Ten years ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash and Steve Jobs. Today we lost our jobs, have no hope and ran out of cash. Go figure.

The beatification of Steve Jobs is just another capitalist lie.

Maybe so.

But, he certainly made a great computer, had far reaching vision, and was contractually ripped off (willingly) by Microsoft who purchased a license for "point & click" (Windows) technology from Apple for only 50 Thousand Dollars (if memory serves). I don't know what Jobs' net worth was at its height, but it was never even remotely near that of Bill Gates' $50+ billion.
