Steve Jobs was indeed a horrible man and sociopath. I don't think he did any good to the world, and I think it is bad for the world that he is admired by so many people. I read his biography, which is written by a biographer he explicitly chose to make him look good, and he still looks bad.

He is basically Cartman in real life, but worse. He is all what is wrong with capitalism. He is responsible for directly and indirectly making a lot of people's life a hell. That he had a minor hand (he likes to take responsibility for good things that other people have done, and deny responsibility for bad things he has done) in making some ridiculously overpriced gadgets[1] is no reason to admire him.

Someone who should be admired a lot more by the general public, in my opinion, is Steve Wozniak. He actively tries to make the world a better place, he loves teaching, uses his money to make the world a better place, and has respect for people. Also, he's the real Steve that made Apple great.
