RIP Steve Jobs

[pickled_heretic]

let me put it another way... you can admire the man for being an odysseus... not for being an archimedes.

He was a genius and a moron at the same time. His business model was great, knew who to target, etc. and his products were solid and reliable, but like said above, shiny overpriced propriety-based(until recently) bullshit. I think he held himself back by not conforming until it was too late with popular industry standards.

I grew up using apples and macs and I didn't even know wtf the difference between a PC and the others were yet. I wish I had grown up a few years earlier so I could have been there for all of it at a better age. My first computer was an IBM x86 which I think had 16mb of ram tops? I played Zork, Doom, various AD&D games, and other ancients on floppy and those are some of my fondest memories of growing up for me. Learning how to use DOS was what led me to go into programming, too. I would shit a brick if I saw what would come of computing back then.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs, you were very important in the tech world and we owe a lot to you.

Looks like PC wins again.

I don't understand why this guy was such a good person. Sure he invented many products that started with the letter "i", but those ideas were already thought of by other companies. To be honest, the only reason why Macs are popular is for their looks, there's not a whole lot special with them. Also, Mr. jobs made billions through his personal gain and never donated any to charity. Jew maybe? yes.

I despise and loathe Apple for a lot reasons, but that doesn't mean, Steve Jobs was not one of the most brilliant minds, marketers, businessman of the 20th century. I give credit where credit is due, he created a cult brand, and his company created one great product (the iPod) his computers were always behind in the hardware department and OSX is nothing but a hacked version of Unix so the "Mac" really wasn't anything new, but his marketing and execution was always brilliant.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs.
