It is sad he died young and from a horrible medical problem. I feel for his family.

but that being said, he was just another businessman who made billions off of us and never gave back. His products are bad for the environmnet and most of his jobs went to China. He used every loop-hole the rich can get. He was also kind of a dick. Don't know why people love him so much. The toilet is more usefull than his line of crap but you do not hear people worshiping Sir John Harrington do you?

I think of him every time I use the John.

Yeah, I don't think he was really a great innovator. He was just a prick who bullied the people he hired into making great products. His talent was managing the production and supply chain. I think Jonathan Ive was the real creative brain behind the company, and Jobs deserves credit for seeing his ideas through to the final product. Too much shit is designed by committee and focus groups these days.
