Jobs is worth 40 Billion, he has opened up not only the concept of an app store, but the concept of a design ethic that all others are now trying to follow. He has opened a market for something that the worlds biggest software maker, MS, failed at many many times and no one else even tried to push seriously. The tablet PC. He has opened up multimedia devices and a form factor that everyone and his dog wished they could do and it is only natural people want to take a piece out of him. So Android is merely copying what he did and basing it loosely on open source. I say loosely as they chucked Android from the kernel a while back. It's natural that someone wants a piece of his 40 Billion wad of cash, a piece of a market he opened up. So he has the right to sound like an arrogant c*ck.

Not that I want or own anything from Apple as they're all sh*te.

Reading this thread however, makes me chuckle.

I can't stand Jobs for his attitude, the way he has developed a cult like following. Where people just won't hear anything said against their precious devices, the OS or the culture, even with the failings and drawbacks that make it worthless. And anyone that does criticise gets jibes and abuse from fanbois....

Wait a second, swap Apple for Maemo and it sounds a lot like this place.
