Steve Jobs. One Year Today
 

One year ago a great visionary died. Without him Maybe, we wouldn't have our beloved industry as we know it. He brought personal computers into our homes, always pushed the limit...

RIP Steve

"Here?s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They?re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can?t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do"

- Steve Jobs

Nice thread. RIP Steve.

RIP Steve but IBM brought the computers into our homes.

Or Commodore.

RIP. Awesome man.

RIP giant

Very nice tribute on apple.com today : http://www.apple.com/

Have to admit, his departure has not affected my life one iota.

exceptional man

RIP Steve.

nice vid

Truly an inspiration to a lot of us. Can't believe it's been a year already, but he was one man that changed the world :2 cents:

Holistic health FTW! Just sayin... but the iPhone rocks.

No.. But his existence absolutely did. Billions of people can say the same about him. How many will say that about you or I? Hundreds at most?

Give the man his due.

Yes. He was truly the greatest, most influential, most important and most charismatic man the world has ever seen.

Let's remember that without Steve Jobs we would not have computers, music players, phones, fire and the wheel.

We would have all those things... But they would all suck.

A Zune? Windows Vista? Ipaq cellphones? CDs and floppy discs?

Of course, because everything "sucked" before Steve Jobs condescended to make stuff, didn't it?

Can't have a sensible argument with religious people.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

And don't forget Only 640 Kb...

Love him, hate him.. But you have to respect him...

R.i.p. :(

Great way of putting it in perspective.

A CEO died. The company has gone on.

Do people also celebrate the year anniversaries of Sam Walton dying?

Liberals worshiping an extreme pro-business tyrant.

Never stops being funny.

yes, by the people who know him :2 cents:

:)

He has left a huge legacy. It's not just about technology.

There are literally thousands of people that deserve more praise than him, but to each his own I guess.

RIP

Gone too soon

R.I.P

I was thinking the same thing. Although I did wipe my iTouch and reload all of my music back onto it while I was working today.

Been a year already? Haven't even had time to miss him.

I thought he was against porn !

No, but many celebrate the lives of Tesla, Edison, Franklin and others whose lives changed our world for the better.
He was a very flawed person, but his mark on the western world will be felt for decades or centuries. Much like theirs.

:1orglaugh

Crazy thing is, Mactards actually write this kind of total garbage with complete sincerity. :Oh crap

He presided over multiple companies that revolutionized home computing, animated films, telecom, purchasing music, mobile devices, marketing via traditional media, marketing via new media, branding, packaging.... Any idea how many patents he is involved with? He was not defined by the Mac, in fact he proved he was bigger than Apple if you look at what he did while away and what thy did with him vs without him. Sure, he was no Hulk Hogan or Paris Hilton... So there are people out there for you to admire instead, don't worry. ;)

I'd like to see what he thinks about all this mess with maps and all the jokes about apple because of this maps. People have been mocking apple in the past too but not like this - now they became an internet joke.I wonder how he would react.

If it had been up to Steve Jobs, everyone in the adult industry would be out of jobs and porn would be made illegal.

Quick ass year. Then again it was probably the longest-lasting death since Princess Di...press wouldn't shut up about it, i.e. still hasn't been a year since "Steve Jobs dead" was news. He was a great marketer/visionary and otherwise quite an asshole, big whoop.

Does his tombstone read " iDied"

.

People tend to forget (or were never aware) that Tim Berners-Lee ran the world's first web server on an NeXT computer built and designed by Steve Job's company after he left Apple.

Jobs was also instrumental in funding and launching Pixar (he was the major shareholder in the beginning).
