As for his legacy....its just "stuff"

They seem to only be rich and greedy CEOs if they operate something we need (or at least feel we need). Bank CEOs are greedy because we need banks for loans and to hold our wealth. Insurance CEOs are greedy becuase people need health insurance. How dare they charge for a service.

Peple don't need the I-whatever5sv2.8. Nor do people need to go to a starbucks and spend extra for coffee. So those CEOs are okay.

Always been an Apple/Mac fan since my first computer as a kid. I hope they can continue to make good products. By all accounts Steve was an asshole but you have to respect what he was able to do.

Cancer sucks. Rip Steve.

I wouldn't call his recent history that of an innovator, as he didn't create any of the technologies that his products used, but he was a marketing genius who could sure read societal trends.
