I might be envious of his success, but I don't think that's the source of the negativity. There's quite a bit of documentation of him behaving in ways that I don't think are acceptable (your opinion may vary). Here's an article from a quick google search. http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-jerk-2011-10

It looks like this article came out a week after his death. Sometimes it amazes me how tasteless and low these writers can be.

I'm not sure about the motivation, but I do agree that the comments are very judgmental and critical of Jobs as a whole. This is unfortunate, because this reflection isn't objective, and furthermore, probably isn't based on first-hand knowledge.

to understand if jobs was exceptional, we need only ask if WE were given an identical set of circumstances could WE have accomplished the same or similar.

i know i couldn't. what's your answer?
