I don't understand why I was voted down. There are a mass of people that treat Apple products like a drug. They have to have their fix of the latest and greatest apple products even if their current product works just fine. I just think that Steve Jobs fits the profile of a dealer, because he can be so 2-faced about the product. "This right here is the future of cell phones, you can do everything on it!" to "Its just a phone". How do you go from telling people that this product can do everything, theres an app for all of it, they get dependent on this product and then the product doesn't work when they get their next fix, they are helpless in the water, and they're told not to worry. Microsoft has been the same way in the past. People stuck with Vista on their new PC's when XP worked just fine. Though I can't come up with an example for google... perhaps they are truly not evil..

You were probably voted down because your analogy is insane. A drug dealer doesn't use his own product for two very simple reasons: he doesn't want to stand out (through abnormal behavior) and he doesn't want his judgment to be affected. Neither of these apply to a phone, even a magical and revolutionary phone.

Also, it turns out he never said the "it's just a phone", so that's not really two-faced, is it?
