You mad again, Pipo?

Don't mind me, I just like to propel the bleeding-heart liberals around here ...

Steve Jobs was not a political leader. You could either buy his products or not.

Steve Jobs always kept his private life private and what he did with his money was his business but I'd bet he gave a lot of money to charity. He just didn't need a pat on the back for doing so. Also, Apple matches employee donations to charity to the tune of $10,000 per year per employee. With over 20,000 employees that could add up fast.

In 1997 he banned Apple from participating in any charities.

Thread = FAIL!

He was a master salesman but he wasnt a nice person. Back from when he fucked Woz from getting half the bonus at atari when Woz did all the work. When they went public, employees 3 and 4 werent getting any options. Woz went to Steve and said we should give them some they were with us from the beginning. Steve was like fuck them ,so Woz gave them some of his. I love how they are giving him credit for things Woz did. I think Apple isnt going to do as well. Now all the same people are there but the tension Steve created I think made people perform at a higher level. Now thats gone and no one does a presentation like him. I mean Do you want to sell sugar water or change the world? That's brilliant.

People only give to charity to make them selves feel better.

Stay classy, OP. The fact is that you can question his ethical and business practices all he wants, but there's no need to wish the hell of cancer on anyone. It's just low. A man died. Even if you don't believe in the hype, the people who love him are in pain.

You must live in some kind of bizarre fantasy world, really. The chinese worker before the apple factory showed up was working 20 hours a day on his fecal splattered plot of land for the equivalent of 50 cents per day. When so called "sweatshop" factories open up, those people line up for days trying to get jobs which will pay them 10x what they are making working on subsistence farms for much fewer hours work per day. I crack up when people have this dreamy vision of "clean rural life" like it's some kind of picnic. I grew up working on farms as a kid. It's dirty, exhausting, backbreaking work that never stops, from before dawn until after dark, with no days off, and no vacations for the farmer, ever.

Talk about being a slave? Try owning a farm. That life owns you, and it never stops

None of these "exploited" people are unhappy that corporations open factories in their areas, and no one forces them to work there, they will walk miles and line up for days to get those jobs.

As for starting a business in order to make money, I guess you probably send back all your profits and share them with your customers right? After all, you are in the top 8% of the wealthiest people in the world.

Good point Falcon.
The guy is dead! Pay some respect.

Must not have lasted too long as they have had "Red" products for a while in which a portion of the sales price goes to charity and they have since instituted the matching program of up to $10k per employee per year.

steve was a great businessman but a failure as a human being. all brains and no heart, he cared little about people, but about plastic techno gadgets and money.

he was mythic, but myths aren't the whitewashed self-help garbage of today, but often dark and tragic, as steve's later years were, turning into a skeleton in his high tech gothic castle obsessing about objects until the end instead of letting the curse of death give him some insights into the blessings of life.

not donating to charity didn't make him a bad person, just a cheap ass. He was also pretty dumb, he should've donated to cancer research... they may have been able to save his life.

started once steve stepped down.

So if you don't share your money with others you deserve to die?

I've never been a fan of Steve. In fact, I don't like Apple products at all but I guess it's just fair to say that he was a cool guy and that he did with his money what most of us would have done were we in his position. :2 cents:

My mother always told me, when someone dies, tell only the good things about him or shut your mouth. With Steve Jobs you can easily find a lot of good things to talk about. It is a very sad day. A rare man, left too early. A source of endless inspiration and beautiful technology, he will be missed.

..and at the same time had sweet dreams of sugar plum fairies for their gentle and kind Communist leaders?

I think you are a scumbag for talking shit about the guy this way... further than that he was not greedy and you are obviously ignorant GFY :321GFY

O ok so people like Hitler we shouldn't talk about?

your mothers thinking is completely flawed and pretty stupid.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

It's a basic sense of respect, you don't have to follow it kid. Nothing smarter was born in this thread and this man didn't deserve it. Especially coming from the industry with the most greedy persons and the shadiest business behaviors the internet saw.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

i had to quote that one. its all true. i live in a village that is 95% subsistence farmers. they are up before me every day, follow their cows around all day, or work in their rice paddies, come home tired to some shitty food they grew themselves, drink a bit of rice whiskey, beat their wife, and pass out. wake up at 4-5am and do it again. most of them make less a month than i bill for 3 hours of programming. oh, and the kids follow in their footsteps. most are farming as soon as they can walk. school is only required to 6th grade. few make it past that.

its not a glorious life. they would be pretty happy if an iphone factory landed nearby.
:2 cents:

:thumbsup :thumbsup

I do not care who you are or who you think you are here ...
You're a real asshole and I hope you endure a slow.. lonely and painful death just the same ...

So all ppl not giving to charity deserves to die? :helpme :321GFY:321GFY:321GFY

Very well said :thumbsup:thumbsup

Only a few words to say "you are a cunt"

No, I never stood in line.
Was that an insult? Yes, I like Apple products. You got me faggot.

I think this sums it up best. A lot of people are blind to this. Its the classic when someone is shot in the ghetto everyone gets on the news/papers saying they were such great fathers/sons etc they leave out the drug dealer/gang banging part. That said he didnt deserve to die.

That's a horrible thing to say IMO.

:1orglaugh

There's a joke about extended warranties for short battery life in here somewhere...

another attention seeking 20 something fucking idiot

matt's contribution to the world is trolling gfy

well done matt - have the rest of the day off

Harsh thread lol

Matt you;re a retard, as others have said on a purely tax point he must have given to charity.

substitute the office for farm and beer for rice whiskey and sounds like the average american office drone.

Yeah and if it wasnt for him and Bill and a couple others yer ass wouldnt be workin online and you'd be at fucking MCd's fipping burgers DOUCHEBAG

Take care Mr Jobs and may you rest in peace

Everyone in this profession (working online) should pay their respect.

JUST SO YOU KNOW HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO JOIN FOR THE RED CAMPAIGN PRODUCTS RAISED OVER 7.5 MILLION WITH APPLE FOR THEM ...

I GUESS IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR U .....

AND NO ONE DESERVE TO DIE SLOWLY OR PAINFULLY SELF FUCKING FISH TO THINK LIKE THIS

HO !
AND SMILE DUDE YOU ARE HEALTHY
DON'T WAIST YOUR TIME SETTING THIS POST IT'S A SHAME.... A REAL WAIST
AND BITE IN LIFE ...
CAUSE YOU NEVER FUCKING KNOW WHAT IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER OF YOUR OWN LIFE:2 cents:

Why?

Jobs didn't create Apple products, the engineers did. He simply ran his mouth. I suppose leadership and vision is important, but without the products, he was a bunch of hot air.

Fun Fact: Jobs denied paternity of first daughter and let her be raised on welfare.

yes dumb even the radio is calling him one of the greatest inventors of all time. ceo and businessman maybe, an inventor he was not.

He stole all the ideas from other people / companies.


Stole the idea for Breakout from Wozniak

Stole the idea for the Mac from Xerox PARC

Stole the idea for iTunes from MP3.com

Stole the idea for the iPhone from Nokia

Stole the idea for the iPad from Microsoft

Stole OS X from FreeBSD

Neglected his kids and family for 20 years


The hilarity is this is the kind of person who is celebrated and lauded in society.
