I hear ya, and I seriously disliked that motherfucker, but I am trying to give him props where due because neither Woz nor Jony Ive’s genius would have seen the light of day without that insufferable ego maniac. Seriously, he’s the only person I know that literally died of hubris.

The most credit I’ll give him is on understanding design, at least for the idea of making things look nice for marketing purposes. I hear what you’re saying though.

I do think Woz, who is just impressive, would have done well regardless. But I agree, likely not to the same extent of being a name many people know.

Who, of course, was getting dicked over by Jobs before Apple was even a thing, because Jobs was a thief in so many ways. But I digress.

It’s a shame so many idolize that garbage.

Dear lord. When Jobs died, the cult of personality that emerged made me want to hurl. Two movies? Did we really even need one?

You know what I want to see? A comedy about Steve Balmer.

Now that I would watch.

Hell, give me a Reiser documentary over a movie about Jobs.
