One thing about Steve Jobs, he may have been a lefty, but he was a lefty who was very conservative with his business.

I respect the man for his achievements, his own, and his ability to take other peoples ideas and products and then tweak them into his own. 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.

Job's

Did his name actually have an apostrophe in it?
