You never hold stock in a one man empire. Especially when his health issues start becoming public knowledge.[/quote]
Wow, the guy isn’t even room temperature yet and you guys are spitting on him.
Stay classy.[/quote]
You’ll find most people on this site will take every opportunity to cut someone down if they’ve accomplished something. Go look though any thread about someone who has recently died and you’ll see what I mean.
Absolutely disgusting.
Guy with a physique better than 90% of posters here dies?
LOL he deserved it! He was skinny! What a shit physique!
Guy who starts an empire that successfully strips hipsters of their money?
LOL who cares! I hate Apple anyway lol!11
As a nerd whose first CPU was an Apple IIE, I will always wonder what else he could have accomplished.
As a health professional I hope we will some day see such a level of entrepreneurship in our industry. Obviously I have hope for Biotest, but I hope others will step up within this industry as well.
R.I.P. Steve Jobs. Blessings and peace to his loved ones
From his 2005 commencement speech:
"Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. … Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
Who the fuck cares? All he made were products that eased the speed at which we bury our heads in the sand and ignore Real Life. I’m so sick of looking at teenagers walk into my classroom with their heads buried in an iWhatever who have never heard of Libya, couldn’t find Iraq or Afghanistan on a map and have no fucking clue who the 2nd President of this country was. Fuck Steve Jobs. Thanks for your contributions to the dumbing down and rampant materialism going on in this country you fucking asshole. Burn in hell.
Jobs, Woz, Billy, Allen and Ballmer. The original pillars of every piece of personal tech we all can no longer live without. He was instrumental in shaping the world we now live in. I’m saddened at his passing. It feels weird. Like I knew the guy.

Easy there Nards, the kids just need to load news apps, I think due to Jobs they would be embracing technology a decade before previous generations.
I’d like to cultivate a pursuit of knowledge and keeping a wide interest in subjects from arts to the sciences with my daughter. I’m with you on this one.
As an aside, do both DB and Nards line of work involve educating our youth?

I’m dead serious. Look, I get it. He was an innovator and perhaps it’s in poor taste for me to slam his vapid accomplishments so soon after his death. But my point still stands. I’m sure Jobs used his wealth to help a lot of people and all that, but what has anything he has created really done for any of us? Has the iPod helped anyone here become a better person? Has the iPad directly done one single thing to erase poverty in this country, or any other country? When was the last time your iPhone helped put food in the stomach of a hungry single mother? And before people start spouting off about his philanthropy I remind you of the parable about the rich guy making a show of his donations to the church in the front row and the poor woman in the back who gives one coin a week, the only coin she has.
And before anyone accuses me of unjustifiably getting on my high horse, I really DO help with this sort of thing, okay? So I my stance isn’t one of hypocrisy. I volunteer at soup kitchens, I donate my time on the weekends and once a week in the evenings taking care of a 90 year-old woman because no one else will, I volunteer time as a mentor to young teenaged foster children, I’ve practically taken a vow of poverty to work as a teacher in a public school. And it isn’t because I want summers off. And I know a lot of people who do more than I do with less resources and time. And it’s people like THOSE people and not Steve Jobs who are the innovators and the geniuses and the people who have shaped this country. THOSE people are actually doing something to improve the lives of others, not Steve Jobs. I know I’m not the only one on here who thinks there is a serious problem with this country and personally, I think Steve Jobs is at least indirectly responsible. His products are all designed to placate ME, to make MY life easier. Nothing he used his innovation and genius for was designed to encourage me to help others, only to reinforce my selfish need for creature comfort. I think one could make the argument that no one in the last 50-60 years has done more to advance Americans’ total obsession with themselves than Jobs.
So when the Pantheon for Great Americans is built one day, Jobs doesn’t belong in it. All this canonizing of him and his “accomplishments” speaks volumes about the type of people we value in this country.

The biggest e-peen on the internet… [/quote]
Except for people who actually use the term “e-peen”. Nice cankles buddy.
Apple produces consumer electronics.
What’s the biggest global imbalance in the history of the world?
American over-consumption/underproduction.
In other words, Apple is a great example of a massive miss-allocation of resources towards American consumption at the expense of the world’s productivity. Jobs just rode that ship to notoriety. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be more known or recognized than any other large CEO.
