The first step to wisdom is calling things by their proper name. This is not elitism, simply stating facts. He wouldn't be called "Surgeon" if he were to advise a manufacturing company on how their tools should look nicer. What you're witnessing in this thread isn't elitism as much as it is people who've ruined their eyes wanting to set the record clear. Furthermore, that "Jobs" movie will probably appeal to most people because it's probably not accurate. It's probably a movie that will portray Steve Jobs as that genius who knew the future before everyone else, who've seen how Apple would be 20 years before everyone else. Anyone with more than 2 neurons knows it's a bunch of crap. You can't know how the end result will be designing a really small thing, let alone an empire. In addition, it's "Cinema", not History nor Journalism. Want to read a good book? Read "Masters of Doom". That's how you get multiple opinions from people involved in the story, not some kind of lame movie based on the only authorized biography of a person, as brilliant as that person may be. And lastly, come on, attacking Woz? If someone manages to get the respect of Engineers, you can be sure it's not because of his wits or Reality Distortion Field. Last time I checked, this is Hacker News. If there is any place elitism is the de facto constitution, it's in the Hackerdom.
