Guess what? The world is full of corrupt people, he didn't kill anyone, the world is unfair. Welcome to life. Wishing death on anyone doesn't make you any better though.
Bravo on you Mia for your hippy tolerance. I am very happy that Hitler, Pol Pot, and Saddam Hussein are dead. I would have shot them in the face too - in their cases 2-3 times. Steve Jobs only deserves 1 bullet. So, same scale, different ranges. The fact that he did not kill anyone with his own hands is not the issue; death is a part of life and not the saddest part - far sadder is what dies within a person while they live, and he is responsible for a lot of that.
And as I said, popularising cell phones for children, when their cell-division process is at its peak (and therefore susceptibility to cancer), might not kill them on the spot, but could be more insidious in the long run. Not to mention the dreams and aspirations of the kids whose parents can't afford the Apple bling, and get conditioned to shelve those dreams because so many things in their lives are out of their reach. Highlighted by Apple.
Apple has become what people feared Microsoft would become - an abusive, overbearing, monopolistic blight on the competitive landscape (ok MS is some of those things, but not all). In fact, all the warning signs were there a long time ago - Steve Jobs actually lost out when he was on the ground floor of the PC market because of his anti-competitive, closed-source business philosophies. What a loser, and the results were fair at that time.
When we finally shucked the BS of record distribution companies, he got into bed with them to screw consumers out of more of their money. I can't install Apple's operating system on my computer without buying his hardware (or going through a painful BIOS modification process, all so Apple doesn't have to compete and so they can further screw customers.
But worst of all are the mindless drones he made out of his customers - I don't care what your phone can do - it's not like you invented it, you just bought it - anyone can do that. What a retarded consumer frenzy. The only compliments I can offer are the same as I would offer Hitler for whipping people up into mindless obedience. Very few of them are creative - in that they don't actually create anything of value, yet they arrogantly think that because they have an Apple product that makes them creative.
Steve Jobs was the consumerist equivalent of a cult leader or a religious fundamentalist - dangerous at best and insidious at worst. But he still only gets one bullet.
