The strong reviews of the new "exclusive" biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson have spurred me to buy a copy.In reading them—as well as the hundreds of other tributes and op-eds that have appeared since Jobs' recent demise—I'm struck by the countless times he's been called an "asshole."
Jobs applied the label to himself, so maybe there's cause.
But I'm troubled by the fact that so many people are willing to go "on the record" this way.
Did critics of Thomas Edison so readily toss around the same harsh language in his day?
