Sys's obsessive hating has always struck me as weirdo. I don't like windows, but I don't get all frothy at the mouth and write diatribes.
What don't you like about windows. Windows are one of the greatest inventions ever. How else could you work in harsh environments and still be protected, while having a clear picture of what's in front of you. Yea, windows are great.Sys's obsessive hating has always struck me as weirdo. I don't like windows, but I don't get all frothy at the mouth and write diatribes.

Wrong again, just listen to the Reaganomics, rich people are all philanthropists. They have the money and the power and the know how to distribute it.why is it necessary for jobs to donate? why is it necessary for gates to donate? difference between being selfish and philanthropist.
shouldn't you be riding your fixie over to the memorial at the apple store?Wrong again, just listen to the Reaganomics, rich people are all philanthropists. They have the money and the power and the know how to distribute it.
People mourn the loss of Steve Jobs because he had an uncanny ability to simplify crap that is complicated. He could look at technology and figure out a way for it to make sense for people to use it as an effective and productive tool without all the worry. He didn't invent the mouse, he didn't invent a graphical user interface, he didn't invent smart phones, slate PCs, video editing, online music purchasing or any of that stuff... But his company is the first one that ever created something that made it possible for my parents and grandparents to take that technology and use it to improve their lives.Question: will people be this concerned when Bill Gates, a man who has publicly given friggin oodles of money away, and has signed the giving pledge to donate half his wealth, yet created just as much or more technology dies? I'm just confused as to why we're all so concerned over the (albeit untimely and sad) death of a guy who sold us lots of ****, but never publicly gave any money away outside of through apple itself. Will we mourn the passing of Warren Buffet as much, who made even more money, gave even more money away, but didn't sell us any ****?
I'm sure he was fully informed about the consequences of every decision he made.
http://www.theecologist.org/News/news_analysis/837185/apple_the_hidden_costs_of_your_ipad_and_iphone.html...in recent years the company has faced criticism for its less than exemplary environmental and social record including the use of toxic chemicals, a secretive supply chain and a lack of general commitment to green issues. Unlike other companies, it refuses to set future targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and does not produce corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports.
While Apple has belatedly answered many of these accusations, merely responding is the last thing many expected of this pioneer in its field. It may be breaking new ground with its technological innovations, but appears content to react rather than lead when it comes to the environmental and social impact of those products.
....
Gideon Middleton, a senior lecturer in business and climate change at the University of East Anglia, says Apples failure to shoulder its environmental and social responsibilities is down to one man: Steve Jobs.
'Even a company like Wal-Mart is quite forcefully pushing climate change and social responsibility down its supply chain in the Far East I find it incongruous that Apple isnt doing the same. To explain that disconnect in what in so many other ways seems to be a responsible brand you would have to look at the belief systems of a companys senior managers. One would suspect that the ultimate person preventing these things happening is Steve Jobs himself.
It will be interesting to see who replaces Jobs as chief executive if he steps down due to poor health, Middleton adds. 'If they dont put in someone with a more responsible, ethical and sustainable viewpoint, they will succumb to short-term financial pressures to keep producing more and more new products.'
Apple was approached for a comment but declined to respond to specific questions.
And this misinformation has no bearing on these Apple issues (all well known and documented problems) nor the fact that they even look pathetic compared to Walmart. The person quoted doesn't work in the same department, this is a university.And the university of East Anglia is theschool which is at the middle of the climate change contraversy becase of the 'modifying' of their climate data. Just tossing that out there...
Six committees investigated the allegations and published reports, finding no evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct. The scientific consensus that global warming is occurring as a result of human activity remained unchanged by the end of the investigations. However, the reports criticised climate scientists for their disorganised methods, bunker mentality and lack of transparency. Climate scientists and organisations pledged to restore public confidence in the research process by improving data management and opening up access to data.
My are hatred??? These are all articles from mainstream publications, I didn't write them. I'm not the one ignoring the facts to feel better about consumerism and marketing.youre hatred for them is to the point of being scary/hilarious.
When he was a little kid Steve Jobs stole his lunch money and used to pick on him. He has lived with this until now. I expect to see Syadasti finally be able to overcome the abuse he recieved at the hands of that monster... Atleast thats my hope....youre hatred for them is to the point of being scary/hilarious.
Actually we were pleasantly unaware, but now that you mention it we are all going to pull out our Iphones and post that sh!t on FaceBook. Thanks for making us look cool again....My are hatred??? These are all articles from mainstream publications, I didn't write them. I'm not the one ignoring the facts to feel better about consumerism and marketing.
i are didnt say you wrote them. i assumed they were part of your scrap book of hate towards JobsMy are hatred??? These are all articles from mainstream publications, I didn't write them. I'm not the one ignoring the facts to feel better about consumerism and marketing.
maybe Jobs shoulda called and apologized.When he was a little kid Steve Jobs stole his lunch money and used to pick on him. He has lived with this until now. I expect to see Syadasti finally be able to overcome the abuse he recieved at the hands of that monster... Atleast thats my hope....

Maybe if the only apple product I owned wasn't a 6 year old iPod.shouldn't you be riding your fixie over to the memorial at the apple store?
Are you kidding? He didn't do ANY of those things.People mourn the loss of Steve Jobs because he had an uncanny ability to simplify crap that is complicated.

That's pretty amazing. I hope there are more people floating around the world that have at least a fragment of his vision.
He stole your Lunch Money too? He's dead now. Let it go....Are you kidding? He didn't do ANY of those things.
HIS COMPANY DID.
Apple is not dead.
Another rich selfish American is dead who made money selling stuff to people with first world problems.
He was a scumbag as far as i can see.
Making millions off people who are environmentally aware (go one do a poll among your Iphone/pad/pod owning friends and see) and doing nothing to alter the harm his products manufacturing causes.
Making millions pushing the ultimate in consumerism, and doing nothing philanthropic.
People like Jobs are the villains in the US, not the heroes.
Just to stir the pot, many white Americans might consider him a "Muslim terrorist" like Obama, where is Jobs' birth certificateHe stole your Lunch Money too? He's dead now. Let it go....
And what the fvck have you ever done with your life? I'm no fan of Apple or Jobs but damn dude, he's dead. Time to get another hobby.My are hatred???

Did I create this thread? Ask and you shall receive.And what the fvck have you ever done with your life? I'm no fan of Apple or Jobs but damn dude, he's dead. Time to get another hobby.
You're kidding right? Lets do a quick timeline recap of apple:Are you kidding? He didn't do ANY of those things.

Do you feel better now? Maybe you should take a nap now...
Must spread rep...save the outpouring affection for when someone cures AIDS and they die
Manufacturing can be done even in countries with higher environmental and labor standards than the US. Nokia has been doing it for years but they didn't keep up on the product side like Apple and Google. These capital intensive factories are much more efficient than traditional ones with far more automation so obviously there won't be as many jobs especially on the low-end. There will certainly be more US jobs than taking the factory overseas as JK noted...TL;DR- creating manufacturing jobs isn't how america is going to get back on top.
Since we're all about slinging articles around to make our point: http://curiouscapitalist.blogs.time.com/2011/10/07/can-america-compete-without-steve-jobs/
TL;DR- creating manufacturing jobs isn't how america is going to get back on top.
I'm pretty sure I didn't say that. What I was trying to imply is that your argument that Jobs outsourcing manufacturing to China did not make him a "great american businessman" was not true. As was stated in the article- Jobs had the formula to make an American company top dog on the world scene. More people need to follow that example.soooo.... creating US manufacturing jobs is going to hurt us?
taking advantage of mindless mass consumerismI'm pretty sure I didn't say that.

RTFA if you haven't. Apple is doing something right.
