Steve Jobs is iDead

[Arkhan]

I've been trolling facebook pretty hard tonight as a result.

It always gets me when it takes someones death for people to give a shit.

and even then its the same prepackaged doom and gloom sadness bullshit and/or clueless goons trying to sound like revolutionaries with their STEVE JOBS CHANGED THE WORLD WITH HIS INVENTIONS crap.  and their OMG HE MADE THE IPOD WITH HIS BAREHANDS AND NOW HES GONE THANK YOU STEVE FOR ALL THE MUSIC. crap.


I thought Steve Jobs was an annoying douche.  He was going to die eventually, obviously.  It sucks he died the way he died.  It doesn't make me think hes any less of a dickbag though.

WHATS EVERYONE ELSES THOUGHTS?

[nodtveidt]

I give him credit where it's due for his work, but the man himself was a major dickhead and everyone hated him except the top executives at Apple. But we all knew the crocodile tears were coming.

This is the first thread title about this that has given me a chuckle.  Steve should be commended for his strong vision in the past, though I don't agree what he has been doing with Apple recently.

[SignOfZeta]

I hate these threads. Every single famous person who dies gets their own thread on every forum I go to. Its almost as hollow as a Facebook "happy birthday" barrage once a year.

[Joe Redifer]

It's better than Happy Birthday threads, that's for sure.

Since we're on a video game forum, how many people know the story of when Steve Jobs worked at Atari and how he made people think he had actual engineering skills.

Yep, it's a great story and tells you a lot about Steve's character. I'm very bothered by the fact that there is a small sect of people out there to whom Apple is a religion and Steve Jobs was their messiah.

iPhone4s  was so disappointing that it turk our jerbs!

I was never a fan of Steve Jobs. His personality annoys me, and he didn't do any of the real work.

Jobs was a cunt who profited off the hard labor and creativity of others. Glad hes dead. I did expect him to die before Winohouse, but meh, whatever, either way, his death is a success story as far as I'm concerned. Got to add, near the end it really was like watching Skeletor go up on stage to present and talk about his latest weapon.

[Arkhan]

Aside from that he also treated everything he did as some kind of earth shattering new device.  Really, most of it was just a bunch of rehashed crap over and over again in shiny white casings.

No more keynotes with him standing up there with that smug grin, preaching about his revolution.

Thank God.

Now PC reigns supreme because Bill Gates is IMMORTAL.

Of course Gates is immortal... he's only the Anti-Christ after all. That's what some people claim anyway.

Thats' the way she goes my friend, its us guys in the trenches making these guys look good, but they can have the stresses and the dealings of the f@cking corporate ladder as it will end your life early. He is no different than anyone else in that position, but dieing of cancer is no way to go.

[TheClash603]

Meh.  Seems like Jobs is the kind of guy I would've hated if I met him in person.  His early video game stories and his apparent lack of true technical skills also make me think he's given more credit than he should receive too.

Though I will agree with those who said it before me, cancer sucks.

I don't know who does Apple's advertising, but that's the true king of that company.
