RE: Introducing Myself and How I got into Steemit!
I adore your point of view but you can't ignore his unparalleled vision in technology and personal computing.
Those, who might profess to dislike him, will undoubtedly be ignorant of the fact that Steve Jobs, almost single-handedly, revolutionized six industries which have largely been regarded as the most powerful blend of creativity, technology and perfection - personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing and digital publishing, The world as we know it has an indelible mark of his contributions.
Geniuses have undeniable quirks. It's their idiosyncrasy that sets them apart in their thoughts and vision. That is both uncommon and easily misunderstood. In Steve's case, that has driven his peers, rivals, friends and followers to utter despair and fury. His personality and products were thoroughly intertwined. One cannot selectively like one without appreciating the other.
He never coded well, He was arrogant, and a manipulator and that's how he made his money. He never gave credit to anyone even til they day he passed. The biggest thing for me that tells the character of a man is the type of father you are. What type of man denies his own child and plays this emotional game. He was a piece of crap as a man. I don't care what he supposedly did for technology. Apple OS is essentially derived from UNIX. If Jobs had his way, he which he did, he would've loved for that OS to not be Open-Sourced. I'm a Linux user, which is waaay better. But him being a crappy father was the nail in the coffin for me. But it's all in fun man, we can argue about this on one of my podcast, you're invited. :)
