> shameless crook Over a decade after his death, there is plenty of observable, egregious shamelessness and brigandry in the world. Jobs was a successful player in a big, bruising corporate world. Jobs was ruthless in business and cruel in some personal relationships. But he had skills and talent too. Apple wouldn't exist today without his leadership through a critical juncture. He was also a driving force for usability in products. Notice how no one seems to promote usability anymore. (We do however pay lip-service to sustainability .) I never liked the cult of idolatry that developed around the person. Comedian Bill Burr offers the best excoriation of that phenemonon. [0] "New phone can't fit the old charger? This is your hero?!"
