It's one of many many many examples of him being an asshole. So yeah, that is my problem. I ****ing hate thieves... no excuses.

For my lack of ability to post links, I'll just refer to the fact that there is a Chiefs Planet Facebook page.

I am pretty sure Mark Zuckerberg lied, cheated, and stole his way to an equally world changing place in this world. Yet you don't seem to have a real problem drafting off his successes to funnel people to this website (on which you generate ad revenue for each impression, both those originated from Facebook and elsewhere).

Personally I don't have a Facebook account and never have. I don't have a real problem with what you're saying here, or what you are objecting to in general with the Steve Jobs love/hate. But if you're going to get uber righteous against thievery, you probably shouldn't put yourself in a position to profit off of one of today's greatest modern thieves.

I think there's room for giving blind faith/love to both Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg. As someone alluded to earlier in this thread, it takes a certain kind of person who is maybe willing to step outside those acceptable social norms to get to the next level. For what they have each brought to this world and how they've changed it forever, I think you should cut them some slack.

Just to be clear, the CP Facebook page was set up to test some things.. it in NO way is a serious page meant to drive traffic... (heck I haven't checked in over a month)

I have no doubt that Zuck may have been somewhat shady and is a bad person too. BUT I have yet to hear/read anything that is in the same BALLPARK as the crap Jobs pulled. If someone decided to crusade against Zuck and knew what they were talking about, I certainly wouldn't defend Zuck and argue against the person.

of course all this is beside the point because I have no problem using the products of bad people if I don't have an equal or better choice. If the iPhone was the only smartphone around, I'd swallow hard and get one.

I am just pointing out that

You mean, like stealing the entire idea of Facebook?

You have clearly not watched The Social Network.

I did not... mostly because I knew ahead of time that it was HEAVILY fictionalized and adapted from a book that was told from the point of view of ONE PERSON. Much of the story told is disputed by multiple sources. So who knows what the real truth is. I won't defend Zuck.. I frankly have no clue on him.

Jobs is someone I have taken issue with since 1985, so I know his story.
