Okay, the God of Apple has been laid to rest. Who was he REALLY? What people dont get is that as much of a marketing guy he was, word has it he was an arrogant, credit-stealing asshole. This coming from his own camp:

EXCERPTS:
I was amazed to hear that the main reason why Jobs did not want Flash on his precious iPhone is because he did not want people to be able to watch PORN! The Safari browser on the iPad and iPhone do not support Flash and they never will. That is a big deal! Here is a visual meaning of what that is saying:
. Im not just a "Microsoft is better than Apple" sorta guy, because there are things I like about certain Apple products, but you could consider me an anti-Apple guy. I only recommend Apple products to people who have no clue about computers but tend to tinker around anyway. Such people cannot mess up a Mac or an iPhone or an iPad. But to me its like selling somebody an adult bicycle with training wheels permanently attached to it. The fact is that Steve Jobs created a draconian Apple culture rife with backstabbing, stealing ideas, dirty underhanded tricks and outright GREED. Its products say to professional geeks:
"I'm not that computer savvy. I bought this Mac to make it look like I know how to use a computer".
In reality, when you watch a Mac user from afar (say, in a Starbucks or other cafe-like environs), you will NEVER see actual applications being used. You will see Facebook, email, and perhaps iTunes minimized and nothing else. Most Mac users/owners use them like simple netbooks. The only people they are impressing are the mainstreamers who have very old Windows computers or are minimal users who bought a cheap Windows laptop for about $300, and use it in a similar netbook fashion. I have even noticed Mac "clusters" which form in Starbucks where all the people in that area have Macs whilst other groups form around "regular" laptops. WTH?
But back to Steve....I am not at all surprised to hear this stuff. Perhaps somebody will make a movie?
