Steve Jobs Has Died

[The Special One]

Just what we need in this recession. The loss of more jobs. When will it end?!

[Acid]

Funeral planning? There's an app for that.

[Cardie]

iPhone 4s wasn't that bad

[Cardie]

I'm genuinely upset.

 

 

Ironic given apple tries to control everything you do with their products.

[Jairzinho]

This is extremely distressing.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

They better fuck off with that half mast shit, my signal is bad enough as it is.

[The Flâneur]

This news must have shaken Apple to its core.

Ironic given apple tries to control everything you do with their products.

Firstly, that's not even close to being ironic. Secondly, Apple are absolutely massive in the creative industry; I certainly feel exactly the opposite about what their products did for me. Neither of those things have anything to do with my feeling upset at Jobs' passing. All in all, a bit of a shit post.

Nothing to do with your feelings I was responding to the speech you quoted.

 

And while we're at it, anyone who starts saying they're devastated and really upset because the CEO of a massive company that they've never met has died needs their fucking heads read the fucking dramatic fan boys.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Fuck, sorry Cardie. My bad: just didn't show up in the quote. Still disagree on the 'controlling' aspect of your post, though.

I know realised it didn't too late to edit it.

 

I'd say by their nature they are a massively controlling company, certainly when it comes to the iPhone.

I think they've got a closed system in some of their post-pc devices, but they're not a controlling company in terms of how they've acted through history. If anything, they've given the creative industry the tools and the freedom to thrive.

 

The iPod and stuff... doesn't really mean much to me: just some great hand held bits and bobs. All of which were incredibly innovative.

You do have to wonder how these people cope when someone they actually care about dies.

[Cliff T. Beast]

I feel that, without his leadership, Apple may crumble.

You can guarantee there will be some sort of vigil or shrine outside apple stores somewhere in the world.

[Anny Road]

I've not been this upset since the blue peter garden was vandalised.

As somebody who has lost close family, I reckon I'm fairly in touch with my feelings on this one. I am upset that he has died.

 

You've got to question, in my opinion, those going on the attack just because some people like Apple as a company. I'm not a fanboy, but I am a long time user of the products and I thought Steve Jobs was genuinely innovative. Apple, Pixar, NeXT (which was then used by Tim Berners-Lee to create the first web-server and also to write the first web browser and the WWW).

 

I think it's pretty much a show of respect that we've lost such a rare figure in this world. I'm sure he had his faults - who doesn't - but I'll certainly remember him as more than just somebody who tried to control everything other people did. It seems those who believe that have some strange anti-apple stance. To me, that's as strange as fanboyism.

Some of you could be a bit more PC with your comments.

I'll be eternally grateful to you, for giving me the app that allows me to find cash points in my vicinity.

A proper genius and visionary. RIP.

[Gym Beglin]

It's extraordinary what level of impact he's had on this world in his short life.

Here's that speech you'll hear bits of all day.

RIP
