EVE is like a Jobs, a Steve Jobs actually it comes up with cool ideas, and brings them to market at unexpectedly high prices. But is the king of presentation.
I never thought of EVE as a box of sand until the butter effect video showed me it was.
I never thought EVE is real until the Gallente whooped those Amarrians.
So yeah EVE is like a Jobs. |

I'm frankly really confused by your entire post...
That said... if EVE is like a job... You're doing it wrong.
If you are relating EVE to an Apple product, you aren't entirely far off base. EVE does bring new ideas to the table, and operates a rather unique product. They don't have the polish that Apple products do, though. |

Common traits.
Small but ferociously loyal customer base. Company develops and leads, customers follow. The functionality follows the form. Uses customers to support other customers. Heavy focus on community development.

If by polished you mean the plastic, sure. I was an early iPHONE adopter and the only problem with the PHONE is it couldn't make PHONE calls.
I like Apple and I like CCP but neither are recognized for smooth delivery. Cost of specialty goods is speciality support. |

Eve isn't a game. It's a job. A career. That doesn't even pay you for the work you put in it. |

I sure play it like a game, but then again I am an imbecile... perhaps I'm doing something wrong. -- Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing to what I shall unfold. |

coming to think of it this way maybe the comparison with CCP/EVE is quite fitting... "can't see the difference between ruling your PI 'colonies' with benevolence or ruthless tyranny? blame yourself for looking at it the wrong way" |

Does this mean we should expect hilmar to wear jeans and a mock turtleneck, while giving a keynote address about the magical new features of CQ? |

Where is the pun? You want un-cool ideas presented in poor quality? Maybe OP fail in pun or you just want it cheap and ugly.

What cool ideas did steve jobs come up with?
Take an mp3 player(which existed for years), slap the apple logo on it and call it an ipod?
Take a smartphone(which existed for years), slap the apple logo on it and call it an iphone?
Take a tablet(which existed for years), slap the apple logo on it and call it an ipad?
This guy is given far to much credit for ripping crap off, slapping an apple logo on it and marketing it well. |

lol
You just gave a list of a few ideas that nobody managed to develop into something people actually wanted to buy until Jobs & co made them into products people all over the world went queuing to pay premium $$ for. What a fail guy.
BTW, Microsoft stole the whole idea of windows from Apple. Surely thats another of Jobs failures right? |

True. It is like most ideas. They come from someone else. Ideas are cheap. I have lots of ideas but only ideas that are made into something that works are worth something. In that category Steve Jobs is a genius. |
