Edit2: After an hour, I think I have finally found the words (along with the ability to speak). While I am no apple fan, I can't ignore the huge impact Steve Jobs has made to the world. He and his team made a huge chunk of our current future that we live in now and I think they only way to mourn such an over all successful and talented individual is with rigorous applause louder and louder till it reaches the heavens.

Amen and Godspeed.

(Reuters) - Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer and other health issues.

Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday.

The Silicon Valley icon who gave the world the iPod and the iPhone resigned as CEO of the world's largest technology corporation in August, handing the reins to current chief executive Tim Cook.

Jobs, who fought a rare form of pancreatic cancer, was deemed the heart and soul of a company that rivals Exxon Mobil as the most valuable in America.

Came here to post this.

It's a shame he lost his battle with cancer...RIP :(

[n00b1n8R]

Glad he's not going to be coming back to apple. He was a thief and an asshole. Nothing lost.

[MXC]

While I could never say that I was a fan of Apple, Steve Jobs made incredible strides in moving technology forward, more than I or anyone ever could.


RIP Steve. I may be a PC but cynics be damned, this is a death felt across all consumers of technology.

Glad he's not going to be coming back to apple. He was a thief and an asshole. Nothing lost.Little fact: If it wasn't for Steve Jobs, Pixar might not be where it is now.

Maybe now you'll rethink your opinion (unless you're a fucking idiot and somehow hate Pixar too).

[INSANEdrive]

Please do not feed the trolls. Thank you.

Edit: Since I don't want to be part of the..."discussion" (Heh.)... that is occurring on the far end of this thread at the moment of my edit I feel it best to post in an edit here. I have seen what many have said about Steve Jobs. Both good...and bad (even blasphemous at times). And so my observant and rhetorical question is this:

What good is venom on a dead man?

[Spartan094]

I might dislike Apple but this saddens me.

[StankBacon]

pixar sucks, apple sucks, meh.

Kids are too young to know how awesome Steve was.

Little fact: If it wasn't for Steve Jobs, Pixar might not be where it is now.

Maybe now you'll rethink your opinion (unless you're a fucking idiot and somehow hate Pixar too).

Just because he did something good for once, doesn't make his wrongs right. Therefore what n00b said, still stands. Also, Pixar could have still went places without Steve, as it was originally owned by Lucas Arts and therefore it still had potential to become something very big (like it did).

[CabooseJr]

It's a tragic day, but once he stepped down I knew it was only a matter of time.

[DEElekgolo]

He was a good marketer. He was not an innovator.
He made logs of shit sound like piles of diamond. I value him for this and nothing more.

What a loss.

[t3h m00kz]

He never donated to charity.

[annihilation]

RIP Steve Jobs. I remember the first time I ever saw a computer, the iMac G3. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

An interesting man who lead an interesting life. I am not an Apple fan, but there is no denying how much influence their technology has had on the western world.

Seriously, all the Apple haters need to just shut up and not post. If you are going to post, at least TRY to show some sympathy for a man who has greatly affected all our lives (no matter how much you don't care to admit it).

[Hotrod]

Agreed with Limited...a great man has passed away, and all you have to say is that he's an asshole and that you're glad he's gone? I'll be somewhat childish here and say that if you have nothing good to say then just don't say anything at all.

RIP Steve Jobs. I grew up with a mac, and though I am now a pc person, I fully respect the gains in technology that man helped push forward. Regardless of any criticisms about his character, it cannot be denied he was a hugely influential man. He will be missed.

[Bodzilla]

sorry guys i dont want to burst your bubble, but if your praising Jobs for anything other then him being brilliant at marketing, or the fact he started a company, lost control of it then came back.... well then your deluded.

the man didnt innovate shit other then the VERY first things he did.
after that apple has been all about stealing other peoples ideas, patenting them, and sueing anyone that disagreed with them.
and then marketing their stolen ideas extremely well to non tech oriented people who didnt understand the whole scope of what was going on.

Thats how apple made their money.
it wasnt with brand new innovative ideas.
it was with this

I am not an Apple guy now days, but this statement is so true. I am not an Apple hater either, just too broke to buy one. Their industrial design is something to be admired.

[Limited]

Right I'm tired of the shit in this thread. Why was Jobs great?

He made things you didnt even know you wanted. Why is that important? If you ask a customer what they want and make it, by the time you've R&D'd it, put it into production, all of which takes a long time. You hand it back to the customer and they are now bored with it. iPod is a great example of this. There was some MP3s around but they didnt have great functionality, jobs took that idea and improve on it immensely, putting it in a tidy and pleasing form factor.

The amount of care and detail put into all of the products. Jobs had to love each of the products before they were sold. He famously rang an employee personally on a weekend to speak of his irritation that a single O on the product was the wrong shade of yellow. This amount of attention to detail is clearly shown in all products.

You all say hes greedy, have you not heard his quote of: "Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me...Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful...thats what matters to me". Obviously he wants to make money, but hes not as greedy as you guys make out.

I'm not an Apple fan boy, I'm not a fan of Jobs really, but I admire his work and I can see hes make an important impact on technology.

Besides of being the old Apple boss, the giant business. Hes a human being after all.

[Warsaw]

He rang Google's CEO about that, if I recall correctly, not an Apple employee. It was a Google app that had what he considered to be the wrong shade of yellow, and it was: it was not the same yellow that you see on the Google homepage. That said, it still proves the point about his attention to detail.

Also, considering that the vast majority if people don't give to charity, I see no reason to harp on him and Apple for not giving to charity. Companies give to charities for the PR because they need a boost. Apple needs no such boost.

It's a good thing Gates has only ever donated money from his own pocket to charities.

[Bobblehob]

In the wise words of Maddox:
"Everyone hyperventilating, repeat after me: I am not defined by the products I buy. My computer is not a part of my identity. My computer is a tool. And like all tools, it's only useful if I make it useful. A brand is not a lifestyle. I don't owe gratitude to a billionaire I helped create. Steve Jobs was a business man who charged exhorbitantlly for his products. He didn't do us any favors. He didn't make us. We made him."

[Warsaw]

It's a good thing Gates has only ever donated money from his own pocket to charities.

Yup. Microsoft "donates to charity," but they do it as a PR stunt and to get people using their software early on. Gates, however, has his own thing and what he does with it is awesome.

[Warsaw]

Wealthy is wealthy, dude. He could live off of interest, so having a $1 salary is moot. What did he do with his wealth?

I'm not here to bash Jobs or make light of his death, but if you want to pick a single rich guy to celebrate, there are definitely worthier options.

Uh, why? I can't help but think that some people like to use the "lock your own thread" feature merely because they get enjoyment out of exercising a power that is generally reserved for mods (or perhaps they just don't like dissenting views being posted). If there was any real reason for this thread to be locked, a moderator would do it.

I actually made a thread on this as well, but yours beat mine by precisely one minute, so mine was merged into yours. If that didn't happen, this thread would be open forever unless a mod locked it at some point, because I don't lock threads.

In that case we can just start another thread. Someone can lock their thread just as easily as someone can hit the "New Thread" button. There's no real point in locking it on an arbitrary date for an arbitrary reason other than what king pointed out.

Heres another problem, why do people think Apple is a one man band? Steve Job's isnt Apple, and Apple isnt Steve jobs. Have a think about all the workers, at all 3 companies from the past 35 years. They made an absolute fortune. How many of the workers gave to charity? I'm guessing quite a lot, all stemming from a few guys in a garage 35 years ago.

So has Jobs given directly to charity? Not that we know of, but has he indirectly given to charity? Definitely.

Giving to charity is a personal thing, people shouldnt judge other people by how much they give.

I'm touched that your hearts ache so for the passing of Steve Jobs (which I'm pretty sure is the reason this thread was created). That said a week is long enough to post...heh...condolences and thoughts of the recently departed. If you wish to say something more that is so pressing, like business practices...you are more then welcome to do so in a very-easy-to-make new thread. Then you can bitch about the world to your hearts content.

I rarely have the thought to lock things (regardless weather I can or not)...but since this thread as devolved to something else I think it best to cut the head off.:hist101:

Therefor the entirety of your argument "Limited"...is wrong.

Had the lot of you addressed your concerns in a more civilized way I might have changed my original intent and kept it open, but you chose...quite foolishly to flame. Even after I warned you. I realize I don't post here much...I mean...I "wonder" why. Had this been Halomods you would had known your flames only burn you, not I...but this laughable realization is too late now. I have applied for the tongue ripper, and am now looking for a jar. A Big one mind you. Either it will be my tongue or the lot of you. I await patiently.

And then when this is all done and done...it won't really matter anyway. At least I got a hearty laugh out it. That is my last word on the matter.
If anything happens you will know it. If it doesn't...so be it...still gets locked. Goodday.

Reply: Do this: <blah blah>
Cool, thanks, it's fixed now. <thread locked>

It's for instances when the thread obviously no longer serves a purpose. There was still conversation taking place in this thread. The feature isn't there for you to play moderator, or to act childishly with when you get butthurt over the viewpoints being expressed within.

So has Jobs given directly to charity? Not that we know of, but has he indirectly given to charity? Definitely.

Giving to charity is a personal thing, people shouldnt judge other people by how much they give.

Actually, Apple wouldn't exist without Jobs for two reasons:

1. He was one of the founders of the company

2. He pulled the company back from the brink of destruction in the 90s.

All that Apple is, right now, is the result of his designs. Yes, now the company can go it without him, but I very much doubt one would have been able to safely make that claim a decade ago. So yeah, Apple almost is a one-man-company, to the point where his likeness is almost a trademark. Those other people in the company wouldn't be in the positions they are today without his input. As for the manufacturing partners, they also have customers from other companies, so things would likely be much the same today.

And yes, I agree you shouldn't judge a person solely by how much they give. I'm also judging him based on his brutish business practises (see: patent war, because he started it in more ways than one) and pompous attitude (i.e. who is he to tell me what I can and cannot view on devices made by his company?).

I mourn his death because he was great at pushing the industry to look at new things, and we've lost something without him. There will be others in time, but until then, we've lost a great mind. I, however, am not breaking down into tears. I think it would be unjust not to recognize his contributions to the world through his business, but at the same time it's also not fair to go bawling over his death as if we've just lost FDR, Pope John Paul II, or Queen Elizabeth I.

[Limited]

Unbelievable, he derailed his own thread, by threatening to lock the thread if it got derailed.

Insanedrive, you do not hold the key to threads, you will not dictate to us when and where we can reply to a thread. The thread tools have not been entrusted in you personally, everyone who makes a thread have them with the understanding not to abuse them - you, my incoherent enemy, are abusing them.

Warsaw I agree, Jobs took Apple from a small business to a world-wide dominating company. He was the figure head, the face of Apple. But people need to remember there are other people working the cogs, to allow Jobs to be the man he was and to build the company he did.

I find it a testament, that I found out about his death, on the device he pioneered.

@Limited: It's a chicken and the egg scenario, honestly. Were the workers what made Jobs or was it he who made them? I mean, you could say that one doesn't exist without the other and you'd be right, but you also have to consider that the body doesn't have purpose without the brain.

There is a general guide of posting respectfully, whether or not the person involved in the post is a member or not.
Most civilized people would find abusing the dead distasteful and somewhat rude, I'm reasonably sure that ones dislike of practices is not a just cause for practicing ill manners and bad ethics.
Given recent events, it would be wise to reduce the crass a notch or two seeing as there have been several cases of people mocking public deaths and actually being punished for it.
