Actually it is the mourning which is in poor taste. What is wrong with people, idolizing a merchant for selling them something?
Steve Jobs was a manager who was really, really good at his job. He didn't retrieve the iPad from Volcan's own forge, nor did he really enhance the quality of your life. I am all the way with Opebo here.

I mean no disrespect to Jobs, I mean hell I am typing this up on a Mac laptop, but the blatant idolatry his followers had for him (and Apple products in general) was nauseating. I mean it literally made me want to throw up a few times. So yes I respected the man, kind of like I respect my friend Jimmy who somehow achieved a 92% in Principles of Auditing class (without really trying I might add). I mean yeah, he was great at what he did and he sold quality products that don't give you the dreaded blue screen of death but isn't necrophilia illegal?
