Steve Jobs dies

[foq]

Relax, Grim. Bashing Apple isn't the same as bashing Steve Jobs. Steve was a successful businessman who ran a company which made many user friendly, idiot-proof devices. The general public loves Apple products. Those few, such as myself, who have a higher level of technical understanding stray away from Apple products because we have better options available to us—better products that aren't locked down like a maximum security prison; however, Steve didn't do anything wrong by pushing these products. He made something that works and is enjoyed by the masses... the few people like me who don't like Apple products being the small exception. As I said, he was a successful businessman.

You seem to be having gay thoughts, are you considering your sexuality? I wasn't a hater, when did I say that? I just hate his obsessive fanboys that say "APPLE'S BETTER THAN ANYTHING EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKS!".

That's not Jobs' fault though. We can pay respects to the man while still disliking the fanatical followers.

I'm not a fan of Apple products but I can still respect Steve Jobs. Too young to die at 56, I say. Puts life in perspective. I'm 33... creeping up there slowly.

so i say, good riddance

You seem to be on your period and you're emotional. Why be a hater? He did what he did. Give him props.

Steve, the man.

He will be missed, insanely greatly.

Seriously, i got EMO about this.

I was there back in '84, bought the 256k mac, (also bought "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy") for it.

He lived his life full throttle, and no one told him how to dream!


Thank You Steve

FFFFuuuuuuuckkkkk yeahhhhhhh

[Authentic]

I hate how people praise him as if he made some new generation, besides the only people I see using Apples products are pathetic emotional teenagers having their periods and crying on it and using facebook.

If Bill Gates was Professor Moriarty, Steve Jobs was Sherlock Holmes.... and all things considered, he fn owned plenty of market's outside home computing.

Steve Jobs = Silicon Valley pioneer.

Yes, Apple seemed to be highly advanced with the hardware side, but not many
people were writing sw for that platform. If you watch the POSV movie, they are launching new hardware all the time. SW is something that Bill Gates / MS
want to get into, but Jobs is scared that he will steal the Apple technology, when Gates is really a software guy and could care less about the hardware, hes only interested in exploiting the hardware for his software. Jobs get mad at him for stealing the technology he pioneered, but anyone with enough bucks could buy an apple and reverse engineer it. Sounds like something IBM would do, MS was too small at the time to achieve this..

Let's not forget that the Apple II back in, I think, 1977? Was one of the great innovations of the era. Probably the most advanced personal computer of its time (certainly way more so than the Altair 8800 of a year or two earlier!) and a big step forward.Of course once IBM got into the game and the earliest PC came out with the first version of MS-DOS, the future was set!

It's never too soon!

[Frenzy]

He indeed did help change the world to an extent. But he obviously didn't have his apple a day, now did he? And when it came to dying, he didn't have an app for that Still a genius

"Truly a staple of his sucess, is the fact that most people found out about his death on a device he invented".

[Mindf!3ldzX]

I thought this was going to be a joke thread, lol. This was quite unexpected, but I just hate that people are now saying "OHHES HE CHANGED THE WORLD", it really pisses me off. He made Mac, iPod and iPhone but it didn't change the world. TBH I think Apple's products are pretty shit.

I think that Apple sold his soul to the devil when it started to use x86-based processors. It was only for money, because powerPC processors were better and faster than x86 ones.

RIP, Steve! it was funny, without money, in 1984...
