He innovated what his company was doing to a point that he made Apple the most valuable in the world. He achieved a level of success that is tangible and measurable.

I can understand why people don't get people feeling sad etc...but from an achievements standpoint he measurably achieved and executed on his vision to the very top and for this he undoubtedly deserves respect. I dream of being able to be as good at my job as he was at his.

I don't know much about his personal life but I'm guessing he was probably quite happy with that too or at least strove to make himself as happy as he could be.

I mean, sure, he changed some things, for example popularizing big smartphones and tablets, but he was not the first. He just knew how to ******** people with speeches such as: "Now you can hold the whole internet in your hands" (with the iPad).

And let us not forget that Apple stifled more innovation than they created. They sue companies left and right for breaking patents, and now they more or less claim that they owe exclusive rights to minimalistic tablets. They managed to get Samsung phones and tablets banned in some countries, and if they could get their way, they would get all their competitors banned worldwide. How is this innovating?
