- jrockway 16y agoI don't think that really matters. Imagine someone makes a disease, and starts infecting people with it. Should you really dismiss the guy who says, "hey, this disease is bad, stop infecting people with it" simply because he doesn't make a vaccine? If anything, not making anything means you are less likely to be biased. Steve likes the iPad because he made it, not because it's intrinsically good. This biases his views on how it affects the software world. Anyway, making something is good, but not making doesn't mean that your commentary on other people's products is not useful.
- grinich 16y agoAnyway, making something is good, but not making something doesn't mean you lose any credibility. It means you don't have credibility to start with.

- jpark 16y agoand what has Steve Jobs literally made himself as opposed to telling others what to make? Jobs has made less than probably most people on HN. Let's hear it for the countless thousands of engineers and designers who break their backs for Steve so he can be literally lord it over those who obviously aren't the great "maker" that he is.
- buster 16y agoI love how Steve does not really answer the tricky questions and only goes the "Apple is your savior" path. What makes me bitter is that Apple clearly gives a sh*t about porn or flash or whatever. Steve cares about the money, nothing more. And on this way he spits on the freedom of the users. But whatever.. i will again get downvoted because most people here feel attacked and will smash the little down arrow like a little kid that starts to cry when telling him that the teletubbies aren't real.
