"But let's be serious, what Job's was above and beyond all else was a Pirate."
Don't hate him for that. Speaking as a computer programmer for many years I can tell you, in the computer world we are all stealing ideas from each other. That is the history of computer technology. People steal from each other and add something to make it better. Steve Jobs was simply the best at it. That's why he was a genious. He wasn't a programmer or particularly tech saavy. He was able to take complex things and make them simple and apply to everyday people.

I don't hate Jobs, he was an excellent pirate who used his superior armament of corporate lawyers to vanquish anyone who he wanted. My only gripe are his worshippers(maybe a little strong) who can't accept that not all of Apples ideas were original. As you say Jobs was superior at taking ideas and incorporating or improving them.
