Steve Jobs passes away at 56 years old.

[fun-guy]

just move back in with your mom

lmao, what the hell are you talking about boy?

 

[fun-guy]

Possibly of course, but Fun-Guy made it seem like they worked on Siri for "decades" themselves.
This kind of stuff was inevitable no doubt.

I don't make this shit up, it's all over the media, you think he told me he was working on this for decades? lol Actually I read it again in the Star, don't know which day as the Star had numerous articles on Jobs since his death.

Jobs is dead - not better than anybody. It's over. Deal with that.

I don't know about that? Sure, he died relatively young at 56.

But,
He amassed a +$7B fortune (and the perks that go along worth that fortune).
A wife and family (that will continue to prosper).
Participated and made a difference in charities.
Headed a company worth more than Exxon.
Achieved cult status.
A world-wide legacy and impact (in tech, social, political, etc.).
I could go on ...

Jobs has packed a lot of accomplishments in his short life (not many can say the same)
He's earned my respect.

No, just curious where you got it from, didn't imply that you came up with it.

Again, Siri (speaking assistant) was purchased in 2010, so not quite sure how you got from The Star that he's been working on it for years.
I'm pretty confident they wouldn't publish something like that either, being a pretty reputable paper.
Maybe you were just caught up in the hype of the thread?

 

[Steve~]

Participated and made a difference in charities.

Again.. You shoot your mouth without backing it. Link to Proof or drop that point.

He's earned my respect.

Translation: You respect him for nothing more than being rich.. You personally put him above other people 'and yourself' simply for being rich.

You're sad.

You need to read this before you respond fanboy. :wink:

And, no, I don't respect Jobs, for being rich. I respect how he achieved his visions.
Unlike most 'suits', Jobs was a bit of a hippie, was into Dylan, did psychedelic drugs -- he wasn't your stereotypical CEO.
Proof? Go pick up the recent Rolling Stones mag with Jobs on the cover.

Note, Apple is aware of manufacturer conditions, and continue to monitor these situations. And, contrary to what you think, it doesn't take 24 hrs to solve these problems. BTW, I'd love to trace the origin of your 'PC Sony BBM Lenova computer' that you are typing on Steve~ So who's sad.

You need to read this

Is the OWS movement aware of this?

Most 'special interest protest' groups never protested Jobs after his death -- quite the opposite.

Your link is a fail because the article clearly shows that's his wife's doing and hers only. He had nothing to do with it. But of course you'd say he did since he was married to her right? :wink:

Bet you couldn't run out fast enough to buy that issue right? nice try but how you worded yourself in your previous post clearly shows you side with him so much over his riches and nothing else. Especially with statements like "I respect him cause he's has so much.. Has done this and that.. etc..

Just admit to the fact that he screwed the real inventor (WOZ) over big time.

By the way fanboy I use an iMac, yet I own no other Apple product. Your last statement shows the 'fanboyness' of yourself clearly.

Hey, it's Job's +$7 billion bank account.

Just admit to the fact that he screwed the real inventor (WOZ) over big time.

Uhhh ... ya? Check your facts. Who started the US Festival? Who was first in line for the iPhone 4S?

Especially with statements like "I respect him cause he's has so much.. Has done this and that.. etc..

Uhhhh ... no again. It's not his accumulation of wealth -- but his path towards accomplishments.

By the way fanboy I use an iMac, yet I own no other Apple product.

Closeted fanboy. Typical case of self-denial.

 

[5hummer]

BTW, Steve~, can you stop DM me with your 'fanboy' arguments? It's creeping me out ...

 

[Steve~]

Yawn..

Uhhh ... ya? Check your facts. Who started the US Festival? Who was first in line for the iPhone 4S?

That does not negate the fact that Jobs ripped off Woz when 'he' did that Breakout game for Atari. Go look it up fanboy. You should go watch Pirates Of Silicon Valley to see more examples of Woz being the better human being than Jobs during the early days.

Uhhhh ... no again. It's not his accumulation of wealth -- but his path towards accomplishments.

*Cough..Bullshit.. Cough. Let's talk about that 'path'.. Overpriced products.. check.. Unneeded products.. check. Stealing ideas from others.. check = a good salesman and nothing more.

Closeted fanboy. Typical case of self-denial.

False.. I don't give a shit about iphones and what not. Anyone that buys a phone for other than phoning people are idiots.. Of course Jobs 'brainwashed' folks like you all the way to the bank..

 

[Powershot]

Hah anyone who buys a phone that can do more than phone is an idiot?
Something tells me you have no friends you're beyond help.

Yawn..

OK, Steve Jobs, oops I mean Steve~ .... Now I know how an SP feels being stalked, Steve~ has been multiple DM'ing me ... weird.

Steve~ I have no problem debating in public

 

[5hummer]

Yawn..

Guess that means I'm right.

Woz didn't seem pissed off? Do you rep Woz?
Pirates Of Silicon Valley? Uh, you're using a movie as an argument? See (Noah Wyle at Macworld w/ Steve Jobs): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIClAanU7Os

*Cough..Bullshit.. Cough. Let's talk about that 'path'.. Overpriced products.. check.. Unneeded products.. check. Stealing ideas from others.. check = a good salesman and nothing more.

Again. You obviously don't do your research. Sales number negate your argument as well as client satisfaction indexes. You're just spinning your wheels.

Anyone that buys a phone for other than phoning people are idiots.. Of course Jobs 'brainwashed' folks like you all the way to the bank..

So I guess you still have an old school car cell phone? RAZR? Clamshell?
Some people have careers ... you know what a career is, right?

Ya, this guy (Steve~) has been send me multiple DMs. Weird
Now I know how a SP feels when she's being stalked! LOL

How old are you?.. Under 25 right? Probably one of those kids that checks his/her profile on Facebook or Twitter all day right.

That figures cause you obviously don't remember a time when people DIDN'T have to be texting or yapping on the phone all hrs of the day and they got along fine. I'd bet you're one of those idiots that takes a photo (With that phone) of what you're about to eat and puts it online in some sorry attempt for attention right?

No I don't use facebook or twitter, and I'm closer to 40 than 25. If you think anyone who has a smartphone is an idiot, your circle of friends is tiny or you are a grumpy old man.
