Matey Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 An absolutely amazing man; what a tragic loss his death is. Take solace in knowing he's no longer in any pain. To hell with humanity;The more I see, the less I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_love_burritos Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Rest in hell, sweet prince. The most shrewd, devious, moneymongering CEO of our time.-Sent from my iPhone He has a point though. He was an iConic figure, who gave us lots of iStuff. Shut the hell up about all this world change [cabbage] though. He was a ruthlessly ambitious individual with his own vices (like everyone else). It is not worth lowering the memory of one man to elevate another's. Leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champion Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 That wasn't his point at all though, he's saying he's just an evil greedy person that's going to hell. I don't think he was any sort of revolutionary either but saying [cabbage] like that without anything to back it up just makes him sound like a 13 year old who doesn't like Apple trying to be edgy.

Nomrombom Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Shrewd: He was undeniably a visionary - advanced personal technology and shaped our culture. And his business model was amazingly successful. Devious: Still a bastard. Not perfect. Deftly manipulated consumers to make money and grow his company. Increased US culture of consumerism, created one of the first and most popular "must have items". Moneymongering: He ran Apple. Business model - make people buy the same [cabbage], just repackaged to be thinner and better looking. How many different generations of ipods are there, 6? He was very obviously after a lot of money and he was successful. Rest in hell: I don't like him, just my personal opinion. sweet prince: Still a major loss. He will be missed by many. He was not the devil, and he was very intelligent - his death is regrettable, regardless of your opinion of him. I don't even know what the internet thinks of him, nor do I care.

Alg Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 RIPod Steve Jobs. The Leonardo da Vinci of our generation. R.I.P. Steve Jobs.

Dizzle229 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 >be wrong>get corrected>block corrector that'll get you far. whatever. anyway back on topic, i wonder what effect this will have on the apple stock. obviously it's falling right now but i wonder when it will level out and start rising again / what effects this will have on the stock market at large.Remember that Jobs apparently had a pretty big hand in each of Apple's products until recently. Although it could well even out, people are worried for the quality of future products. Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still preying on the average US consumer. That's my opinion, you don't have to share it (nor does anyone else). Actually there's a lot here what you've said that I agree with. In the end they just re-packaged the MP3 player, made it shiny with a few bells and whistles and sold it as the Ipod. It all went from there. Jobs was good with branding his products and knew business but he was also a control freak and, in my opinion, would have driven Apple into the ground again. The whole company took on his persona. It seems that you're getting grief from those who've heavily bought into the Apple gimmick and won't hear a thing said against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzle229 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I'd have to agree with rocco here. I may not be a huge fan of Capitalism, but the fact is that Steve Jobs made a product that people liked, charged a price they were willing to pay for it, and the products were all LUXURIES. It's not like he was holding water ransom for $30 a bottle, for things like this, if you dislike the product or the price, you just don't buy it. Think of it this way. You say he repackaged the MP3 player. Probably true, but in a market driven by competition, people preferred HIS ripoff to the original or any of the other ripoffs and were willing to pay for his over the others. Nothing devious about it, it's exactly how our economy is supposed to work. Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
