Though I use PCs, it would be hard to imagine the current state of the computing and technology without the ideas of Steve Jobs and the people of Apple. A pioneer, for sure.

So sad.

Dang it I just made this on Power Down. Oh well, no one goes there anyway.

Anyway, I'm not an Apple guy, but Steve Jobs has done a lot of awesome stuff (like, you know, practically inventing the personal computer), and it's a shame he died.

That's too bad. Now Apple needs to go.

Fuck Apple.

The determining factor in whether or not Apple will continue be a leading company comes down to the actions of its new CEO. Whether or not you like Apple products, it's impossible to ignore the marketing genius that Steve Jobs perpetuated through his leadership.

If the CEO isn't even half as good as Steve Jobs, then Apple is more or less screwed out of its top-tier position.

I guess Steve Jobs didn't get the new iLife.

If by "marketing", you mean brainwashing consumers into thinking that buying a device makes you a part of a "community" and that memory(especially flash memory) is OMG SUPER EXPENSIVE YOU WANT 16 MORE GB YOU BEST PAY OUT THE ASS TO GET IT!!!!!! then yeah he was a genius. It worked after all.

i hate macs

Pretty much what Zero just said there. All they had to do was get enough people to buy the iPod because it was called an iPod, and now everyone's doing it. Technologically-impaired adults even think any and all MP3 players are called iPods. Does that mean they're the best? Nope. They're a brand name. You're paying to have the lowercase i at the beginning of your device's name and that image of a partially-eaten apple on the back of a product.

Sadly Apple won't die.

ITT: Nobody knows what Steve Jobs actually did in creating personal computers.
