But now the birthing is over, and even if people believe the myth that he's an asshole, so what? Did that really hurt his predecessors? Did anyone think Steve Jobs was lovable. Bill Gates? His role model was &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Burns&quot;&gt;Mr Burns&lt;/a&gt; on The Simpsons. (And Sorkin tells us in the closing scene of the movie that Zuck isn't really an asshole (something we've already figured out) he just tries real hard to seem like one.)"></outline>

And guess what, that's &lt;i&gt;exactly&lt;/i&gt; what he's doing. Good work. "></outline>
