R.I.P Steve Jobs

[Gandalf]

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.

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.
