Steve Jobs resigns
 

Just heard

Yeah, I just saw that too.

its sad, I think Mr. Jobs hasnt much time left. Cancer truly sucks.

Hope he's okay. Any latest on his big C?

Saw a good quote on the CNN comments:

"I guess we'll quickly learn the extent to which Apple is a great company and not a good company with a great leader. I wish Steve well!"

"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come,"

who will tell "its amazing x 200 times" brainwash speeches now?

he never learned to be a human. sad.

In bad health. He should have resigned a few years ago.

Greed , Power & Ego were obviously more important to him then his health & last remaining time alive on the planet :2 cents:

OH and in his resignation letter . . .

"I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee."

seems he still has a lesson he hasn't learned :(

Goodbye!

Poor guy... hope he is ok

He will be missed by Apple and the world. A true visionary indeed

Think Different
 

Inevitable, yet still sad - what an incredible run...

I wish Steve Jobs all the best in his remaining days... :)

ADG

You are making me vomit. The world will not miss Steve Jobs. The world will not give one flying fuck about Steve Jobs. Maybe Aplle will, maybe their shareholders will... I don't care, I will be glad to see him go. And I'll be happy to watch Apple - over time - choke to death on its own regulations.

He's a fucking tyrant that believes Apple has the right to control what everyone does with the insanely overpriced plastic shit the sell. That era is here now, but it will soon be gone - just as Comrade Steve will.

Buh-bye, Steve. Maybe you should have relaxed and enjoyed your life while you had the chance.

I'll miss that piece of shit no more than I'd miss any piece of shit who tries to dictate what I can do - and Apple pretty well dictated EVERYTHING you were allowed to do with the ridiculously over-priced and flimsy products they foisted on the gullible.

Going to take my dog for a walk now. Don't give a fuck about Steve Jobs.

If he built a porn site, what niche would he choose?

don't hold back, tell us how you really feel... :upsidedow

I take it you are a PC user ands probably have a droid phone? You sound pretty pissed off like many Windows users.

Steve Jobs birthday should be a national holiday.

Wow. Uptight much? Maybe if you had an OSX device you wouldn't be so annoyed?

you have the scoop on gfy, congrats. That's why you jumped on here immediately to make a thread right?

fucking lol

Oops... :error :helpme :Oh crap

ADG

Macs cause cancer. :/

Steve Jobs made his shareholders cry...

There goes the value again :)

All the best to him...

Hope he has a few more years in him.

I own both Microsoft & Apple products :thumbsup

:warning both corporations are quite greedy, and evil, in some ways

apple is fucked without him

I don't think so. There's always a controlling manipulative douche willing to take reigns.

Speaking of which Mark Zuckerburg just posted this message to Steve Jobs in response to his resignation:

He's had a good run and so have his shareholders. Apple stock is up 9020% since he came back to Apple in 1997. The stock will get dinged today but Apple isn't going anywhere. Today or tomorrow is probably a good day to buy Apple stock.

Ok .........

Poor guy. It's sad for the company to lose him, but much sadder what this indicates about his health. Cancer is a monster that steals people much too soon.

People are no better than ants.. Some of us get stomped out. It really is that simple. If you can hang around on this plant for more than 70 years, consider yourself lucky.

Sucks for him. Will never buy an Apple product, though.

one of the greatest Innovators of all time

I'm amazed that I can say that every single word that I just quoted is exactly how I feel about that piece of shit as well.

If you're one of the millions of morons who choose to go with crapple products that dont even let you change the fucking battery in them, that's your own fault.

Sheeple.

The Apple fanbois are a funny breed.

Say what you want but when I think of the last three apple innovations each one changed my life pretty significantly.

Running is one of my passions and this thread made me think about the first time I ran with my new iPod, seriously changed my life more then any device every had.

And changed in a positive way, it made running even more enjoyable and connected me to music that I loved even faster.

The iPhone gave me endless hours of enjoyment with the first few apps. Can anyone really say the pouring beer app wasn't' the coolest fucking thing the first time you saw it. I loved it.

Lastly the iPad. I am working on a start-up now and the iPad is finally the device that has allowed me to ditch my laptop and PC for demos. I can almost use it exclusively, it is a game changer.

Say what you want about greed and ego, but saying the products are "crap" just makes you sound retarded. There isn't a company in the world that wouldn't seal their batteries in a heart beat to have Apple's success. :thumbsup\

3 product 3 homeruns, not because they look cool because they work.

Beautiful. I think and feel the same.

Ahh so refreshing. :thumbsup

Steve Jobs is the greatest innovator in the world because he put out the iPod, the very first mp3 player EVAR, amirite guise?

Seriously though, the guy will go down as one of the smartest marketers ever. Innovator though? Hmmm...

no kidding, I've had an mp3 probably close to a decade before ipod came out... it only had like 16MB of memory, but at that time it was some elite shit... had a voice recorder built in too... I had hours and hours of fun with that thing, it worked well and wasn't even that expensive at that time, $100 or something, cheaper than the ipod that they sell 15 years later... :1orglaugh

So in 1998 we get the worlds first MP3 player, the MPMan by Saehan.

A few others follow over the next couple years.

Then in 2000 we get the IAudio by Cowan.

Then a year later, after a multitude of other players have launched, Jobs jumps into the fray with the IPod

A CNet news story in 2001 about the first Apple Ipod right before it's launch

I'm gonna guess you're a mac user with a horseshoe up your ass that wears think black rimmed glasses. That thinks his iphone is the best invention since sliced bread.

sorry to hear your cult leader died.

if you love him make sure to donate all property to the foundation that will build temples at this birthplace.
