Re: Steve Jobs

That's right... I can do that, can't I?  Well, I was initially thinking this may be considered politics... but that's a stretch...

Politics --> General

Re: Steve Jobs

he is so much more than dead, he is dead on twitter, while dead on facebook, dead on his blogs, and dead on his email.  Yet at the same time, he is dead to any incoming conference calls.  a few taps on the screen and his followers can find his funeral on googlemaps.  all of that with less effort than living people used to write a letter for snailmail.  not only does death link to all forms of social media and the internet, it is free and too fast to measure.  He's dead, globally, instantly.  Unlike life which had a caloric content and a set pulse rate, death is limitless and comes without a contract.  Death has a potential market of 6 billion people all of whom are unlikely to switch. Just don't all go on death at the same time or you crash the server.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: Steve Jobs

They took our jobs!

Wouldn't be surprised if he's been backed up to a computer like in Mindstar Rising.

Re: Steve Jobs

The economy is so bad that even Apple are losing Jobs.

Your = possessive. As in, "your grammar sucks."
You're = you are. As in, "you're an idiot for not knowing the difference."

Re: Steve Jobs

Baratheon, Steve Jobs is a sociopath and a total dickwad. There is no way someone with his mindset would ever leave the limelight. I for one am happy that he is finally gone.

Yes,Yes,Yes, I'm the one that's been killing all those people, but i'm also the creative force behind Happy Noodle Boy,So forgive me and shut up - Johnny

Re: Steve Jobs

I don't understand why people honour him like a halfgod all of a sudden. He sold good products, though assembled by underpaid exploited people and for too much money.
He was a bussinessman like any other, don't make a saint out of him. Neither Mr. Hennes or Mr. Mauritz will be treated like this when they die..

God: Behold ye angels, I have created the ass.. Throughout the ages to come men and women shall grab hold of these and shout my name...

Yay! We are all poor! tongue In truth i'd have bought an iphone when they introduced them to Verizon if it had 4G LTE connection. It's not worth getting one (on Verizon anyway) with 3G. I figure when my contract runs out in about 10 months they may have introduced a 4G version and i'd go for it i think.

Re: Steve Jobs

well they said on the radio that when he was in college he was experimenting with vegan diets to eliminate his body mucus, so he wouldn't have to shower

so that's impressive

he went crazy

THEN he became a billionaire

Re: Steve Jobs

Haha, he also contributed most of his "out of the box" thinking to LSD use. He wasn't crazy, he was just tripping balls 24/7

Modestus Experitus

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....
