Probably the most down to earth billionaire on the planet. One of my favourite quotes is:

“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful … that’s what matters to me”

He did it to make money, not because he liked you having nifty gadgets.

He's just like any other CEO.

Of course he did it to make money, nobody would argue otherwise. That doesn't make him a bad person nor does it take away from his accomplishments. And the fact that you would make the assumption that Steve Jobs is personally responsible for what happened in that factory in China is absolute crap.

dude was an actual real deal visionary. at the first real job I had, the owner was insane and made everyone use these NeXT computers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXT

shit was lightyears ahead of everything else and what modern mac's where built on, but no one in the home space got it. Apple did and bought it and brought Steve Jobs back and that's really when their rebirth started.

I'm curious to see what Apple does now. I've always wondered how much of their innovation came from Steve Jobs and how much of it now is the culture that he created and fostered.

They probably have a think-tank or whatever to deliver good and creative ideas.
