I despise and loathe Apple for a lot reasons, but that doesn't mean, Steve Jobs was not one of the most brilliant minds, marketers, businessman of the 20th century. I give credit where credit is due, he created a cult brand, and his company created one great product (the iPod) his computers were always behind in the hardware department and OSX is nothing but a hacked version of Unix so the "Mac" really wasn't anything new, but his marketing and execution was always brilliant.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs.

I think he held himself back by not conforming until it was too late with popular industry standards.

I grew up using apples and macs and I didn't even know wtf the difference between a PC and the others were yet. I wish I had grown up a few years earlier so I could have been there for all of it at a better age. My first computer was an IBM x86 which I think had 16mb of ram tops? I played Zork, Doom, various AD&D games, and other ancients on floppy and those are some of my fondest memories of growing up for me. Learning how to use DOS was what led me to go into programming, too. I would shit a brick if I saw what would come of computing back then.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs, you were very important in the tech world and we owe a lot to you.


(that's what I posted to another forum I frequent)

don't forget he's one of the great contributors to slavery in china and gives alot of business to factories that imprison their workers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

no, its cuz he actually contributed something to the world as opposed to some meth addict in arizona who lives off the govt cheese his whole life before dying of an overdose at the ripe age of 26

lol @ the confusing the relentless slobbering that overtakes broadcast media outlets after the death of any extremely famous person as having any correlation with that person's contributions to humanity

In either case, we can be assured that not a single fuck will be given the day you keel over.
