		He did invent some dope stuff. The stuff was dope, he was dope, he will be remember RIP you genius. We loved your products, I kinda feel bad that I prefer PC over MAC's though, just personal opinion. 
Anyways, RIP, someone will continue your work.
Hopefully next gen apple products will have your name or initials craved in em!

Funny, that he invented some of the technology that allowed that to happen.

		His corpse is the most productive thing apple has made in the last 20 years.

You were thinking of Steve Wozniak. Common mistake.
In fact I can't remember an 'invention' of his that was challenged in court that he didn't lose the patent on for prior art.

Remember when he took control over the company in '97 and not only closed every philanthropic department in the entire apple company, but fired all of the employees from them?
Good man.

Sometimes you gotta be a dick to get results...look at the comparison between Apple and Microsoft now differing from 10-15 yrs ago.  Jobs made Gates his teabagging whore ever since the ipod came out.
