By that you mean steal good ideas from others while being very protective about their own cool "inventions", make it white and use an "i" in the name, create some nonsense lifestyle around which attracts hipsters and sell it for hilarious prices?
Then yeah, I guess you're right.

Regardless of what Apple has done now-a-days, Jobs still should deserve a piece of respect out of us.
RIP. |

It's sad, not so much because he was the CEO of Apple, but because he really was an old-school hacker. Late 70s/early 80s computers are a real fascination of mine and he was a part of that era. He did an awful lot to bring computers mainstream, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he (and Bill Gates, and Woz, and others) have changed the world. |

Also not the biggest fan of Apple's recent products, but there's no doubt that Steve Jobs was a kind of wizard of personal computer technology. RIP, and may it not be to hard on his family. |

RIP Steve Jobs. I hate your apple products with passion, but you still make the world a better place with technologies. The world lost a great mind with so much potential. |

The Steve Jobs Law: Any conversation about either Macs or Windows will, if allowed to go into infinity, result in a Windows vs. Mac flamewar.
Sort of like Godwin's Law.
RIP Steve, even though I'm a Windows fan and won't touch your iPod with a ten-foot pole. I like to lick things.

I know this is just repeating what everyone else is saying but:
I am not a big fan of Apple (in fact I hate their products with a religious fervor), but you can not deny the incredible impact that Steve Jobs had on the technology world. Even after being kicked out of his own company he founded, he returned to it to pick up the broken remnants and reinvented Apple into the ubiquitous company that it is today.
He will forever be remembered in the technology world for many years to come. |

I sympathize with his family. But for Apple and all the fanboys out there, I really couldn't care less.

Helped get Pixar off the ground and 99% of those films I love. Helped drive the market whether you like apple or not he caused further innovation through competition forcing others to change keep up or innovate on their own.
Cancers always a tough way to go out you can only hope in the last few hours he went peacefully. |

As a long-time computer geek, and being one year older than Steve Jobs, this really makes me feel my mortality.
I've never cared for Apple products, or their proprietary approach to hardware and software, but I've always blessed Steve Jobs and Apple for the competition they've provided that has helped drive innovation in the computer industry.
Jobs himself was a remarkable individual and an inspirational leader whose like is not seen in major corporations anymore.

It's very true. Jobs and Gates might be loathed by many but they made the 'computer revolution' that has many people using smartphones, tablets and talking to each other via the internets across the globe possible, very probably more than anyone else has done.
RIP, even though i hate Apple. ;p |

PC Magazine: Former Apple Chief Steve Jobs Dies
Steve Jobs was a pioneer of the PC industry. One of the founders of Apple Inc, and its longtime CEO. His innovations have changed way people live their everyday life. I always picture Jobs, and Wozniak as just to two young guys who thought starting a computer company would be cool. We will truly never see a man like him again.
I first did word processing in college of a Macintosh. My first software engineering job was developing high end 3D applications for Apple computers. Those were my paper clip days.
Farewell Steve.

Although I like many here newer really bought into the whole "i" thing or the culture of those things. Overpriced and overhyped to be honest. But the basic ideas and concepts were sound. I'd be seriously stupid not to recognize the effect that Steve Jobs had on our world. From the personal computer to a phone that greatly surpasses that original in a ridiculously smaller package. This man changed the world, he's a modern day Edison. He's had an effect in so many areas, films, animation, computers, phones, music and many more. And he got fired from his own company and started again and his drive was such that they got him back! And most of his breakthroughs and really influential plans came after he was diagnosed with cancer in 2004! He seemed to be driven by the fact that he had seen and tasted his mortality and believed he had so much left to give.
We lost a brilliant human being yesterday, and I dare say that the world is going to be a lesser place for a while.
Rest in peace Steve, you've earned it. |
