It was actually the third episode, so it's out of sequence and a week and a half ahead of the air date.
Also - I saw the episode last night, so I'm not worried about spoilers. But why not put the actual spoilers after the jump, so that people who are just coming on to read Gawker can choose whether they want to see Mad Men spoilers.
So Steve Jobs has been been irresponsibly denying Steve Jobs the medical treatments that might have saved Steve Jobs' life?
I think that horrible. How could Steve Jobs do such a thing?
If Steve Jobs dies, he'll have no one but Steve Jobs to blame. And then, for the rest of his life, Steve Jobs will have to live with the guilt of having caused his own death.
It's a bit early to be skimming the files for his obituary. And FYI, those examples you give to justify your assertion that Jobs has hubris: They all seem like incredibly forward-thinking innovations from a remarkable man.
I'm not an Apple girl, but I know when credit is due. Hope he gets better.
I wish him the best, but as someone who covered Jobs for years, worse than being fast-and-loose with the truth is the fact that he studiously never groomed a successor. He was, I think paranoid at the prospect of ever losing his baby again (as if that could ever happen). His bad to the Apple shareholders, who are in a fine mess to come up with a replacement who is cult.
These are interesting observations, but they presume to come from a place inside his head that none of us have access to. I think it's still a little too early to try to mold him into a mythical character, equipped with the stock dramatic motivations.
But I could just be coming from an emotional place right now. Either way, let's not bury him before he's dead.

If Gawker has to include comments like this, must you link them to Jezebel? We're not into it.

"I feel like Dorothy. Everything just turned to color."
And of course there was the Beat guy telling Don he couldn't leave the apartment because the police were there, and Don replies, "No. YOU can't."
Ha!

Gawd, that's about the most mawkish thing I've ever read! At least let the poor bastard die before you embalm him in schmaltz!
