I also fscking hate Apple fanbois. No, Jobs wasn't the Second Coming, he wasn't even his dad's first coming and the best thing jobs did was GO! Steve Jobs ruined the internet with his "Smart" phones and "Pads" for dumb people. (Cue avalanche of downvotes)

Sir Clive Sinclair: Personal computing pioneer missed out on being Britain's Steve Jobs
While shopping for very small laptops in 2001, I saw Sir Clive Sinclair on the other side of Tottenham Court Road - smartly pinstriped and carrying a whole load of small, posh, brightly coloured laminated paper shopping bags.

He peered at me with narrowed eyes, crossed the road on a trajectory leading away from me, then he was gone... You should never attempt to meet your heroes.
