    Moving goalpost?

    You said he didn’t contribute to technology, so I pointed out that he’s responsible for Apple becoming what it became, which itself transformed technology.

    Now, you’re saying he shouldn’t get technical credit for…making the iPhone?

    Okay…I never said he should…but it you want to go down that path, he was very hands-on with in the design processes for two of their most pivotal products: the iMac and iPod.

    Again, he was a grade-A douche bag, who died a fucking hilariously stupid death, but that doesn’t erase, or override his impact.

      If you want to congratulate his corpse for what he didn’t engineer or design, go ahead.

        It has nothing to do with congratulating.

        You made a false statement, and then moved the goalpost (motte and bailey) when I pointed it out.

        Simple as that.
