While I don't approve of Diggles typical lack of respect for anything, I do agree with his annoyance of the people who are elevating Jobs up to the level of Jesus. I heard people on facebook today compare him to fucking newton... you know, I studied differential equations nearly 300 years after newton died, something tells me we wont be studying iProducts.
Jobs deserves to be remembered not for his contribution to technology, which was signifigant. If Sergey Brin died tommorow he would make a few newspaper but my entire facebook wouldnt be filled with people rending their clothing over the death of a billionare. He deserves respect for being perhaps one of the best marketing minds in a generation, able to turn a brand into a religion.
