There seems to be an inordinate amount of Jobs worship in the business press.
I wonder what qualifies someone as a genius? A lot of the ideas Jobs is given credit for were swirling around the Silicon Valley/Homebrew Computing Club milieu at the time. Maybe it just took someone with the energy and ego to put himself in charge of commercializing all those ideas. If that's the case, I'm a lot less impressed by Jobs and a lot more impressed by the real technical geniuses who actualized his visions.
Don't meant to be overly critical here, I'm just naturally skeptical of "larger than life" personalities. Upon investigating their biographies they frequently turn out to be credit-hogging egomaniacs. Not all the time, but frequently enough that I'm skeptical.
