Earlier quoted context omitted.

You've posted several random comments about Steve Jobs that have nothing to do with this article. Those are not substantive comments. We don't need an "I love Steve" vs. "I hate Steve" discussion here—as generic as it is tedious.

Although the tabloid could hardly have framed this article in a viler way, what Brennan actually wrote is reflective and poignant and deserves to be read.

Is there any level of business achievement that says that it is ok to have millions whilst the mother of your daughter is struggling to survive whilst bringing up your daughter? As a business man he…

I feel like going down in history as a great innovator and business leader is far easier than going down in history as a great father, and though I can't say one way or another what his priorities were, you can't completely fault the man for being what his culture values.

Just checking: You know that a bunch of people took Nazi propaganda, changed the word "Jew" to "migrant", and posted it to the Daily Mail comment section, and that those comments were upvoted by DM readers? https://medium.com/@bestofthemail/i-was-upvoted-for-posting-... And, scarily, the Nazi propaganda was mild in contrast to other comments openly calling for the murder of migrants? Look at the upvotes on these comm…

I am probably missing something, but I take it you're okay with The Guardian as a source? How is this not clickbait? https://twitter.com/somuchguardian

I do not know if the original commenter(commentator?) is okay with The Guardian as a source, but that twitter account is trash.

Sadly, one thing the original commentor(commentator?) seem to not understand that it's about what's being said, rather than who's saying it.
