Tweakers
Watching an episode from Season 4 of Mad Men tonight, hot on the heels of having read Malcolm Gladwell's entertaining review of the Walter Isaacson biography of Steve Jobs, am I pushing too far to say that Jobs reminds me of nobody so much as Don Draper--a megalomaniac, a bully, a perfectionist, a user and abuser of others, a man with a shadowy past and above all, a tweaker?

“He will go through a process of looking at my ideas and say, ‘That’s no good. That’s not very good. I like that one.’ And later I will be sitting in the audience and he will be talking about it as if it was his idea.”
BTW: I think you ment to link to this:
