^ That's what Sony does too.
Makes a console, then makes a smaller version shortly after.

There's no point in lowering myself to the level of some of the idiots who spew crap in this thread. This thread is about a great individual who has made a difference in this world. Not by the products his company has developed/introduced/marketed, but by the way he inspired the people around him.

It's funny (no actually it's pathetic) to see comments here on RS and in tech blogs everywhere where people are trying to minimize Jobs contribution to the computer/tech industry. It's almost as if all the nerds are raging away trying to re-write history to reduce Jobs to a footnote.
Or they dig through his past looking for everything he might have done wrong to portray him as an evil person (as if their lives or the lives of other notable people are so perfect).
Only an idiot with no knowledge of computer history before Windows 95 (or outside of PC's) could claim that Jobs didn't have anything less than a huge impact on the computer industry as we know it today. And Apple haters claim Apple fans live in a "distortion reality field". Oh the irony.

Lookup how demanding and ruthless he was to work with and why he was fired from Apple originally.
Jobs was important to the industry, no discounting that, yet not in the ways most are lead to believe.

Jobs was important to the industry, no discounting that, yet not in the ways most are lead to believe. | He was important to Apple in the very least. The issue most people had with him was the fact that he was very strict with his vision of the company and what products HE wanted to push out. Prior to the iphone, touch screen phones were a novelty and not taken seriously. It was his persistance and draconion omnipresence that allowed the iphone/ipod/ipad to work. This was ultimately why he was REHIRED as a result.
In a way, Jobs dictated the trends that dominates the tech sphere, instead of watching trends form and following the emb and flow of the consumer market.
Sure he was probably and ass and hard to work with, but really who isn't when you are that high up in the corporate food chain. And really, is tacit to discuss his lack of importance or his moral character a day after his death??

He most definitely was an ass, but he was an ass who brought Apple back from the brink of bankruptcy to being the 2nd most valuable company in the world. Not to mention he also revolutionized the personal music players, cell phones and computers.
I'm pretty sure if he had not been as demanding as he was, Apple would have died a long time ago.. and we would still be using a god damns stylus with our tablets.

I replied to someone that mentioned how "inspiring" he was by recommending they read about how he "inspired" his workers.
