Jobs was very much a Thomas Edison. Edison was accused (and probably was guilty) of stealing many other people's ideas. That was not to say he didn't have ideas of his own, he did, but his contribution was making all those ideas what they are today. Jobs was very much like that... Doesn't mean I would want to hang out with him... either of them.
