    Perhaps it might be too complicated for you to understand.... please don't generalize.

    Apple fans looking for a more upbeat take on Steve Jobs and his legacy should check out Eve's Hungry:

    In the spirit of Jobs' blue box beginnings, I downloaded this for free on p2p.

    I thought it was excellent. I bought a mac in 1984, so a lot of the history was familiar.

    Jobs was a human being not a saint. Corporations are not people, but Apple came closer than most.

    Someone™ else would have eventually:

    • commercialized the WIMP interface and brought personal computing to the masses.
    • advanced computer animation.
    • shifted the music industry from analog to digital.
    • invented commercially successful smartphones and tablets.

    Steve Jobs did all of that. 

    If you're feeling butthurt from watching this, well, ok toobadsosad. Accept reality or not.

    Nobody likes their saints stained or oxen gored. It's worth checking out. If you didn't see it:

    Screw you, pirate. If I change my mind about wanting to see this, at least I'll either pay to rent it or watch it on TV long after.
