Do you know who built TCP/IP? Where is the suckuping for Linus Torvalds? Where is the love for Richard Stallman without wich the IT industry, and Apple would not have been the same.
- jinushaun 15y agoThey haven't retired/died yet. Everyone assumes Steve Jobs left because he's dying. That's why every article about Jobs reads like a eulogy.
- Bud 15y agoYeah, I do know that. Regarding Linus, he actually gets a lot of hero-worship...and rightly so. But did Linus (or Richard Stallman) have the overall impact of Jobs? Not by a longshot. So in my mind, the admiration for Jobs is deserved. Some disagree and I respect that, but calling it a "cult" is ludicrous.
- doctoboggan 15y agoI am not sure if you meant it sarcastically, but the two people you mentioned have obtained somewhat of a cult status. And if you are wondering why Steve Jobs gets so much attention around here, it is probably because this is a forum for entrepreneurs, and he is arguably the best, taking Apple from the brink of collapse to the world's largest public company.
