"Steve Jobs did not design anything." Not true. Look at the history of Apple. He definitely did.

I know. It's almost as if Apple's incredible rise post OSX/ipod/iPhone have made people totally forget all of his original contributions back in the 80s. I think the first computer I ever used was an Apple II back in elementary school.

  Even if everything he says in this blog is true, I still think Steve designed products. There are many aspects of design, and I don't think anyone is suggesting that Steve did them all on any product, but he did some of them on many products throughout his entire career.

  And Raskin is quoted there, and Raskin was the guy who wanted the Mac without mouse. I think it's obvious that Jobs in fact designed Mac, in a sense -- realized his vision. It's also very clear that Jobs even cared a lot about every detail of his products. See also the last link in the article which leads to: http://folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=The_Father_of_The_Macintosh.txt&showcomments=1 http://folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story... "ultimately, if any single individual deserves the honor, I would have to cast my vote for the obvious choice, Steve Jobs, because the Macintosh never would have happened without him, in anything like the form it did. Other individuals are responsible for the actual creative work, but Steve's vision, passion for excellence and sheer strength of will, not to mention his awesome powers of persuasion, drove the team to meet or exceed the impossible standards that we set for ourselves. Steve already gets a lot of credit for being the driving force behind the Macintosh, but in my opinion, it's very well deserved."
