"Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever 
fools from their freedom, has died.
As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor Daley, "I'm 
not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." Nobody deserves to have to die - 
not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But 
we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing.
Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence. We can only hope 
his successors, as they attempt to carry on his legacy, will be less effective."
