I'm glad he's dead.
Yep.

Someone will be glad when you're dead, Mr. Non Inventor.
shareLol As if Steve Jobs was an inventor.
shareHe was an inventor, because he basically single handedly invented an industry. Personal computers existed before Apple, and were better than Apple, but Jobs was the one that brought them to the masses and made them a house hold name. I know, I was there when it happened. While I disagree with some of the decisions he made, there is no doubting or debating the contributions he made, and that only covers the first part of his career. What he did with Apple after he came back is even more incredible.
shareYou described designer but not inventor.
It is often the case that inventors aren't successful at sales, while product designers are measured in large part by sales.
Oh he's SO incredible. I just HAVE to buy his products! My shiny shiny god!
[ Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. ]
Please Suzy, do enlighten us to the lasting contributions you've made to society... We'll be waiting.
shareI think you mean lasting contributions to the pollution of our planet? Or lasting contributions to the anti-socializing of people?
Or are you talking about your own lasting contributions like holding an iPhone in your hands?
[ Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. ]
If all you can think of the iPhone when you think of Steve Jobs then that is your own ignorance. But enjoy your Luddite life style. I hear that "Live Free or Die" is looking for new cast members. Maybe you can go live in a tee-pee while shaking your fist at that cursed new fangled technology. I also heard that Ted Kaczynski is looking for pen pal.
shareHere's the perfect example of the kind of rabid fundamentalism Steve Jobs inspired among his minions. It's like I'm arguing with a Jihadi.
[ Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. ]
A Steve Jobs minion? Wow, I didn't know that. But that Jihadist line did make me laugh. Run along now and go hunt for some WMDs in Iraq.
