Steve Jobs, apparently.

jaysus facebook is gone mad with the thanks steve jobs comments. Thanks for what? He stole other people's ideas and charged shitloads for them.

Don't get me wrong, he did it very well and made his company very successful and all. But his main achievement was probably changing the habits of techno-cabbages. I'd suggest it wasn't innovation though. He took other people's ideas and made them more user friendly, which in turn made his brand (again stolen) the most popular thing in the universe.

Anyway RIP Steve. No one should die that young.

.

And the brand itself became self perpetuating. He turned computers into those Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirts that just have Abercrombie and Fitch on them.

That being said, I'm buying an Macbook Pro soon because I want Logic.

Oh is that all he did is it ? what a lazy bastard.

Yes, that's exactly what I implied.

i read a quote by someone who should be sensible enough to know better, comparing him to edison and einstein.
a bit of hyperbole is to be expected, but c'mon.

 

[ratmonkey]

That's probably fair enough, Thomas Edison wasn't above nicking other people's ideas (when he wasn't electrocuting elephants)
Also he was a shameless self promoter.

well there was also the U2 iPod and the laptop that fits in an envelope. I forgot to mention those

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

While it's sad to see someone die so young, I have to admit that I wished death on him a few times while dealing with iTunes.

i think steven fry made those edison type comparisons a few weeks back somewhere, could be someone else but it was defo on the radio.

I'm seeing this one a lot on FB

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Safe to say that's not on the wall in the Foxconn factory.

In fairness, no room with all the Work Harder and No Bathroom Breaks signs.

you'd wonder had he some regrets about his own life seeing as thats kind of more or less exactly what he did himself

 

[ann post]

Yup.
He'll never see the iPhone 5

apparently its already mostly developed, one was 'leaked' from foxconn a few weeks back. if its true, its actually a wee bit bigger than the 4.

I heard its very like a current Samsung product and after giving them loads of guff in the past about copying Apple they decided to delay it and rethink
