RIP Steve Jobs

[r3vange]

Well the title says it all, on 5 Octomber 2011, Steve Jobs passed away.

I didn't like him very much but I cannot deny his contribution to technology. Also I sense a lock but what the hell, just saying RIP

Was about to make a topic when I heard about it in chat.

While its a git that he died to cancer if I remember right, I'll give him this. He was innovative and he brought a product that was laughed at in the 90's into one of the most 'fashionable' pieces of consumer products to date.

Points for innovation, but I'll always rant about Apple's business practices.

R.I.P Steve, you were a great business man.

Beat me to it.



Steve Jobs just found out that heaven uses Windows 3.11 ...

(j/k - hey, he was only 6 years older than I am - so all of you Apple fans - both of you - can just lighten up. And I say this as both an ex-Microsoft employee and legitimately as 27 year cancer survivor.)



And yeah, admins and moderators, humor in the face of adversity is a VERY human reaction.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.

So long, Steve, and thanks for all the fruit...

It's official, I have too few ships now...

[Swallow]

Even though I use android tech, I still respect his I-products, and even though he manage to do some not good thing to another companies, rest in peace, good man

Yep, FunnyJunk, Memebase, and Omegle are infected too.



All Imma say is that it's a good life lost, even if I do hate Apple products with a passion.

He was a genius and an artist. While I was no fan of his products because of the proprietary mentality Apple has and due to the extremely high prices of their products I have to admit they did change the industry. Both in positive and negative ways.

Sadly for Steve, with his passing so passes Apple's success. Without him, Apple failed hard. The first kingpin of the internet era is gone.

From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

RIP to Steve. Not just for his apple work, but the fact that he made Pixar independent in 1986 allowed us some of the best movies in tha last 2 years.

In other words, he owned Pixar when they produced Toy Story!!! Can you really hate him THAT much for his Apple stuff if he's done so much else where? Also, don't take away the fact that he brought the GUI to the mass market, as Xerox were stupid and couldn't find a use for it.
