Morality Scales

In Steve Jobs' 37 year career, you'd be hard pressed to find a time when he used his wealth, influence, or technological genius to help humanity. Compare Jobs to Bill Gates, a man who has donated over 28 billion dollars to charity, largely composed of vaccines for 250 million children in third world countries, preventing an estimated 5 million deaths. On the scales of morality, this comparison is pretty lopsided. I'm not questioning his influence on technology, his technological genius, or his drive for success; I'm simply conveying the fact that if there is a hell, Jobs is probably in it.
