>In many people's eyes he's just grabbing fame by latching himself onto Steve Jobs.

Interesting. This is exactly the opposite of how most technical people I know would describe the situation.

>I think he would have gained less publicity but more respect if he stepped out of the limelight a little more often.

I don't see why a technical person should avoid publicity any more than a business person. I mean, sure, it's better to have publicity for your technical achievements, but let's face facts. Few in the mainstream media care about your technical achievements.

As for the Kathy Griffin thing, eh, so he's seeing someone famous. Who cares? I mean, it's not something that'd make me respect him more, but I guess I don't really see why it'd make anyone respect him less.
