    It’s one thing to make a tool accomplish a task.

    It’s another thing to beat the engineers until grandma can operate the tool.

    I didn’t like the guy either, and found it funny that his own bullshit killed him in the end, but he did add “value”.

      Which is also what all those people credit him for, the kind of thinking that gets you killed by choosing “alternative medicine” over science. Apple devices make that seem to be a valid approach to the world.
