My god this is poorly written: "he beats to a different drummer." I didn't know it was possible to mangle a cliche so thoroughly. Also, regurgitating jobs' best quotes and attributing them to "legend" is not informative in the least. Next time anybody thinks of voting a story like this up ask thyself "what would jon Gruber do?"

Well just for your info, these texts were written by Sculley himself and published on Bloomberg Businessweek as attributed in the post. I guess everybody would agree that every word in it went through a good editorial. And besides, he is using beautiful combinations of simple English words to describe Jobs. I don't find any problem anywhere.
As for the "legend" quote, I ask you to kindly read the line again. It says "What Steve Jobs said to make Pepsi executive John Sculley defect to Apple, according to legend." and it is truly written as that is what Steve Jobs said but but it has never been verified by either Steve, or Sculley himself.
So now who is being just a hater?
