Duende Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 What a legacy and also what an inspiring man... “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S t e v e Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Speaking of Apple, here is an interesting article that basically proves my point that even after announcing the 4S they are still a year behind now in technology, but idiots will still pay over £100 extra for this pile of crap *tut tut* I wish I have come up with the idea! nokia N8 vs iphone 4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 While the man truly was a genius and an innovator, I can't say that I'm gonna miss him a whole lot. It's too bad the Apple pirate ship didn't go down with its captain. Jesus man... Westboro is going to protest his funeral.

grampa Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Jesus man... Westboro is going to protest his funeral. They sent out the notification this morning on twitter... via iPhone Oh good lord I hope you're kidding. Rarely does the death of a famous person affect me like this one and I don't even have any of his products. I heard someone suggest that because of how he transformed communication that he is more worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize than most who get one. He was truly one of the great persons of our time. The military families that the Westboro scum has spewed their bile at have been polite but I wouldn't expect the Apple folks to be so polite.

dbreslauer Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Apple always has been a very polarizing brand. People either love them or hate them. Most of Apple's peers (Microsoft, Google, etc.) would LOVE to be in the same position. Steve Jobs was a "Rock Star" CEO: you can't ignore him or all that he was able to create, like it or not. RIP Steve, and thanks for everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enmitygauged Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Why is it that Apple used to be the cool system to own cos you were anti Microsoft. As soon as they got huge and integrated their systems with Microsoft people started to tear them down. I have had Iphones since the 3 came out. (Australia never got the phones pre Iphone 3) and I have and will unless something major changes keep using them I have worked for a telco for 10 years in a cell phone division. I have seen more motorolla nokia and Sony Ericson come back than Iphones ever. The most common issue with the iphone was screen cracking due to mishandling. Samsung have the same issue. I have a friend who has had his Samsung a week and has 3 viruses on it. I have got the Ipad 2 (which I admit has been a let down the iphone does the same things) and just bought a mac book pro I wont be going back to windows. to upgrade my current windows system to 7 would cost me around $275 for a OS upgrade on apple $31.00 The system is arguably quicker and more stable I havent had it lock up in the 2 months yet. And its much more intuitive. Rest in Peace Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman5293 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Never said I didn't respect the guy. He was a genius. He invented or helped to invent some of the most used technology in today's computers. When Xerox said that the mouse was a useless invention, Steve Jobs took the idea and expanded on it and now almost every computer in the world has a mouse. He also took the idea for the GUI from Xerox, made it his own, and created the modern computer desktop. After seeing this, Bill Gates saw that the GUI and mouse were going to be the way of the future and made Windows. So a lot of Bill Gates' ideas were literally stolen straight from Steve Jobs. The man was a true innovator and probably one of the smartest men of our time. My original post in this thread only threw hate at Apple. I respect the man but not his company.
