Silly, but the flip side is that Jobs is a good argument for the left, or ye olde counter culture, or whatever it may be these days. He's on the record as to the importance of psychedelics in his development. This is mentioned in passing in some notices, but it's basically a non-issue at this point; I can't think of a recent public figure whose death occasioned such worshipful (and apparently heartfelt) obits across the board, so he's a good place to focus attention (Occupy Wall St take note.)
Steve Jobs founded NeXT. NeXT computers were being used by CERN when that guy invented the internet. NeXT computers were used to write the DOS version of the Doom engine. The Doom engine was the engine used for the first FPS game Doom. Doom was created by Id. That game used the Standard Galactic Alphabet which was created for the Commander Keen series, another game made by Id. The Standard Galactic Alphabet is now being used for Enchantments in the Minecraft 1.9 update.
