Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

NOT to take anything away from the Jobs legacy and his accomplishments with and/or without Apple but I think we live in a society where the culture is hard up for heroes.
A few warning signs of being involved in a cult.
* The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.
* Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
* The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel (for example, members must get permission to date, change jobs, marry—or leaders prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, whether or not to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth).
* The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s) and members (for example, the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar—or the group and/or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity).
* The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.
“It goes without saying that Steve Jobs is perhaps the most famous business leader of the century, if not of all time.”
Carnegie, Rockefeller, Ford, Firestone, Edison, Westinghouse, Onassis, Rothschild, etc, ad nauseum,,
It’s hard to properly represent someone who was equal parts genius and asshole.
Interesting. Thanks for the post.
Steve Jobs sure had that arrogant look down pat.
