> he's far from an apple fanboy.

I agree.

In order to make great things, and then to sustain that, I really truly believe you have to grow to dislike what you made before. It's the only way to take a critical eye one what you have done and learn from it.

Lots of people think Jobs is a tyrant inside of Apple (and I agree with that sentiment), but I think the motivation for that is that he simply wants to create something he doesn't hate right now. It might be bootup time, or interface delays, or screen pixel density etc. That kind of thinking, a critical review of your own likes/dislikes is healthy I think in order to grow.

Fanboyism, by definition, is not a process of critical thought.
