I imagine Steve Jobs as The Patrician in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series:
"Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote."
Au contraire, Ankh-Morpork is a very liberal city. Anyone can do whatever they like, provided they don't step on toes of someone organized - then it is up to them (the organized group) to clean up the competition using market forces.
The are no bullshit rules and laws, just thought out recommendations to make the city run as well-oiled machine.
I was thinking more of the (relatively few) cases where someone ends up on the Patrician's bad side:
"The Patrician could not tolerate mime artists. It was a strange aversion, but there you are. Anyone in baggy trousers and a white face who tried to ply their art anywhere within Ankh's crumbling walls would very quickly find themselves in a scorpion pit, one wall of which was painted the advice: Learn The Words."
For the Patrician it was mimes, for Jobs presumably Flash, bikinis and now also satire ;-)
"Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote."
I suppose Steve doesn't like satire...
