Sounds like The Game of Thrones.
Hahahahaha. All signs really do point to Jobs being a Lannister. That is, a horrible human being. True or not? No idea.
That said, who gives a fuck? The guy brought Apple back from the brink and ended up coming up with some very influential products. Sure, hard-drive based MP3 players were around before the iPod, but they fucking sucked. And sure, touchscreen smartphones were around before the iPhone but they were clunky as fuck and had little to no mass market appeal. The success of the iPhone was certainly the driving force behind the accelerated and heightened development of Android and the competition between the two systems is certainly where all the innovation is going to come from in the market for the immediate future. Good for everyone if these clowns can stop suing each other over retarded patents regarding UI interactions that probably shouldn't have been granted in the first place (to be fair: it's business, it's going to happen if they can get their hands on a patent). Everybody pretty much wins and there's now a smartphone on the market that my mom could most likely utilize every feature of (RIM had this down, but it just wasn't clicking).
Beyond that, who gives a fuck? The company has some good products but also have a lot of practices that many people don't like and/or despise. It's like arguing Ford vs. Dodge. Some motherfuckers want a Ram, some want an F-150.
