Why we can't stop talking about Steve Jobs

I think the biggest reason we can’t hear enough is simply because, like too few other CEOs, he came across as a genuine human being–complete with all the foibles and faults that today’s corporations so often manage to scrub clean from their leaders’ images. (To the commenters below who misunderstand me: You can certainly argue he was a jerk, but that this was not hidden in the least is what I mean when I say “genuine.”) And this is despite Jobs’s and Apple’s own hermetically sealed environment when it comes to media coverage.
