Look at the ratio of votes for "iSteve" compared to his rating? If I was a mathemetician I would try and normalize the curve to predict what Ballmer's rating would be at with 5x the number of votes (what Jobs has). If it's true, maybe it's just the "brand positioning" of names? Is Ballmer a more likeable name than "Jobs"? Do people even know how to pronounce "Jobs"? If he just went by "Jobs" (like the "highlarious" GOB from Arrested) would he rate better? Anyway, clearly the data is skewed when Conan the Barbarian is tied with the Material Girl. I mean, c'mon...it's Conan!
