Did you cry over the sad dead of Steve Jobs?

Post Reply New Topic

He had a much better life in his 50-something years than most 100 year old people ever had.
Why cry?

Not to mention the fact that Apple monitors and otherwise invades the privacy of their users in their iPhones - and other equipment, as well, most probably. Photographs are taken of what you do on it, all your texts are saved, even when you think you deleted them years ago, a GPS tracking "bug" that now has been fixed/removed, and more. Don't lose your iPhone, Apple users - it's a gold mine for criminals and immoral people. Sell or lose your iPhone, and maybe you will find those intimate photos of you and your girlfriend/boyfriend, on an amateur porno site, afterwards... and don't use it on a computer, as all that sensitive information then will be backed up on that computer, and of course any other you use it on. Oh, and no warranty on the piece of crap thing if you use it in temperatures below zero! What the hell do they even do here in Sweden? Maybe they should be forced to stop selling their crap, here, like they managed to convince a moronic German court to stop allowing the sale of a Samsung mobile, although for entirely other reasons that were for the benefits of Apple.

No, I am not sad that he died. Instead, I am glad that he got cancer and now is dead. Too bad it didn't happen even sooner. Who knows what sorts of damage he has done to the privacy of countless of people?

I find it rather funny, by the way, that people give a damn about an immoral person such as him, with several threads already made about his death, while no one's so far even posted one single thread, on this forum, about the almost three thousand deaths in that recent ferry disaster between Tanzania and Zanzibar. Clearly, Steve Jobs is worth more than all of those.

No. Never knew the guy. People die, life goes on. Sure he created a company, but so what? How many are going to cry when Bill Gates dies, I wonder? How many will cry when Oprah dies?

Dennis Ritchie died a few days ago - I wonder how many people have even heard of him, never mind what he accomplished.
He actually did help change the world.

Dennis Ritchie didn't invent the new 'cool', so who cares about him? :P

You'd better have been cool, or part of it, at least for some time in your life, if you are to be properly remembered. Otherwise, you'll just end up a number in the statistics. Who remembers the architect behind Taj Mahal? The Shah Jahan asked if he loved his wife, which he did, so he killed her so he'd be able to understand the suffering that he was experiencing, for having lost his "favourite" wife to death, and therefore perform better. No one remembers that, but instead thinks of the "romance" of the story. Just attempt to make people remember the positive, and you may be remembered for too long to count.

Spot on.

Cry no. I don't cry over death. But I was sad and bummed.

Hahahahha! Not a bad range of emotions to have

I hope that's not it for Apple. Apple is a good company.

I felt sad and bummed for a bit, there are certainly people who waste air on this planet that I'd rather see them dead than Jobs, but cry? No...

Steve Jobs was certainly a tech visionary but all he really did was create shiny gadgets for consumers and make a corporation and an army of lawyers rich. I mean really, what was so great about his life? Bill Gates did more good than Steve Jobs.

Apple is just another corporation, they're just more successful at maintaining a "good company" image. In many ways Apple is more evil than other corporations, but people only see glass walls and sparkling clean white walls of their stores.

Yes. There's a hairs-breadth between Microsoft and Apple - which is basically just Microsoft with class and a decent OS.
Both are playing patent troll games and harming everyone who isn't a lawyer.

No. There are much sadder deaths occurring everyday that nobody knows about.

Absolutely not. I rarely cry and will not for strangers. As far as Steve Jobs: I do not use Apple products so his existence was irrelevant to me.

No more overpriced trendy garbage gadgets for the next couple of months, what ever shall I do? I barely bat an eye when someone close to me dies, words can't express how little I care for someone whom I've never even met.
