Thread: R.I.P Steve Jobs

He was only 56... R.I.P

Jobs was a creative chap, but always seemed to be quite sickly.

I wish him well in the existential netherworld.

Have a look at some of the stuff that guy achieved in his short lifetime, it is pretty incredible what he achieved for our world in technology.

Also, everyone who met him said he was a cracking guy.

RIP

Rest in Peace to the man that co-founded the world renowned Apple devices.

MY sympathies to his family but I am nowhere more touched than by the innocent victims from the Lybia's war or in Afghanistan, those who might not have possessed Jobs vision but who didn't have his money neither the chance to offer everything they wanted for their family let alone die around those they loved.

Well said. Jobs led a rich and well off life, he is just remembered more than those who work in his offices and more so than those who die because of pointless military conquests.

The media wants to salute him, but it is a gesture of choice. I can honestly say that the ideas of Jobs are far less influential upon me than major writers or musicians.

I can happily live without this technology. The man man was a tech nerd and was not a thinker. His ideas have quite possibly helped society become a stupid place. Or at least made it more obvious to great thinkers such as myself that I should keep myself beyond these silly phones. And I shall.

That same old argument comes up everytime somebody get an RIP thread.

At the end of the day Steve Jobs is an inspiration to me and his products made my life better. Yes, every death is tragic and nobody's life (with some exceptions) is any more valuable than anybody elses, but the fact is nobody in Libia, regardless of circumstance, has produced antyhign remotely as cool as the Ipad

But they did in my lifetime and that is a fact too. They are transforming their world.

And more importantly 'Jobs' never tried to make the world around him a better place, he was just a businessman. He just had very good propaganda. He died because he was sickly. He was like any businessman, just pushing his product.

I can honestly say that his ideas don't bother me at all. I don't use any of his products and I think it is all part of modern societal mind rot. Let him die and his family mourn, that is quite enough.

I could never mourn that. 'Ooh he designed my cell phone?' What twaddle.

I disagree. That the guy dies and that the media talks about it, fine, but why don'T they make many articles about those who deserve attention, not those who need absolutely nothing? I hate the glorification around it, the guy had a vision but he was a greedy fatfuck capitalist who's genius produces are among the most toxic you can find around (and this is well documented). I don't care that the peeps, soldiers or civilians who did die around haven't produces useful stuff (yet absolutely not necessarily) like he did, that doesn't make their life any less valuable.

Now big H, show it down your booty and post us some of your lovely porn treasure, you havent post nothing on that side for quite a long time and it disappoints me greatly

He did more than just invent phones!

Without him we would not have had computers in our homes for a very long time.

Without him there would have been no Pixar studios, so no Toy Story or any of the other brilliant films.

He single handidly turned around Apple from a company on the brink of extinction, to THE biggest company in the world through his inventions.

You know a guy is brilliant when his biggest rivals have so much respect for him. Bill Gates, Alan Sugar, both were huge rivals, yet have nothing but affection for him.

Exactly mate, that was one of my other points that I didn't include. The merchandising alone relating to Pixar, including all the shops etc is Billions of dollars industry on its own.

wow tough crowd... maybe the concept of respect thread has been lost on this occasion.

Steve Jobs is an example of just 'one man' making a huge difference in the world, Apple would have folded years ago were it not for his efforts.

RIP Steven Jobs
