RIP Steve. From an Apple hater but a life lover.
Wow. I really didnt expect someone to share the same opionion as me.
Hated the guy.
Hated his Marketing Domination
Fucking Hated apple.
But RIP, Your gone now. Whats done is Done.
Put to perspective I look at Steve Jobs like a gifted business man able to transform old junk into the latest big thing, NOT an inventor, NOT a developer, he wasn't either. He resembles Marconi, for many years remembered as the radio inventor whereas all he did in such grounds was to buy it from Nikola Tesla.
From his stubbornness I applaud only one; keep iPhone/iPad Java (and other junk, like flash) free, it made a huge difference... when you try to compare an Android (Java junk) to iOS you can easily see it. But nevertheless he turned Macintosh from a high quality company into a good-for-nothing-but-vanity-braindead-folks Apple.
But maybe he was right... maybe the masses love junk. How else can we explain the success of PC compared to its late 80's competition?
