		<description>How appropriate that the Kindle edition is more expensive than both the hardcover and audio version - $20.  Steve&#039;s legacy lives on.</description>

		<description>Well, apparently it was by far Jobs&#039; favorite photo of himself. Knowing that, it seems fitting to use that photo for generic tributes.

Beyond that, though, I wasn&#039;t looking for them at all but saw probably dozens of other photos of Jobs that were circulating after his death - many very good photos that I (and most people, presumably) hadn&#039;t seen, from the 70&#039;s up to recent years. </description>

		<description>As to the last note about Jobs, adoptees (and, on occasion, birth parents) do often call their genetic (or, more PC, birth) parents simply &quot;sperm&quot; or &quot;egg donors&quot;. This is supposed to reflect the minimal role that adoptees / (usually also birth mothers) believe that the genetic parents had in raising the child, or how much/little they believe a genetic/birth parent deserves the &quot;parent&quot; label.

There is much arguing about this within the adoptive/adoptee community, of course, but I&#039;m just putting it out there that it&#039;s not like Jobs is the only one.</description>

		<description>Again with this photo of Steve. I find it sad that most people making tributes to him just printed this picture off apple.com and used it for their tributes. And I thought Apple users were supposed to be creative-types?

Oh wait, it&#039;s the 21st century Apple. Their way is the best way, hold the phone this way, and just do what we tell you to do, sheep...</description>

		<description>I lost some respect for Jobs when I read that he fatally delayed treatment for his illness by seeking &#039;alternative&#039; options first. What a waste.</description>

		<description>&quot;Our lawsuit is saying, &#039;Apple, you f---ing ripped off PARC, wholesale ripped us off,&#039;&quot; Isaacson quotes Jobs as saying. &quot;I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Xerox &#039;s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I&#039;m going to destroy Macintosh, because it&#039;s a stolen product.&quot;

There I fixed it for you...

Zero capacity or empathy or intropsection, and a severe Irony deficiency.

A literal textbook case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder straight out of DSM-IV:

-An exaggerated sense of one&#039;s own abilities and achievements.

-A constant need for attention, affirmation and praise.

-A belief that he or she is unique or &quot;special&quot; and should only associate with other people of the same status.

-Persistent fantasies about attaining success and power.

-Exploiting other people for personal gain.

-A sense of entitlement and expectation of special treatment.

-A preoccupation with power or success.

-Feeling envious of others, or believing that others are envious of him or her.

-A lack of empathy for others.</description>

		<description>Well, I guess that&#039;s that, then. If you, &lt;i&gt;pizzicato&lt;/i&gt;, can&#039;t find anything insightful in this how can the rest of us?  Well, there go the book sales.

apropos of nothing, I kept wanting to spell your handle as pizzataco.</description>
