I always thought Pirates was much more of an indictment of Steve Jobs... among folks that I know who actually saw the movie, they certainly walked away with a lower opinion of the man.

Even I did. However, later I realized that it is quite easy to judge him but so hard to understand him.

You really need to know bottomless despair to see where he came from. Think of this you are a teenager with no contact with your bio parents, struggling to make sense of who you are, and you cannot get rid of the nagging feeling that you have no future and then you hit the big time. No The Big Time.

Would that not go to your head and exaggerate your flaws? He is just human being with limited resources to cope with what life thrust upon him. I don't worship him anymore, but I won't judge him either.
