People have lost their grip with reality. They praise and raise an individual who basically made mp3 players, laptops, phones and consumer devices to the level of someone like Martin Luther King or other people who are truly deserving of bringing good and have changed the world in positive ways or contributed to those who needed it. In many cases these people who really deserve praise and mourning have really went through horrible suffering, beating, torturing and death to achieve something better in this world .
Steve Jobs? Not so much so. This just shows how skewed and horrific priorities and how superficial modern society has become.
Fanboys naturally look at Jobs as God (since he marketed himself as one through his corporate culture) and it's understandable they will go and cry or whatever. Their cult leader is dead.
But what's more annoying is the echo in media where noone really addresses true facts here. Every man's death is sad, especially when lost from cancer and fairly young, but we have to put things in perspective.
There are a lot of good articles coming out now that deal with this issue and really point out many facts that people just don't want to hear about Jobs. They just want to believe he was unbelievable man. In reality, he was a tyrant for those close to him and especially those who worked for him.
I think we are so out of sync that instead of being able to really just say that this guy had a significant influence on tech industry (in some good and bad ways) and leave it at that, he is being portrayed as someone who single-handed invented computers and changed the world because without him, we would be lost, which is complete nonsense.
This picture really shows how stupid people really are:
These are great articles that put things in perspective for those who lost it:

CUPERTINO, CA—Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple Computers and the only American in the country who had any clue what the fuck he was doing, died Wednesday at the age of 56. "We haven't just lost a great innovator, leader, and businessman, we've literally lost the only person in this country who actually had his shit together and knew what the hell was going on," a statement from President Barack Obama read in part, adding that Jobs will be remembered both for the life-changing products he created and for the fact that he was able to sit down, think clearly, and execute his ideas—attributes he shared with no other U.S. citizen. "This is a dark time for our country, because the reality is none of the 300 million or so Americans who remain can actually get anything done or make things happen. Those days are over." Obama added that if anyone could fill the void left by Jobs it would probably be himself, but said that at this point he honestly doesn’t have the slightest notion what he’s doing anymore.http://o.onionstatic.com…...
