I really don't have time to read the whole article. One of my closest friends worked right down the hall from Jobs and knew him on a first name basis. He said, and I quote, "he fucked up the raising of my kids with his reality distortion field. If I saw him coming down the hall I'd turn around and go the other way thinking "I don't want to talk to that mother fucker today, he's just going to mess up my life". Another one of my good friends, a Stanford Masters ME, has a daughter that briefly worked for Apple (Stanford grad as well). She left when she got shit for going home for dinner when she had the flu.
I'm embedded in the Apple universe, but I hate the company and what it has done to Silicon Valley.
I think the JWST team would do better to keep a low profile until they know all is well after deployment.
As for "eye candy" a lot of the imaging may well be at a single wavelength so a single color. Many images of exoplanets will probably be dots and the, the interesting information being distribution of IR "colors" from point sources.
