Steve Jobs is dead.

The Donationcoder-Steve Jobs song 8)
(Well, we LOVE talking about him, anyway. :P)
Stoic Joker:
My question is, why is it the Steve Wozniak keeps getting shoved into a corner?? He's the one that actually created the launch-worthy Apple II ... Jobs just decided to package it in a smooth plastic shell, because he thought some veg-a-matic he saw at an appliance store looked sexy.
There is nothing negative about saying Jobs was brilliant at marketing, he quite obviously was. Technology innovator ...Meh... Not so much. He was more Billy Mays than Ben Franklin.

Y'know, Ellison, Gates, and Wozniak all have something in common... They didn't have the vision and foresight to have Issey Miyake create 100 black turtleneck sweaters... That must be it.

No, but even with Jobs still alive, you never heard any kind of banter about them like you did for Jobs. -Renegade (October 27, 2011, 01:40 AM)

In the case of Gates, it's probably because that - even though he's done some nasty things, and MS is a big nasty bully - the person Bill Gates seems to have a lot of redeeming qualities... and doesn't think of himself as a super very important demigod.
Larry Ellison? May he suffer in hell. whOracle is right up there with crApple in terms of pure evil.

It's kind of sad that we never focus on the good, but rather on the negative.
