Everyone has their own dark side of their selves. Well, since we are humans, envy and jealousy are a part of our life. From the article, I can understand the writer's resentment towards the late Steve Jobs. However, I think most of what he writes is based on his own personal feelings. Sure, I know he had an abrasive personality, but didn't the writer think that the abrasive personality is what makes the technology we see today? Without his unapologetic brutality, the technology advancements would not be so much better. Although many people had bad memories about him, he still strives to make for better or worse for these people.

None of us knew Steve Jobs personally, but newspapers, tv media and radio think they do. We knew nothing of his life and private thoughts. If we did, we would too be pioneers. Steve Jobs had flaws and human error as every other human on this God given earth. I didn't see a need to print any negativity about him after his death. The fact that he abandoned a child at 23 had nothing to do with us. His religion and his innovations were his right, not ours. Him finding his biological parents only to become distant from his birth father, only he knew the reason. None of these are important to us. To me and in my opinion this is nothing more than gossip. Whatever happened to honoring the dead and paying your respects. I think it's pure garbage to print bad things about a person after death and down right disrespectful.
Steve Jobs is the man in this particular hardware and software stuff and usually, for those who had worked experienced with him will know how he handles the employee. Many of them were led by his abrasive personality and unapologetic brutality like we all know; he used to treat his workers badly.He stomped, he shout and shriek to his employees until driving them to appoint that none of them want to work with him twice! Jobs started changes his attitudes and having problem in anger management when many people said that his temper grows shorter and he starting to treat people around him in bad way. Worst case is when he left his longtime girlfriend when he has a daughter with her. Jobs do not want to give any financial aid to his girlfriend and also give her bad name to mass media as he said in Time in 1983,” 28 percent male population of the United States could be the father “.What a father he is and he continued to deny paternity until the DNA test prove otherwise.
Well, I got to admit, even though he made a great contribution to the technology world, he himself made a controversy to his daily life, where he prioritize his technology more so than his own daughter. Even though he is a control freak, I personally think that it is a good thing. He believed himself to be right rather than the customer. Even if consumer might be protested against him, but I, as a consumer will stood for him. Why? Because, I think by being true to your own intuition, we can get the final product taht is much better. many people seems unsatisfied with his "control freak" personality. To me, by being a control freak, it is what that made one’s achievement great. His perfectionist side is also what made his inventions seems flawless. He introduced many updates and security measures that made the Apple Company well known for its products. Steve Job is actually a megalomaniac and often demanding for perfection and originality in any creation. He believes that he was right but not believes with the consumer’s right. Jobs mention that his Apple Company can do anything to achieve success. Well….let just say his right as Apple brand seems to be around the world and coveted by many nowadays. Look around the advertisement nowadays, Apple here, Apple that, I bet if you look around you will find that most tech users nowadays prefer Apple brand than others. Sure, Steve Job maybe a rough guy to work with but he is sure to have proven quality over quantity which most big company like Sony and Samsung striving to achieve bigger name, Steve Jobs create his name and Apple name to prove that he is a lot equal than others.
