So, let's recap; he gets made a commander (yeah right) of the Most Excellent Order (hahahah) of the British Empire (which hasn't existed for nigh on 50 years) for designing an MP3 player!

It's not an honour given to those who have contributed the most value to our society, it's a pat on the head from the rich for those who have made them the most money.
