Steve Jobs parked in Handicapped spaces and kicked old ladies?

any website, while enjoying an Amiga, a GUI, MorphOS, movies with visual effects,  CG animated features, smart phones in America...

Neither Jobs personally nor Apple invented any of those things. Apple have always made overpriced rubbish products, and that didn't change when Jobs returned. The most significant change he made was to more or less completely take away the rights of the users of his products, eg. DRM everywhere, no filesystem, no USB ports, disallowing rollback of OS updates, disallowing open source, paying $99 to run your own software on your own device, telling you what languages you can and can't use, etc. If he had retired/died sooner it would have been a better thing for the industry and for society in general.

Here's a history lesson for you then.  Also, a suggestion to read a little more carefully.  I'm mostly talking about Jobs himself, though you do have Apple to thank for the proliferation of the smart phone in America.  Not the bull%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@! that M*torola and everyone else had been pedaling while Asia had been enjoying even smarter phones than we have now since the '90s at least.

M*torola phones are crap, we can agree on that at least.

Whatever to the rest of that rubbish you're talking about.

The topic, if you actually bothered to read the title of the thread, is Jobs' ethics. My succint comments about his DRM-encumbered crap are more relevant in that context than your fanboy rambling and inaccurate statements about NeXT and rendering software.

>At the time, the "X" close box was unique to NeXT

Ah, that's who to blame for that misguided idea then. "X" already is used to mean "cancel" which is quite different to "close". The only thing worse is the awful MacOS "blank circle next to two other blank circles".
