Bah, I doubt it. Most likely he was just good at taking credit for all the creative ideas that his employees came up with.

And exactly how would any of us know the truth? I guess if Apple flops from now on, I would be proven wrong. However, I highly doubt that would happen.
Don't know. But the man was the driving force behind apple.

Have a look at how Apple was doing before he came back and how the company has been doing ever since.

Jobs was at the helm when the original Mac sales declined. In fact, he was "fired" from Apple for that very reason.

Protests spread in the US. Once again, peaceful protestors were arrested.
11 arrested as Los Angeles protests swell
(AFP) – 2 hours ago
LOS ANGELES — Eleven protestors were arrested Thursday in the biggest anti Wall Street-style demonstration yet in Los Angeles, with some 500 people rallying in the city's downtown district, police said.
Six men and five women were detained for trespassing by sitting down in the lobby of the Bank of America, said an LA Police Department (LAPD) spokesman.
Crowds -- including some from the "Occupy L.A." group which began protests at City Hall last weekend -- looked on as those arrested were escorted out the front door. They were bailed for $5,000 each.
The protest was led by the ReFund California campaign, which lobbies for banks to keep families in homes, pay their fair share of taxes and help rebuild poor neighborhoods.
"Money for Jobs and Housing, Not Banks and War" and "We Need Good Jobs," read some of the placards carried by protestors, who dispersed later in the afternoon.
Demonstrators have camped on the lawn of LA's City Hall since last Saturday as part of a nationwide series of demonstrations centered on anti-Wall Street protests in New York.

The iPOD, iPHONE, & iPAD weren't really as innovative as people think. MP3 Players, SmartPhones and Tablets were around before Apple decided to invent it. Much like Apple did with Xerox's Mouse, take an existing idea and modify it and sell it. However no doubt they're genius at that, in marketing and repackaging a product. What Apple did was not so much invent the wheel but rather speed up the evolution of it. Particularly by bringing a larger consumer base (mainstream consumers) demanding for it rather than it being the domain of just techies or nerds.

What's ironic is all the talk about how Steve Jobs' legacy is he took expensive advanced technology from the elites and made it available to the masses. Yeah it's great when they're in control of it. Because what we've seen recently regarding green technology is the opposite. They don't want green technology available to the masses because they can't compete against the lower prices of others. Now all of the sudden having it availbale to the masses is a bad thing.

You realise he didnt actuallyu have any formal techy qualifications. In theearly years It was his partner Wozniak who was the geek . In the later years it was his vision and presentation/marketing skills that carried the day.As Solarz said it was left to the others to do the hard yards.
