posted from my dual booted mac that I map and play games and work on ... what a legend. He brought Apple back from the dust and expanded their technology and markets... as well as made companies start to realize that macs will soon be just as viable for gaming as PCs.

No one will doubt his genius, but it doesn't mean that he's not an asshole.
From what I heard, he's not a friendly guy.
I know it's not politically correct to say negative things about a dead person, but it's the truth, and I am not all that politically correct.
Now that Jobs is gone, Apple will be reduced to dust again.
That's why I told my co-workers not to buy Apple stocks.
This is not surprising to me. I worked at the UCLA liver transplant center for three years. Once a person needed a liver transplant, his days are numbered.

Maybe if Apple is reduced to dust, Microsoft will stop trying to be like them, and might once again create an operating system for people who know how to use computers. One can hope, can't he.

I don't think Apple's trajectory will influence Microsoft's development. What happened in the past is not going to happen in the future. Both Apple and Microsoft are very different companies today compared to the 1980's.
In fact, any company following Apple's footstep now is only going straight to the grave.

Really thomars? Do you kill people whenever they say the word "apple" within a 1 mile radius? Did you try to kill wheatley when he said "apple" in the first part of the game?

Well, this demonstrates what kind of person Steve Jobs was: "She briefly raised their daughter on welfare when Jobs denied paternity by claiming he was sterile; he later acknowledged Lisa as his daughter."
He did not love his own child.

The only thing Steve Jobs ever did of value was to help prop up Pixar.

Wow why do people fucking hardcore one "brand" of computer. Yes, BRAND, they are both computers, both with Intel Chips and cheap nasty boards from china. I own one of each and they both pretty much do the same shit so I dont know what the big deal is about.
Also thomars is a GIANT douche. My personal douchbaggery pails in insignificance to him.

Thomars, do you really have to put a reply after literally every second post in this thread? You're really not saying anything necessary or that you haven't already said before.
iWork, I don't know, it seems like a different brand of douchebaggery to what you exhibit. You make very deliberate trolling attempts or at least post knowing and expecting people will react negatively, whereas thomars.dm seems to just be ignorant of general forum etiquette.

I am not denying that Steve Jobs was a genius in product design, but he completely failed in his personal life.
Never met his father, even though his biological father did want to meet him.
Got his high school girlfriend pregnant, then deny paternity.
Lost contact with his adopted parents too later in life.

Someone's personal life is nobody's business. Unless they're criminals, in which case it would be. Nobody's a saint. I feel that this topic is getting a little out of hand.

Disregarding the fact that Apple products are overpriced and break constantly, Steve Jobs himself had very little personal input into any of these products. The only thing that Apple products even did differently from anyone else was have a minimalistic aesthetic and layout so even a mentally handicapped person could use them.
