		<description>Ouch! The Bill Gates Humanitarian comment hurts! but its true. Behind nearly every great man, there is a great woman, (checkin him so that he does the right thing.) What about Jobs though? His charitably responsible in a very small way   housewife obviously doesn&#039;t have any say in his &quot;real&quot; life. She&#039;s probably just a beard anyway. He&#039;s so logcabin republican-like. What Steve Jobs needs a nice caring boyfriend to teach him how to act toward women.</description>

		<description>Uhhh, except that the picture was taken AFTER she made the request, hence she said that all she got was a picture of his back.

Geez, talk about a clown.  Do you not give some people some semblance of intelligence to be able to recognize the difference between someone engaged in conversation with people/on a phone call vs. standing around poking at their iPhone?</description>

		<description>Reality Check is sooooo right. Don&#039;t these people know they are in the presence of GREATNESS? The proper protocol would be:

- Approach His Steveness in a prostrate position.
- When address, you may kiss the iRing on his right hand
- Once dismissed, retreat backwards ten paces before turning.

Show some decorum people. You are in the presence of a god striding the earth!

		<description>From this clown&#039;s blog: &quot;So, I saw that Steve Jobs was just hanging out on the Macworld expo floor, not in conversation, not talking to anyone, and poking at his phone in the middle of the public so I walked over.&quot;

Yet, in the picture she posted Mr Jobs appears to be standing with a group of people, presumably his entourage, and is obviously engaged in something. Whether that be conversation, an important phone call, or anything else, is irrelevant. He has his back turned and is facing a group of people he is engaged with.

And then this clown walks up behind him and touches him? Yeah, sorry, but I completely understand why Mr Jobs considers that rude. Because it is. Get a grip, folks.</description>

		<description>Welcome to 2008... Steve Jobs treats his fans and customers like dirt, while Bill Gates is on his way to being the single largest humanitarian in history.  Think Different, indeed.</description>

		<description>Violet&#039;s a sweet person and a friend of mine. If Steve&#039;s just standing around - on the Macworld show floor of all places - he&#039;s inviting public interaction. He&#039;s a celebrity, after all, and has certainly come to expect this kind of interest by now. Someone politely walking up and asking to have a picture taken is by no means rude. I know Steve&#039;s not the most humble guy in the world, but a polite &quot;no, thank you&quot; would have been enough - calling her &quot;rude&quot; is over the top.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t get it. Just because she tells a live-streaming douche that Steve Jobs told her off but has no audio or video to prove it, we believe it? All she has is a picture of Steve Jobs&#039; back. That&#039;s not to say it didn&#039;t happen but that&#039;s pretty weak.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s always more to the story, unless you are there and able to read the minds of everyone involved, there&#039;s always more...

Like, the woman who sniggered... maybe they had just been discussing how people must always come up to Steve in public and ask to take their picture with them and having a real life example come up, that&#039;s something that would make me laugh...</description>

		<description>there&#039;s more to the story than this. any journalist knows that celebs don&#039;t like posing for pix because other ppl will want the same. unless he allowed this to be done by someone else and then refused ms. blue, then yes, he is a douche. but who doesn&#039;t know this already?</description>

		<description>I love Apple, but honestly, where do you thing the whole Apple elitist asshole attitude originated?  From the top down my friends.

We&#039;re like the battered wife that still thinks that Steve loves us even though he punches us in the face when we burn the toast... or something like that.

Anyway, is anyone REALLY surprised by this?</description>
