Steve Jobs was the modern day P.T. Barnum (there's a sucker born every minute or a fool and his money are soon parted or whatever it was
). He was the shuckster's shuckster, the con man's con man, the snake oil salesman's snake oil salesman, in short being as I used to work in advertizing he was my hero!
This guy could sell hair products to the bald, refridgerators to the Eskimos and what have you. Who else could get you to buy an over priced pad or phone and then convince you to throw it away a few months later to buy a new one with really very little difference and sometimes worse (remember the IPhone that would drop calls if you didn't hold it just right?

But if you stop and think about it he really was doing mankind a huge favor. By having his customers walk down the sidewalk with the I-tunes in one ear and the I-phone in the other ear he doubled the chances of his customer stepping off the curb in front of a passing vechicle thereby cleansing the gene pool for the rest of us!
