I think it's important to remember that neither Jobs not Sculley ever invented anything.   They provided overview, guidance and parameters -- and enabled the Geeks to do their best geeking.

That's fairly obvious with Sculley but near heresy to say about Steve.  But even Gates mocked him for being non-technical.

But, that doesn't mean that both were not geniuses in their own right.   Geeks need geniuses like that to lead and guide and enable and to see the bigger, longer picture.

Absolutely true. 

Actually that’s not even remotely true. Spend a few hours going through US Patent Office records and you’ll discover just how many things Steve Jobs’ name is on. As the inventor.....and before the trolls leap from their grubby hiding places.... that’s not just because he was head of Apple nor because he stole other people’s ideas. He may not have invented entire machines ... nobody really does in big companies now ... but many of the things that have made Apple great were a direct consequence of his creative mind and ability to articulate those things in ways others could turn them into working products. Sculley was not an inventor. Nor a visionary. Nor a leader. He was definitely not Steve Jobs. Nor Tim Cook for that matter.

How does an article celebrating the life of a great technologist and (far more importantly) philanthropist wind up having the comments section sound like an argument over mouse buttons? Not to mention conjecture over his sexuality! Come on people we can do better than this! Let’s just celebrate the life of a man who saw a way to use his enormous wealth and intelligence for the better of all humankind. It’s rarer than it ought to be. I hope those who knew him and were close to him are proud of all he achieved and attempted in his life. May he now find peace.

Upgrading from my series 0 to the new 4. Can't wait! So glad my Milanese Loop will work on the new one too given it cost AUD$279 last year! Getting my wife one too but I might have to find a way to turn the Walkie Talkie feature off or I'll never get any peace!!!  

No mention in this article of actual revenue let alone profit. We all know Samsung outsells everyone else by sheer units shipped but its profitability on those sales compared to Apple is pitiful. Same goes for Huawei. I know which I'd prefer "bragging rights" to!
