I have seen numerous people on both my german forums and facebook comparing him to Newton.. The others, debateable.. I think the assembly line is far more important than convenient consumer electronics that would have happened within a decade, but who knows....
Which CEO do I know that did better? I don't know - thats why I respect Jobs - a CEO is a human being norman people shouldn't give a fuck about and should, by the fact that they make tens of thousands of times your salary, despise. Jobs took this horrible position that normal people despise and turned it from hatred to abject worship, and he really needs to be studied for this sociological fact. His contributions to science are negligible and will be washed over with whatever tech advances have every year, but his control over people is fuck amazing and respectable.
Anyways, whatever - it sucks he is dead, cancer sucks, but I am sincerely confused by the legions of people who act like jesus just died, its almost as bad as kurt fucking cobain - except unlike cobain at least jobs did something useful at some point.
