HIV? Really? I thought he had been battling pancreatic cancer.
|
I heard cancer too, think Kiki's buying into some sort of conspiracy theory :D
Unless of course he bought himself a hooker sometime in Asia ... then all bets are off :eek: |
Bless his family. Going to be interesting to see what direction the company goes in over the next few years.

Call him what you want, but this dude was a genius. Yes he stole all of his ideas and bought most of his patents by praying on the weak, and fully admitted to it (He quoted Twain "Good artists borrow, a great artist steals") he mastered the opportunist game to the T, but he also proved that hype is 99% of the game, great devices are 1% in this business.

the man have my full respect, most of his ideas and marketing strategy is beyond good
i mean if anything i don't dislike him as a person but as the apple, just pissed alotta people off when they ware like "hey world, btw we are coming out with ifone 2000 TOMORROW!" but at the same time it keeps most of the consumers happy this is just a theory, but it's a theory that may VERY much be true, me and my broffer ware talking about the guy lost the new ES ifone, but look back they have almost leaked one or two out every year when it's getting to come out and that creates a HUGE hype for people been watchin it, and most likely they have one or few get "lost" on purpose and that is just pure genius |
It's called Marketing Kiki, and when you make billions of $$ off of it it's called genius :D
|
pioneer! that's the damn word i couldn't think of at the time but now i can @.@
btw that theory of my was i the only one though of that? |
no man, that was Davey Crocket :D
kilt him a bar, when he was only three :rofl: |
Guys,
This industry including the PC industry would not be what it is today without him... whether we like it or not.. windows stole alto of design ideas from the original apple/mac OS and together they stole back and forth to make both companies grow... all in all above comments are correct.... make a cult item/community.... cult community will buy item sight unseen and line up for hours on end or even days without seeing a working unit... that kind of marketing is something I would love to learn as very few can master such attention to that level. As much as I hate obama I must agree with a recent statement... "The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented." |

"The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented." He must have given his "fair share" to Obama before he kicked. ;) |
wow dude that just hit me too!

The guy definitely left a legacy! Whether you love Mac's (or hate them as most of us here do) you have to have respect for his body of work, whether it was all at his hands or not. To build Apple, leave Apple, start NeXt, go back to Apple after they bought NeXt, and make his mark on history. Either way we look at it, he is the reason this world is geared towards the Personal Computer. If he was not here would someone else have done it, probably, but would they have been able to pull off the marketing that he did, or the visions that he had... Look at Apple now, their new CEO blew it big time with the iPhone 4S.. Jobs would have sold it as the iPhone 5, and made people believe they needed it, since when does Apply release a new feature on an iPad/iPod/iPhone, and it not be called "i" something. Jobs knew just how to feed into people, and give them exactly what they thought they needed. Apple is going to take a big hit from this, and they need to turn something around fast, I predict that the iPhone 4S sales will be about half of what was expected if it was actually the "iPhone 5". Genius is a good word, because he was precise and calculating in every move he made. |
On a side note man do I need to update my signature. :laughing:
|
Dam thats the same cancer that took my Dad. Maybe one day we will be able to buy are health...
|
Personally, I don't see why anyone would insult the memory of Steve Jobs by mentioning B. Hussein Obama in the same posting. B. Hussein stands for everything that was counter to the views expressed by Steve Jobs.
B Hussein is a visionary also, it's just that his vision isn't exactly consistent with the values of the United States and those that made Steve Jobs the historical figure that he is. Since I know you weren't thinking correctly when you performed this blasphemy, so... Domi Domi Domi, you're all Catholics now :D |

Im still trying to figure out what the hell your talking about MD? lol |
lol ... I was yankin your chain because you combined the names Jobs and Obama together in one sentence :rofl: Not that I admire Steve Jobs that much ;)
Agree with your take on the Jackfruit currently occupying the oval office :argh: |
