dick response, not expecting any better

Im genuinely sad he died. Mostly because he had a family and they loved him and he loved them.
But he really did some great things and pulled apple out from under, the competition was great and I really hope the guys carry on what he started. R.I.P Steve.

A great loss, he was an exceptional visionary

Have you ever heard the phrase "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." ?

He was the apple of their eye... too soon?

[Askari]

The real tragedy is that the staff at Apple are now jobless....... (no Dru, not too soon)

[Arbythep00nage]

Im still not sure if scary was making the first post a joke or not but either way its his call.
I hope Apple starts to diversify a little now and starts to get a little less strict on the way they do things.

It's because people are dicks.

I saw the iRIP thing on a friends Facebook status and borrowed it. Dont think its disrespectful but rather fitting.

[Souper]

He certainly was an extraordinarily talented guy - with a vision to take an industry into the very stuff dreams (and scifi movies) are made of. Thank you Mr Jobs for providing me with the some of the greatest tools a designer could ask for.

So is Gaddafi. Thats not really a compelling point tbh.

Personally, I never liked Steve Jobs. If you wanna know why, read the book iCon and read about how many peoples lives his ego destroyed. Saying that.. I will not forget the massive improvements Jobs & Woz have given us. From the first PC, Toy Story - Pixar, the Ipod, the Iphone and the Ipad. While none of those were original inventions really on Apple`s side, they did make the mold and set standards that everyone else had to catch up with.

Steve Jobs was a great innovator and a bit of a patent troll like Edison. He honestly gave us some amazing hardware that forced hardware manufacturers to play catch up. Steve, thanks for everything you gave us, thanks for pushing the envelope and thanks for your vision.

Im not sure if the good you did balances up against the bad, but you did enough good for the world to notice.

It's actually a very compelling point.... for me.

Standing over Gadafi's dead body I'd be saying "So that's that then" and move on. I'm not one for asking for a joke or shouting YAY! Given this some thought and the guys that need jokes the day they die would probably be the comedians. They'd love it hehe.

How old were you when Princess Diana died? You would have hated it.

Personally, when a very evil person dies, I am joyful, as I care more about the living than I do about the dead, I do however understand but dont agree with your point, so lets agree to disagree. If Mugabe dies today Ill be doing a little dance as I know how many people who are still alive.. .will be grateful and no longer have their lives destroyed. I will only respect someone dead or alive if they deserve it. They dont automatically get some respect now because theyre dead. Anyways, I didnt make a joke about him and I said some nice things when it was hard. So thats me done.

Firstly, after having been bombarded on stacks of emails about the death of Jobs, and actually reading sentiments from people like Gates, Obama, Ballmer, and many others, the ONE-WORD (mmm, there’s a rule about that somewhere here) post 'iRIP' seems like a pretty shallow tribute to a man who built one of the most successful enterprises of our time. Secondly, such a ‘dick response’, hey Stool, but you people are already cracking jokes?

I read plenty meaningful tributes to the man during the course of yesterday, and it does touch my heart that we have lost an icon of our time. Don’t come with a pathetic ONE-WORD tribute to someone and expect anything but a ‘dick response’ from me. When I die, you can start a post and say, ‘DICK’, OK, and on the very next post you can start with the jokes, alright. :gyes:

Maybe upload that tune to your iPod & get that stick outta yer ass. :shrug:

[Stool]

Nah I like the stick.... where it is.

I want to say more but like you said, agree to disagree. Mods gonna lock this thread up anyhow. Not rocking the boat any further. Thx for the cool toys mr jobs. Cheers

Even if you didn't like the guy, hearing about a person who was so dynamic just withering and dying reminds us that we won't live forever - I hope that when I die that there will be lots of people out there remembering the good I did, rather than my very obvious failings..

Joking is a coping mechanism - "we're still alive".. (queue the Portal song..)

Awesome reference in the portal song. If you stop knifing me so much then I will remember you fondly. :p

I think I'll be remembered for my douchebaggery more than anything else. It's amazing how people remember your smallest failings, on the odd occasion (and I am not talking about being perpetually drunk on TS while we play BC2 - that's 'me' time, regardless of whether I am playing with you guys - nice to have you around, though ;) ), yet they'll probably never know about the good deeds you do on a daily basis - lift for the poor bugger in the middle of nowhere, or the 5 bucks for the clearly starving beggar on the corner, etc, etc. These are things we don't shout because they're inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, and the only person it really meant anything to is the person you did it for. I don't measure my life by my failings, I measure it in small increments, touching someone with my generosity, however little that generosity cost me - it meant more to them than it did to me, what's R5, what's a lift when you were going that way anyway, what's the two minutes it cost you stop and pick them up? :shrug:

People don't mourn the loss of someone, they mourn their own personal loss. It's more about you, than them. You're sad because you'll never talk to them again, or kiss them, or hold them - it's your loss you mourn, not the loss of their life. It's yourself you feel sorry for, not them. Death is a very personal thing, and we all deal with it in our own way - I had my first taste of it at 8 years old. I wasn't even perturbed because I didn't even know my grandfather (I was in the hospital when he died), but it tore me apart watching my mother's grief. Still, I wasn't mourning a grandfather, I was 'trying' to console a mother. I guess all my pictures of ants underground saying what a good chap my grandfather was didn't help my old lady, because she lost her rag after the 20th drawing. :p

We live and learn - don't take cr@p so personally, we only have one life. We're all friends around here, regardless of our differences. Yeah, sad that Steve Jobs died - I feel for his wife & kids, but that doesn't affect us in the slightest. When one of you guys kicks the bucket, I'll probably (no promises) be at your funeral AND I'll probably get pissed right afterwards FOR YOU. In fact 'probably' is a euphemism for ' WILL'. I'll remember you, because we spent time together here, as clannies AND I know you wouldn't expect anything less of me, and who am I to disappoint a China? ;)

Got that right.
