Jobs wasn't innovative, he knew innovative people and took their credit. He was a businessman.

    The fact you believe this just proves how big of a scam artist he was.

    His biggest success (and scam) was how he sold himself as being some tech god, which is still believed by many even this long after his death.

    He worked very hard to make you think this, yeah. Meanwhile all the people doing the work remained pretty obscure.

    Awww, someone is having a temper tantrum.

    While I usually encourage punching up, maybe you shouldn't do that with the average internet moron.

    No content, only crying and whining? Classic tantrum.

    you're just reaffirming all my assumptions about you.

    All the assumptions? Reaffirmed?!

    The average internet user is a moron.

    Yet even they still keep showing you up. That has to sting.
