I knew someone was going to say that as soon as I sent my message, hehe :S
But, think about it, you are comparing the creation of a weapon of mass
destruction to a man who created a company which created somewhat pricey,
stylish consumer technology :P
What I meant by that, is, he did POSITIVELY influence the world of
technology in many ways.
Barack Obama writes:
"Steve was among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think
differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented
enough to do it. By building one of the planet’s most successful companies
from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making
computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the
information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by
turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of
children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every
day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives,
redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human
history: he changed the way each of us sees the world."
Yes, he may have utilized outsourcing, but so does pretty much every other
company that you use the services of daily. If you think Apple is evil
because of that, you might as well also find all of these companies (and
more) equally evil:

And with that, I am done. As I said, RIP Steve, he will be missed. If you
wish to speak about this in the way you have been any further, go troll an
apple forum or something.
