Steve Jobs
Lost his fight to cancer. His company has made some great things, he was truly an innovator. May he rest in peace.

RE: Steve Jobs
Yeah.. too bad.. he is not old either.. only in his mid-50s..

RE: Steve Jobs
Too young, only 56. Definitely one of the most innovative and influential people of his generation.

All they did was put components in pretty boxes, added a pretty GUI, and sold it. They didn't do all that much.

I'm not an apple fanboy by any stretch, but I do recognize what he has done to the computer industry... especially out of his garage. Edit: spelling |
RE: Steve Jobs
Yeah, you don't need to be an Apple fan to acknowledge Jobs and
his company have influenced the high tech industry. Not just personal computers, but digital music and smartphones as well. |
RE: Steve Jobs
May he rest in peace. Always liked the man.

RE: Steve Jobs
I just heard a radio news show report on where and how all Apple products are made...yes you guessed it it the typical huge sweatshop factories
in CHINA of course...According to this report the working conditions are so bad the UPPER FLOORS OF THESE FACTORIES ACTUALLY HAVE PLASTIC WEBBINGS AROUND THE BUILDINGS FOR EACH FLOOR, to foil the suicide attempts by the wretched workers who are driven mad by what they must endure..I swear I have not made this fact up.. So to conclude while the components cost and total manufacturing costs for thier products are surely about equal of competing pc ect products, Apple thrives generating much higher profits based on thier unjustly higher markups, which they command thanks to idiot consumers who percieve Apple stuff to be 'cool" To conclude while IMHO Steve Jobs clearly was a brilliant buisnessman , not a technical genius..certainly NO NICOLA TESLA! And if Steve Jobs were a AMERICAN PATRIOT he would have kept or brought back the many thousands of manufacturing jobs to the US.. But then in fairness surely one could level the same charge at Bill Gates, as well as the ceo's of the rest of the major US pc compainies, Dell, HP and so forth.. |

They also innovated telling you what you can put on what you purchased ;) Try getting an app for the iphone that apple didn't like without jailbreaking(and voiding your waranty) it ;) Also dunno where "Not only did they bring manufacturing costs down so computers were accessible to the lower and middle class, " there computers were always more expensive than IBM's, or commodor's, and still are way more expensive than other PC's with the same exact specs (outside the apple logo on the cover, and running that POS OS). |

I like how everyone completely ignores all the other reasons apple has sued Samsung. http://www.techdirt.com/blog/wireles...diculous.shtml The Galaxy tab being shaped by like the ipad was only a very small part of it. Everyone shifts their attention to apple because of this. Never mind Microsoft suing the **** out of Google for patent infringement, and Google buying up tons of patents, then selling them to patent trolls who turned around and attacked apple. You do know that HTC has to pay Microsoft $20 for every phone they sell right? Yeah, Apple has been all over the headlines the past year or so... but that is no reason to completely blow off all they have achieved over the years. |

Yeah, Apple has been all over the headlines the past year or so... but that is no reason to completely blow off all they have achieved over the years. Once saw a patent for something that looked exactly like a wii-mote(and according to the patent description functioned exactly like a wii mote) submitted by apple 5 months after nintendo showed the wi-mote off at E3... Also take offense at people saying the commador was a piece of crap it did everything an apple IIe did(had the disk based C64, which came out around the time the apple iie). I learned to program in basic on one, and had a fairly decent software library, and games that played the same as or better than what I saw on the apple IIe that I had access to a year or so later. Only difference was you needed a disk in the drive for the apple to do anything the commador you didn't. I also had a Texas instruments PC that hooked up to the TV Now that one was a piece of crap. Then in 88 I got an Intel 386 for $700 with the same specs(including a color printer) as the apple $5500 model (-OS, and lack of software) yup $5500 was very affordable Intel was the one that caused computer prices to become affordable, not apple. |

Horrible way to die, but I've known people that had the same cancer, and suffered way more due to not being able to afford his level of healthcare. Sorry if I sound like an ass hole but I personally didn't know the man and could care less that he died. Just like if it was reversed he wouldn't give a crap about me. |

RE: Steve Jobs
sorry I just cant stand people trying to come off he was gods gift to computing where he wasn't. I see enough of people treating him like he was a saint, or some kind of god on other sites I visit. All he was good at was selling a turd as gold to people. Horrible way to die, but I've known people that had the same cancer, and suffered way more due to not being able to afford his level of healthcare. Sorry if I sound like an ass hole but I personally didn't know the man and could care less that he died. Just like if it was reversed he wouldn't give a crap about me. As for disengagement from human society, John Donne in his "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions" is more in touch with the ties that bind us all together. He wrote: </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US">No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.</span>"</span></span> |

Sir, when your job is outsourced to an asian person who earns $1 per day doing it, then perhaps you will learn the meaning of "free trade". |

RE: Steve Jobs
Ok, I cleaned up the thread. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You turned a memorial into a mud slinging fest over politics and opinions. Really low. Insulting to the entire RC community. Any members who continue to vent in this thread will be put on moderated status.

I was surprised at the announcement that 300 million iPods have been sold.
The Newton was way ahead of it's time. Sort of a great idea outrunning current technology. |
