I'll be honest I couldn't finish this article. I am so sick of writers fawning over Steve Jobs in every single article about Apple. Jobs has been gone for over 3 years now. It's time that he was only mentioned in passing in an article about Apple's future.

I would not say the author was fawning, but it is obvious, and such articles try to explain that exact detail, that Jobs was and still is an immense influence. Writers need to – at least – acknowledge that, even if some people are tired of it.

Of course he's a huge influence. But it's been 3 years of everyone who talks about Apple talking about what a huge influence he is. It really does not need to be mentioned other than in passing any more. This article spent way too much tiem on it right away, to the point where I only made it through the first section and had to stop.
