I'd suggest reading any of his biographies or watching Pirates of Silicon Valley. My problem is not with Apple at all, it's with the man himself.

- nbevans 11y agoWhat has he done to you to make you so upset about him?
- almightysmudge 11y agoThat's a very odd question to ask. I mentioned a distaste for him, not any sort of active upset. Kim Jong Un (deliberately avoiding reductio ad hitlerum) has done nothing to me personally, and I have to say I'm not a fan. Edit: I don't like the way he treat his friends, family, staff or even applicants, details you can get by reading the biographies or watching the documentaries as I've said before.
- nbevans 11y agoWell you explicitly said you had a problem with him, not his company Apple. Then referenced him next to the North Korean leader. You clearly have an issue with him? It's just interesting to see what that may be and whether it might able to be substantiated.
- stevehawk 11y agoNo no no. Like the Steve Jobs fanboy said - you hate him because he made Apple and changed the world. You don't hate him because he treated his employees like shit. Screwed many of them out of stock options. Turned his back on his own child. Created one of the largest walled gardens in the IT world. yada yada yada. Get over your PC Master Race ideals, bro.
