Your analogy is terrible. Both examples you gave refer to musicians who are technically capable, but with one being able to turn his mastery of the instrument into music that people like.

Steve Jobs did not have mastery of the instrument. He was "technically limited", but still able to create compelling products. If you wanted to keep the analogy, it would be better to say that he was Bob Dylan (coincidentally, he was one of SJ personal idols).

Anyway, I'm going to try again: can you please stop with the Apple fanboyism? Such blind worshiping and your monotonic comments are so annoying that it makes me want to dislike anything about SJ and Apple.

Steve is not technically limited. Just because he had limited formal education and training dosn't mean he's technically limited.

That's just how insecure people describe him so they can feel better about themselves.

But hardly a "virtuoso" of computing, n'est-ce pas?

Face it, you can not have it both ways. Either Steve Jobs mastery was in taking ideas that were already there and putting it together in a way that was appealing to the common man (the "Bob Dylan"), or he was someone so ahead of its time that people could not comprehend him, pushing the state further to a level that others could not keep up - the "Satriani".

As for your childish insult... I could go on a long diatribe about how the insecurity usually lies in people that need to put others on a pedestal, but you'd need to get out of the Reality Distortion field to be able to understand it.

Why is he not a "virtuoso"? Bcause you said so? And Why cant i have it both ways?

And that staement was meant for Bill Gates, but if you were insulted then I guess you're guilty.

[rglullis]

Quit the bullshit, troll. There is no way that you were talking about Bill Gates. He was not the one that said anything about Steve Jobs being technically limited. I did.

I had enough of you. Bye.

[chugger]

rofl I was talking about Bill Gates.

True. As long as Steve had Woz on speed-dial, he was not technically limited. :-|

Steve is a great business man. He knows how to manage,manipulate and bring out the best from his designers and engineers. He didn't design and he didn't code. He didn't invent ipods or iphones or ipads. Sure he approves it and demands it.But he didn't create any of those things. He is not an inventor. He is a great CEO. Comparing him with Einstein just disgust me. I'd feel better if he was compared to Jesus.(not an inventor either but knows how to influence people)
