Nevertheless the Apple cult of personality insisted that Jobs had got better and the operation was widely reported to have worked right until this year when Jobs again took time off.

Throughout this idiotic waxing, Farrell does not provide one single solitary link to back up his assertion that Jobs wasn't actually better and then faced a setback, as happens all the time to cancer sufferers. Because he can't, of course. Inconvenient facts are apparently not enough to stop him from being a overbearing, monstrous scold.

However the real danger for Apple is that the reality distortion field around its products will crumble over time.

Sure, sure, because it's all smoke and mirrors. WE GOT IT ALREADY.

Those who have come to believe that Steve Jobs is their personal saviour, might have difficulty accepting Tim Cook in the same role.
