Tell me.. does that bring a tear to your eye as well?
You don't have to like someone to have respect for them, and just because you found a story to be gripping, doesn't mean you're necessarily puffering* up the story-teller by saying so.
* N.B. "puffer" is not a verb (it's a poisonous fish)

Ever said/thought to yourself: "Man this thing's so slow, it's taking for eeeeeever!"

Let's not puffer him up too much, folks. He was a great businessman and that's about it. He at least made electronics approachable to more people--but he was no saint. i.e. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...ted-inhumanely
Tell me.. does that bring a tear to your eye as well? Let's not go overboard for a man you didn't personally know and kept telling people 'you're holding it wrong!' Think differently.
Nobody is a saint, but I think people here are just trying to say goodbye to a man who simply changed the world with his dreams...personally, I don't see anything wrong with this...

As one of the above-mentioned "stupid people", for I have bought and owned Apple products - even their phones in the past - I profess a certain satisfaction that such as I annoy you. It seems only fair.

Heh, I kid. I don't like Apple products, but if they make you happy, then they make you happy. That in itself is no bad thing.
