I know very little about Apple, but I do think he was :viking: to have stayed alive and active for seven years with his health problems.
-
Have to admit. I knew little about him until his health problems.
Sad though.
-
Yeah, 56 is too young to die.
Sorry for my redundant thread, I didn't see the older one. :duh:
-
Fuck steve. He can gargle my balls, man. Hs recent products have made me nauseous.
-
Fuck you. You don't have to be a soldier to be a great man.
:'(
-
Seriously, I work with computers for a living, and even I never heard of him until a few weeks ago when it was mentioned here that he got cancer ...
-
he was the ceo of apple... sucks to be the bastard but i am not going to say i care to much. its sad to see a life as great as his pass but if i cryed for every decent man who dies than i doubt i would be anywhere close to sane
-
:'(
-
I don't understand. I don't understand why people cry when someone they don't know dies.
I get that he was a great man, but I don't get why people who did not know him personally are upset.
Is it because he won't make apple things anymore?

I am not crying over his death, but I do feel a little sadness that he has died so young.
I figure his illness and death remind some people of similar tragedies in their own families, so they identify with him.

I personally don't feel much with regards to his death. But I can understand it's a sad event for the people who know him and love him.

It's because I have lots of good memories about Macs from when I was little, and I know that his vision was an important part of Apple and it's the truth that it won't be the same without him.

i just dont feel about death period. my uncle is currently dieing of cancer [dont know what kind] and i have not talked to him at all. seen him on facebook. sent him the ocasional IM. but never a response back. truth be told, i am more concerned about my dad who has depression and how he will deal with it than my uncle who is now not even going to make it to X-MAS. in my mind and in the imortal words from the game oblivion "death comes to us all, we know not the day nor the hour. in this, i am blessed" {king knows when hes going to die}

I said earlier that I kind of felt bad. But now, I think I have to agree with Rage.
I will quote someone from another forum.
The man was a fool with absolutely no aptitude for how technology works (he looked at the insides of one of the older apple computers and declared that it looked hideous) and nearly sank apple.
A decade later technology had reached a point where those sorts of things didn't matter, and he made a successful marketing campaign off lying to customers repeatedly till they started believing it, selling old technology at a premium, and then purposely designing it to fail, critically, early so that he could bullshit people further about how his laptops run quietly. And I'm not even mentioning the sheer impossibility of upgrading your hardware.
When we live in a world where there's virtually no such thing as a machine that runs silently I don't see why computers should be any different, especially when a laptop on average lasts two years as-is.
In terms of being an absolute business man he's brilliant, but he's absolutely disgusting as a human being. I didn't like him when he was alive, and I won't miss him now that he's 6 feet under.
Well said. This is why Steve Jobs doesn't deserve your empathy, folks.
-
I really don't give a fuck about what he was as a person. Tell me anyone died of cancer and I am gonna say it is sad. Why? Because cancer is a fucking horrid disease. I do not "value" his life or death as much as anyone else,s but I have seen how cancer fucks with people, and it is not the type of thing to wish on an enemy. To have it hit anyone is terrible.
Not crying over it or gonna have a day of mourning but I sure as hell won't say "Fuck you Steve jobs you deserved that horrible, wasting, debilitating disease. Serves you right because of your efforts with your fucking job."
If anyone can not see this, I sure as hell won't bother explaining it.

When I read crap like what Penty and Rage are posting I can only assume that they are jealous of his success and unhappy with their own lives.

He died of a slow painful disease and never commited any gross crimes such as rape or murder.
Fuck technology , the fact a human being died of such a horrible disease is more important than who or what he did for a living.
You need to get a grip on reality. :thumbdn:

I've lost people I love to cancer and it's a horrible way to go. Who fucking cares if you use Apple computers or not, in that context?

Rage is trolling. Penty is seeing this as tentative support to a previously shouted down claim and seeing whether it is now going to be taken with any more enthusiasm. It isn't. it was shitty.

The only thing that's sad is how people have bought into his pathological lying and his dubious and overpriced products. But that's the way it goes.

I can think of other things that are sad. I genuinely shed a small tear when I imagine your bloated corpse being stuffed into a cardboard box and buried in a mass grave with the other unclaimed bodies while nobody is there to watch or care except a guy in a hardhat and maybe the friend of one of the other hobos you are being buried with.
-
But to talk from a economic point of view, Steve Job's death may result in Apple's key market success and dominance coming to a gradual end in the near future. Usually visionaries like him, even if not directly managing the company (by sickness or retirement), have a major influence on how the company succeeds.
Sort of like loosing the Captain of a ship, and he was the only one who knew how to work the navigation properly.

I'd be dead then, so why should I give a shit what happens to my corpse?

I don't get the sadness of people I did not know, or connect with either.
Doesn't take away that I wish no-one a nasty death or a horrible disease.

I won't be sad for him simply because I don't know him. That and he was a bit of an egotistical cunt, but then again that's typical when it comes to big companies.
That said, I don't entirely hate him. As I pointed out before, I respect him for his marketing abilities. He can get literally anyone to buy his stuff. The cunt even got me to buy a macbook, because of how he influenced the creative media industry to be 99.9999% Apple. :zoinks:
I'll type up some jokes later on that are circling around college.

Steve Jobs’s last words:
Steve Jobs’s last words: The eulogy of Steve Jobs by his sister, novelist Mona Simpson, was published in the New York Times over the weekend, offering a touching look into the late Apple co-founder’s life and last days.
The speech, in a few deft strokes, sketches the outline of a man who never stopped learning or trying to move forward. Hours before he slipped into unconsciousness, however, he did leave some enigmatic final words, which Simpson wrote in all capitals letters in her speech.
“Before embarking, he’d looked at his sister Patty, then for a long time at his children, then at his life’s partner, Laurene, and then over their shoulders past them. Steve’s final words were: OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fast..._blog.html (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fast..._blog.html)
People are fascinated by last words. They can be viewed as a summing up of a life. Because the person saying them has nothing left to gain (except in terms of their legacy), they can be seen by some as an honest a representation of a person’s true opinions as one can get in this life. And there’s a mystical quality to last words–we hear them and wonder if the person saying them can give us any insight or information about what’s really on the other side.
Sometimes last words seem grim. Sigmund Freud reportedly remarked “Now it’s nothing but torture and makes no sense anymore.”
Others display deathbed wit. One of the last things Oscar Wilde said before his death was “My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go.” (Although widely cited as his last words, according to the biography “Oscar Wilde” by Richard Ellmann, he actually said this many days before his death.)
Some last words are optimistic. Legend has it that Beethoven declared “I shall hear in heaven!”
But how accurate are such reports about the last words of famous figures? Ray Robinson, author of “Famous Last Words, Fond Farewells, Deathbed Diatribes, and Exclamations Upon Expiration,” notes in the introduction to his book that “I’ve come to appreciate the difficulty of authenticating so-called exit lines, since witnesses are often too distraught or confused to remember things accurately, or simply choose to edit or improve the remarks for the sake of posterity.”
For example, in 1920, the dying Notre Dame football player George Gipp was supposed to have told football coach Knute Rockne to ask one of his teams to “win one for the Gipper”–a phrase that Ronald Reagan, who played Gipp in the movie “Knute Rockne, All American,” later adopted for his political career. But according to Jack Cavanaugh’s book “The Gipper,” Hunk Anderson, the last player to have seen Gipp alive, doubts that the football star ever really said that. (On the other hand, Rockne’s wife said her husband even noted the phrase in his diary after it happened.)
Simpson, in her essay, suggested that her brother Steve Jobs’s last words had something to do with his “capacity for wonderment, the artist’s belief in the ideal, the still more beautiful later.”
Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson, in a recent interview on “60 Minutes,” said that in his final encounters with his subject, the Apple founder began to talk more about his thoughts on God and an afterlife. Was Jobs’s final wow somehow connected?
Inventor Thomas Edison’s last words were close in spirit to Jobs’s reported exit line.
According to various sources, including the book “Edison: Inventing the Century” by Neil Baldwin, hours before his death, Edison emerged from a coma, opened his eyes, looked upwards and said “It is very beautiful over there.”
Which may be another way of saying “Oh wow.”
