Harsh but true. Everyone seems to want to grant him instant sainthood. For instance, CNET's reporter asked Woz if he'd compare Jobs to Einstein or Edison. Steve suppressed rolling his eyes and very diplomatically offered, "No, he was more like Disney. He wasn't a lab guy." Ultimately, he'll be remembered as the tenacious, aesthetic, ahole who fought, not for form over function exactly, but tightly controlled function wrapped in even more carefully crafted, instantly intuitive form. I hope history paints a more balanced picture than the eulogies will, this week. Apple is Egypt. Its products are daring monuments, like the pyramids or the sphynx. However much they were inspired, in part, by its Pharaoh prince, Steve Jobs, history shouldn't forget the hordes of sweating engineers and artists that erected those monuments for us all to enjoy.
