I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this.

I am willing to give Jobs credit where it is due as he did clearly have an impact on the technology scene. That said, and I know this sounds mean but his presence won't be missed. I wish cancer on NO ONE! I watched my mother die of it and would give anything to see it eradicated so I have all the pity in the world for Jobs on that front. That said, he was an arrogant prick that despite all his bitching and moaning about Bill Gates and Microsoft was basically doing exactly the same things he was so critical of them over. He copied just as much as anyone else and spent more time in court suing others for doing the very same thing. His model, though wildly successful, of selling you tiny incremental updates each year (of tech that was current when he released his products without it) is something we can do without. He stifled competition more than anyone else in the industry and had the strangest knack of missing the obvious. You STILL can't get a Mac with a Blu-Ray because this lunatic felt it is a passing fad. I am truly glad his long battle with that atrocious disease is at an end and hope he has moved on to peace. I also feel for his family as I know how hard it is to lose someone close. In the end though, the tech industry will do just fine and may just put some of this silly innovation through litigation crap that Jobs was so good at behind us.

Stealing ideas is how innovation in products happens.
You create an idea, I steal it and innovate it, the next guy sees what I did and takes it even further.
That is what our entire society is based on over the years.
