I didn't know him personally, but I feel a great sense of loss since he was really brilliant and a genius in the sense he brought a lot of innovation that has reshaped the way we do things. I have the second generation iPhone (I know it may be a dinosaur), but it's one thing I bring along everywhere I go - to check emails, go to Hisstank, check eBay, call people, type up a note, take photos on the go. I also have the old iPod, which I haven't used since I got my iPhone, but it was amazing and still is. The W loves the iPad I got for her birthday. If there was a guy who lived his life to the fullest, although limited, it was Steve. He's really someone to admire. He was adopted. He never finished college and he took classes he wanted, not what they told him, he started a company that's become so successful, it's hard not to envy. He was uniquely and brilliantly gifted.

Alright, alright. All these people acting offended by the joking posts need to stop.
None of you gave a fuck about Steve Jobs before, so don't act like you do now. Everyone just loooooves to be offended by nothing nowadays. Am I happy he's dead - no. But I'm not gonna sit here and post like I'm all broken up about it. Seriously, though. I'm on an IMac. I hope this post doesn't jinx me! Last edited by Cobra Terrorist; 10-05-2011 at 09:23 PM.. |

I don't really care about Steve Jobs. He's one of the largest employers in China, but that probably won't change with Apple. Foreign bankers where he hides his money to avoid taxes probably won't be affected much either.
Apple is the 2nd largest so called 'American' company in the world, but all he really did in the US was sell his products and make a few people rich. I like PCs better then Macs anyway, so I don't really care. All you Jobs fans just remember he wasn't producing jobs in the US, so enjoy your Chinese products with the Apple logo on them. |

If we can step aside from the slugfest, regarding jokes or whatnot..
Damn. I'm ambidextrous in my computer use, so I'm really not in either camp of the Mac versus PC battles, but I can definitely say that he gave clear shape and direction to the tools and user interfaces that many of us take for granted today, and he had an excellent industrial design sensibility that directly informed every product that Apple put out, and thus raised the bar. His death is a real loss. And that's my thought on the subject.
