Who cares? Apple is a business and a great one. Steve Jobs is the reason.

Yeah.
Imagine the "conservatives" on this website continuously bashing a company and its founder who:
Started with nothing but their skills and determination.
Created over 75,000 jobs over their history
Currently employ 35,000 people.
Have 284 retail stores
Generated over 43 BILLION dollars in yearly revenue in 2009
Made 8 BILLION in net income last year

Yeah, the Steve Jobs sounds like a real commie to me...

Being a capitalist entrpreneur does not limit one’s ability to be a communist. Communism would not be where it is were it not for it’s financiers. Marx would not have spent half a lifetime in Librabries were it not for wealthy indistrialist Friedrich Engels. Lenin would not have taken over Russia were it not for trainloads of Deutchmarks courtesy imperial Germany and Obama would not have been president were it not for the financing of the likes of George Soros and yes Steve Jobs..

If you start a company that makes money and hires employees, you can’t be a commie?

That’s rich.
