@blogdiva @Cdespinosa Most of us read this thanks to a device that wouldnā€˜t exist without Steve Jobs. Acknowledging a manā€™s achievement takes nothing away from womenā€™s great achievements. Thereā€˜s room enough for many great humans on this planet.

@dgavin @blogdiva @Cdespinosa Jobs was ignorant about science and technology. He was a showman, a borrower of other people's ideas, and, yes, someone gifted at marketing. There's very little of any consequence that wouldn't exist but for Apple.
