being a massive dick

I'm surprised he didn't sue cancer for ripping off his business practice of stealing something good, then claiming it as his own while continually trying to take out whatever competition there was left.

It's true. The joke had potential, but the delivery was off. I would allow a redo...

wow didn't know jobs tried the naturopatic whatever bullshit first. Here I was all disappointed because I was thinking rich CEOs would lead to treatments and that maybe him funding stuff was why he lived so long after diagnosis.

turns out he was drinking juice? lol Money and power doesn't mean you're rational...genius at making tech and marketing it, poor at using medical tech to save him...

honestly tho I doubt he would have lived too much longer

In terms of being a "good human being" Steve Jobs was right on par with Dick Cheney.

I'm glad he's dead and I'll be glad when Dick Cheney dies.

I'll be glad when you die as well. But you won't die, will you? Just like Darth Cheney you refuse to die. You fucking ancient sack of fetid shit.

I think there's a lot of contrast between what people think of Steve Jobs in his public business life compared to his private personal life. Jobs was ruthless in business but I don't think he was so in his personal life. For example, I find it hard to believe that Steve Jobs was not a philanthropist, his wife being instrumental in a number of non-profit organizations for education, women's rights and low income families. I just think that he did donations anonymously. Yet people mostly regard him as a very selfish person.

Steve Jobs is a massive hippie, he experimented with fruit diets and ample amounts of LSD, it's not a far stretch of the imagination to have him to sit under a wireframe pyramid with hanging crystals to cure his cancer. Religion and "faith" make people do weird stuff that most of us would think to be illogical.

Interesting 60 Minutes spot. The iPad / autism link story was very intersting look into how the mind works.
