****ING BOCO

I was going to post this.

Wow.

He's been and continues to be one of my biggest inspirations. RIP.

I care enough to post this:

Don't care.

Sucks. wonder if apple is going to go in the toilet... Again.

Apparently their stock is up is what I've been told

But now they have a good start on cloud computing.

As much as I hate Apple and its practices (and Steve for supporting them), there's still other things that he has had tremendous impact on that I enjoy. Perhaps my best example would be PIXAR since I love most of their movies.

Why the hell was Bach in his hallucination?

HAHA I was gunna talk about Knights of Silicone Valley! **** yeah! Love the movie, and the movie made me appreciate Jobs. RIP. I honestly believe he was one of the most brilliant minds of our time as well as an all around cool guy.

PS- The fact that he sees Bach is supposed to represent how Steve was more of an artist than a geek. They really play it up in that movie because they are attempting to show off the contrast of Steve and Bill. While im sure some of you may scoff, i think that classical music is very indicative of the Jobs persona.

Again, RIP Steve. You will be missed.

(I literally just now [as in 5 seconds ago] found out about this bummer news. What a bombshell to drop on me at 11pm.)

a'ight.

Jon`C, it's a movie about... knights... uh... and fake breasts?

The movie is actually called Pirates of Silicon Valley. Sorry to kill your buzz, Anthony. Though maybe there is a porno called Pirates of Silicone Valley? That would beat any high seas adventure in my book.

Yeah I know what the movie is called, dude. I was making fun of Darth_Xasthur's mistake.

RIP Steve Jobs. Macintosh Plus (1985) was the first computer I used (ever since I was 4 years old) and I used it until early 1998. I instantly associate Apple and Macintosh with the Macintosh Plus computer even to this day. I had become quite adept at using HyperCard, even programmed a rudimentary synthesizer and some kind of a casino game (the former from my own initiative, the latter I studied and copied from my father's programming) with it. Funny how those skills didn't help really help me at anything after switching to PC gaming, except perhaps for HTML in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Thus Steve Jobs, his company and his creations formed a vastly important part of my childhood and even further, gave a headstart to one of the most prominent parts of my life (i.e. all the computer stuff). Maybe history could have gone differently but it didn't so I'd like to thank Steve for all that.



(Made that in like early 2010, how fitting for now!)

Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Barack Obama, Michael Dell and others express their condolences: http://thisismynext.com/2011/10/05/bill-gates-reacts-steve-jobs-death/

The first computer that I ever used was an Apple ][. We had a computer lab full of them in elementary school where we'd all play "Oregon Trail", "Number Munchers" & "Word Munchers". The second computer that I ever used was a Macintosh 128K, which I used to write articles for the school newspaper. I can still remember typing my award-winning article on the lice epidemic with quotes from the school's principal. After elementary school, there were never Apple computers in our labs again (everything was IBM). When I was a teenager my father brought home 3 Macintosh Performa 550's that they had tossed in the trash at his work. He was able to combine the parts to create a functional unit (he may have ordered one or two parts as well). I spent every night on that thing for quite some time. I went on to build several PC's & to use several different OS's over the years but I never forgot the joy that I had experienced on Apple computers in my youth. In 2009, for the first time in my life, I purchased an Apple computer (iMac 24") & have been using it since.

I don't know much about Steve Jobs. I tend to separate the art from the artist. However, if he's in any way responsible for the joy that computers have brought me in my life, I must say that he has my gratitude.

This is the ghost of Steve Jobs! I heard you posting about me and had to come because I am concerned. I am concerned for one of your very own! I am also concerned that I am a very unfunny and immature person that registered a novelty account only to insult people!

have you tried turning him off and on again?

You all should really read this speech: http://news.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html

shame he died early

can't deny the impact apple has made on the consumer electronics industry while he has been at the helm, mostly all for the better I'd say too.

also in the news linky the Westboro idiot church are going to picket his funeral...morons. (Mentat beat me too it...)

I think WBC have established their hypocrisy a long time ago and now they're just continuing to showcase how the U.S. judicial system can be used as a terrific money-making device by a group of savvy lawyers who spout a meaningless yet provocative message that attracts a brainless cabal that either doesn't know better or genuinely believes it to be the truth. Reminds me of those copyright trolls, really.

With all due respect...

When he died his life did not FLASH before his eyes.

Also, an apple a day does NOT keep the doctor away.

All the people at Apple lost their Jobs...

I'm not, nor have I ever been, a fan of Apple, but I can't deny that Jobs was an incredibly innovative mind who had a startlingly far-reaching impact on the world today. RIP

My opinion is also as neutral as outlined in every third post except Koobie who is a bad person

Without Steve Jobs, we might never have discovered the rounded rectangle.

Incorrect.

I wonder if he'll be buried in an iCoffin.

what does that even mean

No one knows what it means, but its provocative it gets the people going!


take a close look at Alan's last post.

You know, I honestly think I'm going to miss Jobs. It's still a bit weird for me that he's gone, usually folks like him don't go out on a high note. He had a sense of gravity about him. On one hand, he generated such a dedicated, loyal following of consumers that would buy anything religiously. On the other, he created a crowd of people who just couldn't wait to see him fail.

I don't really care about the whole he-is-an-innovator-no-he's-not debate. But it was a bit of fun watching the waves he created and seeing his face at the center of the splash. Of course he was dick at times, I know that.

yeah that picture wasn't funny the first time i saw it
