The bloke is a twat.

A brilliant, visionary, fascinating, genius twat.

But a twat all the same. I doubt Apple would be where they are now if his twatittude weren't of the magnitude that it is.

On the other hand, I doubt I'd be all that sympathetic if one of my subbies decided to cut corners like this; it's Wintek's management who are the evil bastards in this particular little tale, not Jobs.
