Where's Steve Jobs peace prize? He's done more for the world then Obama. And as for the guy hounding Steve, go fuck yourself with the kendle.

@Jonaitify Thanks! few people consider that. Sometimes you have to be a jerk and not take any crap from anyone, so you don't get pushed around.

For every person who says he was treated badly by Jobs, there is someone else who says he was a great friend. None of us gets along with everyone, and he was harder to please than most people.

@Jonaitify if Walt Mossberg is arrogant, how can you not understand how he could be friends with Steve Jobs? LOL :D

[Jonaitify]

@jownash Wakt Mossberg appears to be an uninspired prick to me, throughout every clip I see him in, really boring guy (which, if I would be Steve, would be very annoying to me to handle. I think Steve does a great job to handle his almost-arrogant style, and i have TOTALLY now clue about how the fuck the can be "friends"?

[Jonaitify]

@Grafight23 word! Thought about saying the same thing when I saw your note. I totally forgive him for that. As a matter of fact I can totally relate to being in his shoes there, and certainly there are more that can.

I think he's annoyed

[Kaludify]

Am i the only one who think he looks and talks like Larry David? > Like if you agree!

[AmateurDrumCovers]

@ygo2slow That's not saying much. All Obama has done is triple our troops overseas.

Steve Jobs was not a genius per se. Genius in respect to academics. He had intuition of what was coming ahead. Many people think the two are interchangeable but they are not.

[Grafight23]

I can totally forgive Steve Jobs the fact that he had a temper in his younger days, Geniuses often do, when you are surrounded by idiots who don't get your vision it can be unnerving to anyone. Xerox thought the mouse and GUI were useless. The computers they made with them were financial failures. Apple board kicked him out, then proceeded almost destroy his creation. I would be mad too. He wanted to make computing accessible to everyone. Thanks, SJ!

@jownash "Friend" is a good word, Mossberg was invited over to Steve's house quite a few times.
