I wouldn't be surprised if license plates violate Jobs' aesthetic principles, though, why he would mount a frame and no plate is beyond me.

He's also notorious for parking in handicapped spots. Goes to show what a tool that guy is.

don't know him personally but have a lot of respect for what he has been able to do and the way he can conceptualize and then realize his ideas. Jobs is truly a pioneer and innovator in the applied technology field and recognized as one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time. His creations have changed the way people live, and continue to do so. He's has 3 very successful ventures/concepts (Apple. Pixar, and the launch of i-related devices/apps) where most are lucky to even have one...to me that's extraordinary!

His bout with cancer was in 2003. I've read blogs from apple insiders that he parked there all the time until it started generating bad press. It still doesn't explain the lack of plates or handicap placard.

Agreed... he's a highly successful innovator... but I still think he's an arrogant tool
