Youth in Asia 1,086 Posted October 6, 2011 They say your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. Unfortunately for Steve Jobs, he hadn't got a Flash player installed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razor Boy 19 Posted October 6, 2011 I knew Jobs would get a bit of coverage BUT pass the sick bag ! The man was good at marketing but the products are under spec'ed and over priced. A triumph of spin over common sense. Just think of all those hipsters crying into their skinny lattes their world is at an end. Spleen vented. Razor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted October 6, 2011 I can't help but think people are over-reacting to his death - particularly on facebook. Within about 10 minutes of his death being announced, one of my 'friends' had changed his status to "RIP Steve Jobs", joined an "RIP Steve Jobs" group, and changed his profile picture to a black and white photo of Steve Jobs with writing in the background "Steve Jobs 1955-2011". Anybody would think he knew the guy... Well, according to the hyperbole on the once-staid ABC, he was the "Da Vinci of our time": http://blogs.abc.net.au/drumroll/2011/10/s...ns-in-life.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 7, 2011 The Westboro Baptist Church plan to picket his funeral. I suppose it means that Jobs has lived a full and godless life. No atheist's funeral is complete without them. Unfortunately they don't do overseas pickets, so mine will have to do without them. Oh well. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the bit I like "Westboro will picket his funeral. He had a huge platform; gave God no glory & taught sin." In a subsequent tweet, Phelps wrote of Jobs: "No peace for man who served self, not God." All this was sent to the twittersphere using....... an iPhone So he served himself, but they were happy to buy his product to support the cause Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 14, 2016 Rev. Robert Palladino, the monk who imbued Steve Jobs with the love of typography--so key to Apple's success--died February 26, aged 83. After leaving the monestary, Palladino began teaching calligraphy. One of Reed’s most famous students, although perhaps better known as a dropout, was Apple founder Steve Jobs. For years afterwards, Jobs would credit Fr. Palladino with not only encouraging him to package the original Apple computers with a variety of elegant fonts, a then-revolutionary concept, but also with his fascination with design that allowed the burgeoning computer company to stand out from the crowd and bring their products to a wider market.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 1, 2023 A small group of Steve Jobs’ family, friends and former colleagues have collected his bits of wisdom into “Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words,” available free to the public online starting on April 11. Somewhere between a posthumous memoir and a scrapbook album, it is told through notes and drafts Jobs emailed to himself, excerpts of letters and speeches, oral histories and interviews, photos and mementos.
