Steve Jobs dies

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.

Wow, cant believe that! 56 yrs old?

Loved that movie pirates of Silicon Valley. Me and my best frend in high school that studied electronics together were a younger version of Steve J and Steve W....so I identify alot with the motivations behind Apple...and the brotherhood relationship with the competition and clashing views. My senior year in High School I got to attend a big trade school that had all the latest electronic innovations, and one kid was allowed to borrow an Apple computer, forgot what model it was maybe the 2E, and he loaded up Choplifter written by Broderbund software, used this fancy Joystick with big buttons to play, and we we all speechless in the classroom - clearly this was way ahead of anything out there in 1982 at the time with the colors , graphics and sound. My big dream was toown an Amiga computer later, but I put the Apple so out of reach in my mind, I never thought about it much after that, probably cos the price tag was in the thousands if I remember right.

RIP Steve. Was never a fan of Apple products but there's no denying he was a hell of an innovator and a hell of a businessman.
