  1. A risk taker.
    A devoted man in all his undertakings.
    An inventor.
    A visionary.
    And alas, a human being...
  2. Watch Apple change.

    No it was a virus that killed him even though he denied its existence!
  5. Steve Jobs was the reason innovation happened @ Apple, not it's main inventor. As long as they adhere to his principals and hew to its inovative streak and not get "focus group itus", they will be fine for years to come. Thank you Steve for giving bright people the push they needed to excell.
    Apple's slogen for the near future and message to the world in thier advertising to the world should go something like this, "Innovation in the Jobs tradition".
  6. Steve Jobs was not a "Genius". He was just a marketing wonk with a cocaine-fueled ego. Steve Wozniak was the real intelligence behind Apple. Wozniak built the first Apple PC's and created the computer's operating system. Steve Jobs cheated Wozniak out of the cash for the first sales. Steve Jobs's only proven ability was in barking out orders for smarter people to follow and pretending to be "smart". It is pathetic that so many nitwits choose the illusion that Steve Jobs had anything in his head behind ego, cruel manipulation, thievery, and bluster.

    Right, cause it was Woz that brought Apple back from the dead in the late 90s/2000s.
