Theirs a book out there that makes Jobs look like an idiot?  Is it
written by John Madden, or is there a second Captain obvious out there?
LOL.

No, I kid, the only problem I have with Jobs, is that somebody needs to
teach him two lessons: first it is rude to steal, then make the product
incompatible with those you stole from; and second, that Linux is not
your enemy.  The old arabian and chinese proverbs of "the enemy of my
enemy is my friend" which translates from the old chinese proberb "It is
good to strike the serpent's head with your enemy's hand" needs to be
taught to Jobs.  Steve Jobs keeps treating Linux like a competitor, when
in fact, we are two sides of the same coin.  Why take on another enemy,
when they can assist you in your larger goals.
