Steve Jobs

[Pyraxis]

He's had cancer and been getting treatment off and on for a few years now. I guess it finally got bad enough that he couldn't keep working.

I mostly use PC's now but I grew up with Macs and will probably always have nostalgia for the early Mac shareware games, ResEdit, Ultrapaint, Virtus 3D, etc.

Really, I think anyone who charges 100 dollars for a fucking simple 2GB RAM upgrade deserves cancer IMO.

Greed is the most unpunished crime to humanity in the world.

Actually.

I'd say it's rape , torture , murder , child abuse and animal cruelty which are the most unpunished crime.

Exactly how is this man greedy? , he's a successful buisness man that does not automatically = greedy , as it stands he's actually a buddhist so greedy is the least likely thing he's going to be.

If there's a problem anywhere, it's in the Chinese factories where iPads are produced, ya know, like Foxconn in Shenzhen where eleven workers killed themselves by jumping off the roof in the space of a year.

Dunno that Jobs had much to do with that though.

Outsourcing to sweatshops in the Far East: All the great American businessmen are doing it!

My friend said something to me along the lines of "Arrest a stoner, but never arrest a con artist."

Says the fat bastard.

Steve Jobs is a businessman who is talented in marketing. I may not like a lot of his products and his retarded fanbase but I have to give him respect for using his marketing skills to get computers widespread (and to get people to buy LITERALLY anything).

I thought it was Microsoft that brought computers to the mainstream?

Indirectly Apple is resposnible, because they choose to continue to do business with Foxconn, even though they have to be aware of this situation.

Very first computer I learned on was an Apple IIe. In the early '80's, Apple dominated.

IBM based PC's didn't take over until the late '80's.

They copied the Macintosh GUI at that.

The Mac OS GUI was inspired by the Xerox Alto's GUI.
