And for those who declare that he changed the world, they misunderstand. What they mean is that he changed their lives. And if that is true, then frankly they need to get a life. (And no, there isn&#39;t an app for that.) Jobs was a master marketer of overpriced, although good quality, consumer products. That is not the same thing as changing the world, and it is quite ridiculous that people think it is.</p> </blockquote>]]></html><thumbnail_url><![CDATA[https://sullydish.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/6a00d83451c45669e2014e8c281022970d-550wi.jpg?fit=440%2C330]]></thumbnail_url><thumbnail_width><![CDATA[439]]></thumbnail_width><thumbnail_height><![CDATA[290]]></thumbnail_height></oembed>
