No, he did not. He set out to "bury Caesar, not to praise him". He did a fine job, only the knee-jerkers misunderstood.
I shared the article with another friend who knew Jobs better than me and his take away was the same as mine.
Similarly, a person with little clue.
The author is still and A-hole and didn’t Shiite about Steve.
You really did miss the whole point of the article....
And yeah, I call Woz and Steve by their respective names, as that is how we all knew them and distinguished them.
Hey, guess what, that's what I called them too. As I grew up, these two men were my heroes. I may not have known them, but at least articles like this don't go over my head, and at least I dont jump on public forums and trash people before I know whats going on. Your post #28 was borderline, and seemed to attack the Freeper who posted it. Not nice, especially when you are wrong.
I didn’t attack the poster. I attacked the author who only grew a conscience very late into the article.
The author lines his article with a title implying overtly Steve was a selfish SOB and spends two paragraphs on the subject of legacy and draws a comparison of legacy and intent with says Steve was tight with philanthropy.
He even calls Steve out for watching all the misery in the world and not lifting a finger.
He has zero idea what Steve did and I barely have any idea as well, except that he helped my charities at various times.
He begins his transmogrification by calling out the cleansing of consciousness for Carnegie and Gates.
It is only then he tells the tale of accomplishments from Lisa, which doesn’t mention but, does begin with Apple II and all the way through Ipad.
It is only now, at this point in the article, he begins his lame legacy epithet of who much Steve changed the world.
This, after painting him as a charitable misery? Puhlease.
“Selfish son of a bitch? Don’t know. Doesn’t matter. A model for prosperity and improving the human condition… now that’s a legacy worth leaving.”
Seriously? After the preface?
Give me a break.
I met the man and found him helpful if not generous.
This article is stupid and so is the author.
