This message is for people who keep sharing that bogus comparison of Steve Jobs and Dennis Ritchie

It's not who invented what (or) who came up with the idea first, it's who that marketed the product to the general public in the right way. Steve Jobs did a fabulous job of marketing Apple products to the mass in the right way - while Dennis Ritchie worked on what he did best; invent what was necessary for the industry. Both are legends in their own way.

Remember, Google was copying BlackBerry hardware design for Android phones, till Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone. We will be using BlackBerry styled Android devices right now if it wasn't for Apple. Imagine a goddamn QWERTY keyboard with a trackball for navigation?

Jobs reinvented the industry whether you like it or not. Give the man some credit, will ya!?
