I would think there are significant differences in changing the world for the better verses for the worse. Creating the IPhone verses the Holocaust? I was never a fan of the guy myself, but the reports about Jobs personally are mixed. In a the business environment he could be brutal to people.

There is an arrogance there, a narcissism, a contempt for those who are not like him that I find troubling. There is no denying he was a talented man, one who changed our world, all by himself.

I can't fully articulate why, perhaps it is just a personal prejudice of mine, but I am troubled and repelled by men like him, and by those who are attracted to men like him. but I think the way he communicates it reveals something deeper, and uglier, in his character, and those of people like him.
