I am regularly seeing Steve Jobs described as a genius both in posts and comments on HN. I am always genuinely wondering: what is this based on? From my perspective, Jobs had an amazing talent for motivating people, and for selling both himself and his product in a cult-like way. But a genius? > Leonardo had no trouble distorting reality either, the only difference is that Jobs could actually make these ideas happen. What ideas exactly? Selling computers Steve Wozniak designed? Releasing an MP3 player that looked better than previous ones? Removing smartphone keyboards?
