Some dead geniuses are easier to elevate to god-like status for some people.
I don't call being sad that someone who has touched the lives of so many people and quite literally changed the way we communicate across the globe as a species has died canonization.

All that said, if I may return to elevating Steve Jobs to godhood, I was just a little let down that when I started up my Mac at work this morning that it didn't give me a sad Mac icon. Part of me really believed that there was secret coding worked into the OS that would make a sad Mac pop up after Jobs died.
