The iPad Tweet That Enraged Steve Jobs?

I have respect for him, and the reality distortion field his keynotes create. The guy does a good job. Apple does make high quality products, without outright trolling I would find that hard to refute but someone will try.

Pretty much.

I worked on James Cameron's sets way back when I was a student and shortly after I graduated. You know what, same thing, TREMENDOUS tyrant, probably worse than Jobs while shooting because Jobs can also a very persuasive negotiator while Cameron is just a flat out dictator on every level. But you know what, its completely irrelevant in both cases because in the end both get shit done.

I'm not saying that aggressive perfectionism a management style that everyone should be adopting, but both are at the top of their game and it clearly works for them in terms of pushing their people to give beyond what they thought they were capable of delivering.

Ignoring the fact that he began murdering his political opponents and Jews as early as 1933... yeah, "Man of the Year" my ass...

There was never anything good about Hitler. He was a sociopath who lusted for power and control. Did some of his policies help bring Germany out of its depression? Sure. But ultimately look where his goals took them: complete and utter destruction.

Short-term gain at a slightly-longer term horrible cost?

Not only was Hitler responsible for all those jewish, american, and european deaths, but he created hippes TOO?!

If a tweet enraged Stevie, how do you think he will feel when he sees what Tosh did to an iPad?

As much as I dislike Jobs, he has dealt with such backlash forever, and any person can only take so much, and standing up for yourself is Nobel, no matter what opinions we have about their products.

We're lucky he didn't have a cactus on hand.

Oh no doubt that man was beyond evil. I don't think anybody is trying to justify his actions.

There is a part were it says every E-mail sent from a MacBook Wheel automatically signs "Sent from a Macbook Wheel" so you can show off or something. Funny stuff, but sad since a lot of Apple Fanboys lined up for it at Apple stores wanting one.....

Yeah that skit will always be one of The Onions best IMO.

The fact that fanbois actually thought that they could (and wanted to) buy one made it all the better and relevant to the apple bashing.
