I appreciate your clarification, my friend, but as your initial post quoted above indicates, you stated that he "didn't change a damned thing." That is an ?ber-narrow view of what innovation means. The list of Apple products produced under Jobs' leadership that changed the way in which the world views and uses technology is lengthy and impressive. Even people who don't like Apple products cannot deny the influence of things like making the USB a mass-used thing, broadening how GUI is used, etc., etc., etc. -- unless they simply want to pretend that some things just never happened.
