For the past few weeks we've seen the overheated spectacle of Steve Jobs' hi-tech canonization. St. Steven of Applevania was described as a great man who single-handedly brought the world into the computer age by inventing self-described "neat things". His gift for reliably tickling America's zeitgeist was legendary, though dubiously important. His talent owes a lot to H.L. Mencken's quote, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public." And the puffery continues on to Obama and Bush.
