Your opinion of Steve Jobs is in many respects a litmus test for your opinion of Apple. If you think he is divinity incarnate and that everything he touches turns into tastefully proportioned glass and aluminum, chances are you are an Apple fanboy. If you refer to people who own any Apple product as fanboys and think those iPod commercials are stupid and go on about how the Zune HD is so much better every time they come on, you may not like Steve Jobs as much. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND.
