Laugh it up while you still can.. then go out and do better than he did!!
Hitler started a technology race in Germany that brought new technologies to the world, and brought Germany out of a tremendous depression. The first ever magnetic tape recording was of Hitler's speech thanks to Nazi party investments, and particularly in aeronautics and rocketry he led great and magical innovation. Bet you there are people on the forum driving Volkswagens today, a concept brought to life by Hitler himself who personally drew the outline and oversaw production of the iconic Beetle.Yep, I love listening to my Panzer every day.
I have a funny feeling there wouldn't be a 300+ post RIP thread (of mostly sincere people) had Bill Gates died.
I hate this forum more and more every day. You all are pussies for fighting over something so stupid. Say your prayers and just ignore the negativity. Is it that fucking hard? Tired of hearing all you crying sissies!
Rip Steve jobs!
Peace im out!
Every single word you said can be applied to Hitler. Enough said.

Point is simple, you can achieve a lot and still be a total tyrannical asshole.
He had Lisa when he was 23 and denied paternity for two years. So other than the fact I don't normally go around holding grudges about things that happened thirty years ago, I did enough deplorable things in my mid-twenties that I don't hold things against them that they did decades ago because I'm not the same person I was over twenty years ago (and incidentally when young males' brains are still in development).So you would allow your daughter to literally be living on welfare while you lived in opulence, and refuse to even pay child support until you were court ordered?
I wonder how many people Jobs killed by hurling iPhones and iPads at them with great speed and accuracy really?? dude??
Where is your bleeding heart for those he screwed/possibly screwed because he bought himself a new liver.

So when I say screw Steve Jobs, it's for good reason.
I'm on the side of "Not sure what to feel." Ya he was important but he was also ruthless.

You missed the point entirely. No one is saying Steve Jobs equals Hitler. Just the fact that if you only look at their positive accomplishments, the lists are pretty damn similar. The same could be said of just about anyone. It's just an interesting thought exercise to point out that when you only look at the positives, just about anyone who ever had a little power can be made to look like some saint or savior of mankind.
I'm on a touchpadHope this isn't out of line but sitting here in front of my PC as many of you are I couldn't help thinking of the irony that we reached the post-Steve Jobs era long before we reached the post-PC era.

TBH I've never owned an apple product in my life, but no matter how you slice it, I don't see any way to justify comparing jobs and hitler in the same sentence. Why not jobs vs ghandi vs gates vs mlk vs hitler vs stalin...can we at least try to use some perspective here. I'm sure someone will disagree but again IMHO I think you are just using a sour grapes argument.

Real fucking innovatve jobs I wanted a fucking data pad too back in the 90's I could have pointed and told people to fucking make stuff like that too the credit should go to the writers of all this sci fi TV you have been stealing ideas from.
People ought to be measured by everything they've done, not just the good or the bad.
Every single word you said can be applied to Hitler. Enough said.
No one claimed he invented those things, stop being foolish.
I just saw this for the first time. While I don't like many of the things he did, it's a truth that he did more to advance computer technology than almost anyone else alive outside of Woz and Gates himself. Whatever else he did, he left the world a better place.
How much trouble will I get in here if I say what I really want to say about that jerk.
I'm glad he got to live a bit longer because he bought his way to the top of a donor list and others' suffered because of it.
Please explain?
what i see is he took existing tech and put it in a purdy aluminum body or plastic case and charged a fortune for it...
Boomstick, Ruoh, and others who believe he bought a liver that he shouldn't have gotten:
UNOS decides who gets using MELD for ages 18+ and PELD for children under 18. MELD is:
"This system is based on the risk or probability of death within 3 months if the patient does not receive a transplant. The MELD score is calculated based only on laboratory data in order to be as objective as possible. The laboratory values used are a patient's creatinine, bilirubin, and international normalized ratio, or INR (a measure of blood-clotting time). A patient's score can range from 6 to 40. In the event of a liver becoming available to 2 patients with the same MELD score and blood type, time on the waiting list becomes the deciding factor."
http://www.emedicinehealth.com/liver_transplant/article_em.htm
Please note that MELD only reverts to time on the waiting list when they have candidates who are equally sick; MELD is about allocating transplants based on severity of need. Also please note that kids are on a different list than adults.
UNOS is so objective that many people are angry that those suffering from alcoholic cirrhosis get liver transplants.
The assumption that those of you who are disrespecting UNOS are making is that money will move you up that list. It does not. More money will let you join more lists, some of which may be shorter than others. This is not against the rules, you would do it if you had the money to do it, and whining about someone who had the money to do it is jealousy, plain and simple.
My objection is not what you think about Steve Jobs. My objection is that you believe either that you know better who should get a transplant than UNOS does or that it is corrupt. You are wrong on both counts.
If you believe that someone who doesn't need a liver transplant can get one under the UNOS system, you are deluded. If you believe that Steve Jobs was not near death when he got his liver transplant, you are deluded.
Even if you never gain a better understanding of history, hopefully you'll gain *Perspective*I am so sick of this disgusting mentality in this generation... Princess Dianna a woman who brought nothing to this world but paparazzi press dies and everyone is distraught and cant believe it. Mother Teresa, a woman who dedicated her entire life to helping others dies and nobody notices.
that's an interesting point. and something to consider - but mother teresa passed on 14 years ago last month almost to the day. is that really on topic????
