Heidi believes that Steve’s view of the world has a clear hierarchy. Steve himself is at the top. Then there’s Larry Ellison, who’s almost like Steve […] Then there’s a thin layer of reasonably smart people […] Then, at the bottom, there are great masses of bozos, who make up the vast majority of the population.

The irony about Steve Jobs is that he strives obsessively to make products for the masses but he is often mean-spirited when one of the little people dares to engage him in a conversation about his work or his products.
