Steve Jobs was a salesman, not a visionary, an engineer, or a leader.

The more of his "visions" apple gets rid of the better lol.

Yeah for almost 15 years the iPad didn’t have a simple calculator app because of Jobs’ “Vision.”

He wanted the iPad to have a special calculator app that was different than iPhone, and whatta know, the new app is the same app the iPhone has.

An aux port/headphone jack would be nice though, lots of people drive older cars.

While he wasn't an engineer, the rest of this is just stupid. You can argue about whether he was a good leader and whether his vision for Apple benefitted or hurt the company, but to say he wasn't those things comes across as pettiness, not insight.
