Steve Jobs 1 year today tribute on Apple

[OhEsEcks]

Y'all obviously don't know the stories about Jobs. He was a nasty piece of work, a complete *******. There were probably some very happy apple employees when they found out he died.

Anyone old enough can remember when Bill Gates was an ******** too. He wasn't always throwing all that money he has at starving people.

I can't understand how people could feel so strongly for this man.

Essentially all I see is a successful CEO who dedicated his life to creating user friendly tech for the masses. Why that makes him significant in the slightest is beyond me.

6 years ago today my dad died, doesn't seem a year already since Jobs.

 

[Cosimo]

Celebrating his death day? That's morbid.

There's nothing wrong with celebrating someone’s life on the anniversary of their death or at any other time.

Wow, I cant believe its been a year already. THAT is depressing lol.

The message is a nice touch on the site

This reminds me of a news report one year after Saint Diana died and one old woman was balling her eyes out saying to camera

"I cry every day for her"

That man be dead.

or gave anything of real value to Mankind, unless you count little white gadgets as being of any particular value to mankind in the long term.

If Steve Jobs didn't give anything of real value to mankind, then neither did Thomas Edison or Philo Farnsworth or Percy Spencer or Braun or Marconi or Jimmy Wales.

He wasn't just a 'tech company CEO', just like Bill Gates wasn't - they were both inventors and innovators.

 

[Fenris]

Well what do you know, I still don't care.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Down hill since Tim has been on top it would seem.

 

[fadetoblack]

Get a grip world his corporation MADE $$$$$$ outer us. It's sad he died but come on people

 

[Hatter The Mad]

Down hill since Tim has been on top it would seem.

Except that, since Jobs died:

• The company is worth more
• The company sells more
• The company is more profitable
• The company is, relatively, more ethical
• Steve Jobs' hands-on work will reach at least the iPhone 6

outer us

Idiots and money are easily parted

But guess whats the difference was between them years later huh?

I do think we are currently see Apple's peak as we speak. The rot is starting to settle into the products, people are still buying them in buckets but in a few short years it's going to fail big time

One died and the other decided to buy his way out of the ******* reputation he'd made for himself and make himself slightly more important in history by doing charity work?

I don't recall Gates ever having that kind of reputation, Jobs on the other hand its well documented he could be a total ******** to work with.


Didn't take long for this thread to be derailed.

Indeed, I'm unaware of any negative press towards Gates, other than the usual Microsoft haters and those who disliked someone having "too much" wealth
