what happened to bill?

yes, we all miss pawl.

RIP producer of the hit motion action movie picture theater show: Twitter

is that a picture of Carl Sagan ?

> Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died.

As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor Daley, “I’m not glad he’s dead, but I’m glad he’s gone.” Nobody deserves to have to die – not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs’ malign influence on people’s computing. Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence. We can only hope his successors, as they attempt to carry on his legacy, will be less effective.

Pawl's still alive, new-friend. That's the REAL Jordan, before he killed himself.

>>20459509
Pawl obviously died in a double murder-suicide love triangle with Cameron and Nand.

RIP Bill Gates, creator of facebook.

We don't talk about this anymore.

>>20459572
lol'd.

>>20459549
ooo i havent seen the one where his ssn wasnt blacked out

Jobs: not really no... don't even care
Woz: miss having that bro in the ceo chair

I never had a mac, never plan on getting one.

The only apple thing I have is a damn ipod touch 32gb which I bought in the netherlands on a vacation.

And you know what? I don't even use it that much anymore (mostly because I never leave the house, though).

I'm actually celebrating his death OP.

I miss moot

>>20459609
Too bad Woz was never CEO and had nothing to do with Apple beyond the Apple //.

>>20459434
You know what? Yes.

I've never bought an Apple product, but I acknowledged his death... and it felt like a loss. As someone who follows the tech industry like a religion, he represented a big part of my life, whether I liked him or not.

Yes :(

Someone will take his place, hopefully someone with real innovation.

weather you liked him or not, you must admit, he was a heckuva fun fella
the world feels cold and distant without his trolling

I do miss him :(

The world seldom sees a man so driven toward perfection, so committed to excellence in everything he did.

I can only imagine how shitty a company Apple would be if Woz had been in charge all these years. They'd still be selling kit computers made of wood you have to assemble yourself.

I have to admit, it's weird. Every time I see an Apple device I always think of Jobs, now that he's dead it's like the company has lost its face.

So I suppose I do kind of miss him, in a way. I've never really liked him or Apple in general though, so it's weird.

>>20459687
You need to be a moody son of a bitch in order to ship products that will suffice the market.

I mean, that's not the only thing but still.

> mfw people don't understand how much influence Jobs has had on popularizing and simplifying computers

>>20459434

i was actually fed up with his marketing propaganda, bullshit that netbooks didn' work (because they threatened the MacBook bottom line) and Flash sucked (because iPads couldn't handle the processor demands).

then that whole psychotic bullshit about the post PC era because his MacBooks were bottoming out in response to competition from iPad sales (ironic)

and then he died, lol, so long fucking liar

sick of your shitty car salesman mindfuck directed to ppl who don't know any better

>>20460032
>Implying that Flash was ever good
Not that Apple didn't have ulterior motives, but Flash sucks on the desktop and sucks ten times harder on mobile devices. Fuck that shit. If Apple's stance helps kill Flash then I don't give a fuck what their motives are.

>>20460239
running flash right now...runs fine on my notebook computer...so what the problem with it?

>>20460304
It's a CPU whoring ball of security swiss cheese, for starters...

>>20459791
>implying I ever wanted my computers simplified

>>20460333
>Implying you aren't a tiny sliver of the market
You're right, Apple should have always focused on making computers that /g/ would want.

>>20460352
If they had, then they would have been a good company.

>>20460032
>MacBooks were bottoming out in response to competition from iPad sales
What? Mac sales this past quarter were the highest they’ve ever been… What numbers are you looking at?

>>20460375
>They're only a good company if they make stuff that I like!
If they had, they'd either be long gone by now or worth only a tiny, tiny fraction of what they are now. Business 101, kiddo.

i own apple stock, so yes.

>>20460390
false

>>20460405
>They're only a good company if they make stuff that I like!
This is how capitalism and opinion work.
Success != subjective quality.

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:

But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.

>ITT: simplified computers for tech retards

get the fuck off /g/

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;

Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

I hate Microsoft and Apple.
I never wish Jobs to be died, but I'm not sad.

a little bit
it's not like he really did anything more than market shiny toys to retarded macfags
now that he's dead, tim cock markets shiny toys, but not anywhere near as well
plus, i'm seriously fucking sick of hearing about his death and hearing people who just found out who he was on the 5th rant and rave about what an innovator he is

plus, i will never be able to meet him and tell him every stupid fucking thing i hate about him, what he did, and what he stood for to his face

>>20460455
There’s nothing wrong with simplicity.

>>20460546
It allowed retarded people onto the internet in droves.
There's something wrong with that.

The Edison of our time
A great loss for the world

>>20460546

>>20460583
>Jobs
>Edison
Why are you fucking retarded.

>>20460596
>Implying Jobs wasn't a crook and a thief, just like Edison.

>>20460546
try simple-minded, not simplicity

He was a good guy, but damn, I turned on the TV that day and every channel wouldn't stop talking about how he singlehandedly designed/programmed/engineered everything that Apple has ever made.

>>20460606
...I see your point.

>>20460606
Well said young man!

>>20460584
I love you with the force of a thousand suns.

>>20460606
this is why i laugh at all the "Edison of our time" comparisons.

is xerox tesla or something then?

>doesn’t know bout Unix philosophy
>doesn’t know bout KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)
>"Unix is simple. It just takes a genius to understand its simplicity." – Dennis Ritchie

>>20460615
But computers can’t be simple-minded. They don’t have minds.

>>20460708
The KISS acronym varies greatly.
No-one should know about it, period.

>>20460726
OR SO YOU MORTALS THINK

>>20460708

You all know this is the end of Apple, right? It'll be gone in 5 years at most.

>>20459687
What's stopping them from having been out there while Jobs was out there?

>>20460774
No shit.
