RIP Steve Jobs

[IMNS]

this dude makes some solid points.

I dont think anyone else other than this 'dude' thinks that Jobs invented the PC, GUI, Internet, mp3 players, or even touchscreen based smartphones. So not really sure what those solid points are here. If I write a post about Edison and claim that he didnt invent the universe, will I be making some 'solid points' too? Coz I'm pretty sure Edison didnt. This dude is just talking crap and has no idea why people admired Steve Jobs. So he pulls crap out of his rear and claims it was ALL WRONG so he is RIGHT!!!!

see. the thing is that steve jobs dying and people crying for him is largely a first world problem. ipads and iPhones are cool but they are not what majority of this world cares about. people have the right to choose who they mourn for.

Do you always search google/newspaper for : "I hate Apple/steve jobs, who else does?"

News from The Associated Press

he was indeed a nut case.

----------

Isaacson wrote that Jobs was livid in January 2010 when HTC introduced an Android phone that boasted many of the popular features of the iPhone. Apple sued, and Jobs told Isaacson in an expletive-laced rant that Google's actions amounted to "grand theft."

"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."

Jobs used an expletive to describe Android and Google Docs, Google's Internet-based word processing program. In a subsequent meeting with Schmidt at a Palo Alto, Calif., cafe, Jobs told Schmidt that he wasn't interested in settling the lawsuit, the book says.

"I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want." The meeting, Isaacson wrote, resolved nothing.

Jobs was never a typical CEO. Apple's first president, Mike Scott, was hired mainly to manage Jobs, then 22. One of his first projects, according to the book, was getting Jobs to bathe more often. It didn't work.
