Listen, I give him full credit for his marketing ideas and product concepts. The dude knew what people wanted out of electronic devices and he made it happen for them. He's an INSANELY smart and intelligent businessman, and made shit that millions of people love. That's impressive, it really is. Congrats. But he's not a ****ing hero, and he didn't make my life any better by building all the gadgets he sold. I've owned one Apple product in my entire life-- this MacBook I'm typing on right now. I love it. But if Steve Jobs never existed, I probably would have just simply bought another laptop. JFC, what's next? Did Johannes Gutenberg write the ****ing Bible? |

He accelerated innovation in the PC industry. Introduced PCs to the mass market. Created a user-friendly interface that inspired Windows. When more people start using PCs, then other developers (e.g. software developers) become more likely to want to use your product. He created critical mass for mp3's. You wouldn't have been able to buy a ****ing Zune without the iPod, because music producers wouldn't have wasted their time converting their entire library music to a platform nobody was using (except illegally). He innovated the iPhone. No iPhone, likely no Droid either. He innovated the iPad, creating a revolution in touchpads. So if you like using computers (with Windows or a similar software), enjoy touchscreen phones with apps, enjoy touchpads, or enjoy being able to download mp3's, and not just albums but individual songs as well... then yes, Jobs most certainly made your life better. |

RIP Steve. Sad day for Apple as they will probably start losing their dominance in the near future.

It figures that Claynus would make this thread about him and his hatred for all things Apple.

You can't help but laugh at people that act as though Apple, and by extension Steve Jobs, did nothing.

I have a 30GB Zune, and I love it.
And it only cost me $70. Eat shit, jobs. Or eat yourself, I guess. Wait, you can't eat.
