Dennis Ritchie and the Dynamics of Fame

Dennis Ritchie died on the 12th of October, a week after Steve Jobs did.
While Steve Jobs's got about 210 million effusive eulogies across the world Dennis Ritchie passed away mostly unheralded.
Should it be any different, you may ask. After all Jobs is Jobs. Who by the way is Deniss Ritchie?
Ah! the self-referential circulairty of Fame.
Dennis Ritchie is the guy who created the C programming language and along with Ken Thompson created the UNIX operating system. As anyone who knows something about computing will tell you, C is at the heart of all computer programming.Even if a program today is written in some other language, that language itself is written in C.
But C apparently does not hold a candle to shiny little things with the prefix i when it comes to Fame. Is Fame fickle? Is it a lottery who gets to be Famous? Somebody someday will define the dynamics of Fame. Till then here are two photographs - one is of Dennis Ritchie and the other Steve Jobs. See if you can tell which one is which.
