Jobs wasn't just "a businessman". It's unfortunate you haven't recognized what was so special about him.

- ginko 14y agoToo bad I have not fully accepted Steve Jobs as my lord and savior yet. Please tell me the good news about him so I may change my mind.
- angersock 14y agoHe very much was "just a businessman". An effective one, perhaps, and one who lucked into a new market, perhaps, but he was indeed very much a businessman. He wasn't an engineer of any outstanding merit--see how he tried to nix expansion slots on the old Apples, or the Atari debacle, or other such things. Moreover, he's done nothing but create lasting damage as a role model for future CEOs (have you ever dealt with a CEO doing something stupid because "Steve was right"?) and foster a culture of isolation and consumerism in technology. Apple v. Samsung is rubbish, and the petulant Android vendetta is hardly something we should celebrate.
