Maybe you'll prefer Steve Jobs, the 2015 biopic about the life of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs starring Michael Fassbender. "Steve Jobs is a tech visionary, total dick," writes Esquire's Matt Patches in his mini-review of the just-released Steve Jobs trailer.

Re:Jobs is admired because greed by BasilBrush · 2015-07-02 02:57 · Score: 1, Flamebait

I admire Jobs because he made design, quality and user experience the overriding factors in creating products. And he had the confidence to know that approach would win out in the end. And the taste to be able to personally ensure the company kept on track.
The people who hate jobs are invariably people who don't appreciate design, and think it's just decoration.
