iSnow Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 So the writer is mad because he didn't give to the poor? Steve Jobs wasn't a very great man, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSnow Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 @DDunit:> I don't think you understood what the writer meant.I know what he means, just messing around.Steve Jobs wasn't the greatest man, people should stop idolizing him so much for being the voice of other people's work.

lollicat Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I agree in that he wasn't great, but I disagree that we shouldn't still be upset over his death at all. Just because he wasn't extraordinary doesn't mean his death doesn't deserve mourning, as the death of any is something to be regretted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thanks to him we have an entire generation who believe that it's common practise to replace an entire computer when upgrading. Oh, and that 600% premiums on everything is worth it for an Apple logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Isnt this just the same old story? why are we sad for a person when hundreds of people die in Africa each day? looks like the same old argument to me. Let people mourn who they want. Not sure why this writer cares what people though of him. In my opinion he wasn't inherently good or bad, if people enjoy his products let them use them.

Robin Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Steve Jobs bought 13 mansions in different states and used his personal jet so he could register on every single donation list he could find for a new liver. He used his incredible wealth to prolong his own life. **Prolong.** Liver transplant simply gives a small boost to people with aggressive pancreatic cancer.So instead of being available to someone who only has the resources to register locally and could possibly be cured with a liver transplant it was used on Steve Jobs, the guy who could jet out at a moment's notice.Whilst he's doing that and selling overpriced hardware Bill Gates is using his vast wealth to make the world a better place.The guy was just a bit of a dick.

Broseff Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I feel that the biggest downside to his death is that Without him, Apple is incompetent and quite frankly a big derp. Their stupidity will allow Microsoft to become all that is PC, which will then result in Microsoft being microsoft and they will pretend that they are a standard setting company and we will have IE6 all over again, but at a larger, more annoying scale.Please Adobe. Compile your software for Linux so I can be free of Microderp's terribly ugly OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroom Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 He retired from Apple before he died though. So his death wont affect the company at all, Nickolai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummerpete Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I disliked Steve Jobs & Apple.I dislike Microsoft, but at least Bill Gates isn't a _complete_ arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonk Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hasn't anyone noticed that someone as greedy and selfish, who used sweatshops to produce his over expensive gadgets coupled with horrid software has died and everyone is wailing and moaning, even those who didn't know who he was until he died, but then Dennis Ritchie, who wrote the C language, thus is probably responsible for Steve Jobs' success, died on the 8th and not a single newspaper gave a fork?

Kusy Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Like… how old was he? I wouldn't mind dying at the age of 56 if I had that ducking amount of cash when I was alive. No pity from me.Also, lolwhat? He was a board member of The Walt Disney Company? Now I can blame him not only for shitty hardware, but also for shitty cartoons.
