He's proof that the people really are nothing but mindless consumer sheep whose lives can easily be controlled by slick marketing

I would be hard pressed to think of any one person in the last 30 years who has had a bigger impact on our modern day to day lives. Let's not forget his contributions before all of the "i" products (iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, iTunes). Despite the success of Windows, I believe that in the 80s Jobs (or at least his company) was the biggest influence on what a PC was thought to be, or should be, and the idea that the average family could have one. My own anecdotal experience from the 90s was that in my college computer labs, the half with the Apple products was always up and running, while the half with the Windows PCs usually had several computers that were blue screened or otherwise out of commission. Windows has come a long way since then, but perhaps would not have been motivated to do so had it not been for the superior reliability of the Apple products.Comment

I don't use Apple products, but it can be easily argued that without he & Wozniak, the idea of the personal computer as we know it either wouldn't have happened at all, or would have happened way, way later, then he went on to be a major force for change in at least two other industries. His work had an effect on almost everyone's life, one way or another. I don't think people are getting all upset so much as they are giving him the same treatment someone like Edison got when he died.Comment

RIP Steve.
But, he helped enabled the world to be more convoluted..not easier IMO!
His innovations..or any others don't mean squat when the batteries run dead.Last edited by horns666; 10-06-2011, 12:52 PM."Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

He put together hell of an design team, iProducts will be featured in art and design books hundred years from now on.
Thanks for technical innovations and design, no thanks for being one of the headmen of Disney and letting it produce mediocre crap that helps to drop the IQ levels of the public."There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

With all the money, fame, knowledge, innovations and power Steve Jobs had. Dying from cancer at age 56 brings much less hope to the world..me thinks.:think:
Meanwhile some video game nerds figured out the cure for aids. Prolly couldn't have done that without Steve Jobs' influence..:think:
Seriously..cancer. why?:think:"Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"
