    Jobs was a glorified salesman. Edison was an oligarch notorious for lying, cheating, stealing, and his complete lack of ethics and morals.

    I’m absolutely no fan of Jobs but Edison was the bigger bastard.

      Jobs took credit for everyone else’s work. He presented himself as a visionary and a creator, when he was mostly just a liar and a thief.

      Maybe Edison was worse. I’m not saying Jobs was worse than Edison. I’m saying Jobs fabricated a legacy that a lot of people still believe, and will believe for a long time.
