Title: The Leader Who Created Apple...
Post by: yunhua98 on October 05, 2011, 09:35:41 pm
I think we should all express our respect for Steve Jobs.  If you want to express your sorrow, email [email protected]

More Info here: http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/

I'll simply take my 2 Facebook statuses about him and place them here: (combined)

Steve Jobs revealed his newest innovation: iDied. :P On a more serious note... even though I still hate you, Apple, I can't help but admire the spirit of your CEO, Steve Jobs, whose I would unhesistantly agree is unmatched by any other leader, and is still a peak to strive for. I hate your products, but I love your fervor for your company. RIP Steve Jobs, 1955-2011. :'(

Woah I'M really shocked right now. I'M kinda sad at the same time. Even though I was never a huge fan of apple (although I kinda like my iPod) due to high prices, I liked his dedication for the company he worked for.

I really can't wrap my mind around it.  He seemed kinda like an eternal leader.  I always thought he would beat his cancer.  :(

He was definitely up there on the list of people I admired most by far. Steve Jobs will be missed.

EDIT: Should be "The Leader who Created Apple, who Then Saved It from a Complete Disaster."

I just can't feel any emotion for a corporate leader who, despite having excellent design philosophy, gouged out consumers in some of the most ruthless and brilliant marketing moves.

I'm not sure why, it wasn't that he ever did anything wrong but he never seemed to care about what his fanbase thought. He just seems kind of evil when I inevitably compare him to say, Bill Gates, who is now a full-time charity worker. In contrast, after Jobs got back into his company, he canceled all of Apple's philantrophic programs, and besides his work and his company, he never contributed to anything he couldn't get a payoff from. This guy's stinginess is freakin' legendary.

Yeah, it sucks he's gone and all, but I'm not convinced most of us will really miss him.

It is a fact that without him Apple would have been bankrupt. He was a very special person, almost talented I think. The idea of Mac os X came from him! He was even fired once but they took him back. Bill Gates on the other side is with microsoft. It is a fact that windows is/was(I don't use it anymore) much less virus free than mac.

Maybe Bill Gates has given more away, but then again he is more rich than Steve Jobs (I think).
Apple has also embraced open source long before Microsoft, and accepted Linux (for example).

If I would start a company, and billions of people would tell me what to do, I would ignore them. Its still my company, and the decisions are made by me.

Edit: sorry for the half post before, I have a keyboard controller that got crazy D:

I wish he would have lived only a bit longer!  :(

I think it was parodied off of this--
Quote from: Barack Obama
The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.

And yeah, the onion is a tabloid :P

Nobody could ever replace him.

Well, even though I wasn't very keen to use his products, and not very keen to believe that he actually invented them or even Apple did, I feel bad.

I feel bad (and not iFeelBad) because if it wasn't for him, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be using an Android cellphone right now. What made Android so good is that it always has to compete with iOS, which he helped to create.

Even though a lot of us don't use his products, our favorite technology products might have been affected by the existence of Apple's products.

Good apple is a great company it should be fine
Jobs had a lot to do with Apple's success. I once read that things were going so terribly before he came back as CEO that people were joking about Dunkin' Donuts buying Apple Computer :P

Okay. I am going to weigh in on this.
Yeah Jobs was smart.  Smart with business especially.  I don't know anyone else who could sell obsolete and extremely overpriced hardware to so many people.  It amazes me.
Spoiler For Possibly Offensive Joke:
But it seems like the economy was so bad even God was cutting Jobs.

Um...  In what way high tech?  Tablets in 2010 a revolutionary thing?  No Microsoft announced tablets in 2001 and everyone ignored them?  "Retina" display?  Resolutions like that have been available for portable devices for a few years now.  Nothing really high-tech.

Yeah, I think Steve Jobs left an impact as big as Michael Jackson behind him. Did Wikipedia and some websites unintentionally DDoS'd like when Michael Jackson died by the way?

Distributed Denial of Service attack. It's generally a malicious attack in which a hacker gets a large number of computers to repeatedly make requests to a server, overwhelming that webserver and effectively taking down any websites hosted on it. Juju means that there were so many visitors to Wikipedia when Michael Jackson died that the server Wikipedia is hosted on couldn't stand it all and went down temporarily.

I remember when the internet was still new and websites would go down with what would now be considered medium traffic.
People that leave huge marks in the world can cause huge web traffic.

Why is he getting another chance?

Because he has a good lawyer.

It's sad that people like this have to go so soon, but you view their work differently after their death.  If MJ hadn't passed yet, people would still think of him as a child predator.  If Steve Jobs had not died yet, windows fanboys would still use his name as a curse.  
It seems that death can change people's perspective on a subject.  Even Jobs recognized that in his Stanford speech.

He just seems kind of evil when I inevitably compare him to say, Bill Gates, who is now a full-time charity worker.

Maybe Bill Gates has given more away, but then again he is more rich than Steve Jobs (I think).
Apple has also embraced open source long before Microsoft, and accepted Linux (for example).

If I would start a company, and billions of people would tell me what to do, I would ignore them. Its still my company, and the decisions are made by me.

Edit: sorry for the half post before, I have a keyboard controller that got crazy D:

also in the link you posted:

you'll note that was long before he came back and ended all the charity programs. It doesn't matter that Microsoft is bigger, Apple Inc charges an outrageous price for their products, and don't tell me there was no cash to spare.

@Ralph I think it's mostly about the fact that once they die, people subconsciously realize that the person was actually human.

Not to mention being dead is about as handicapped as you can get, and people don't curse handicapped people for their problems nearly as much as they curse wealthy celebrities.
