God bless you up in heaven you beautiful beautiful man

Btw yes I'm a hardcore Apple fanboy. If every appliance in my house was Apple brand, I'd go for that

Yes, he was very innovative when it came to tricking people into paying ridiculous amounts of money for mediocre technology.

That's it.

influencing culture is innovative in itself. despite your raging fanboy ignorance, its still laughably naive to claim otherwise.

Agreed, he was a genius! Respect.

Ipods have always been my music player of choice, that's about it. R.I.P

I used to not like him one bit, but just recently (and by recently, I mean the past month or 2,) I have began to appreciate him for all that he's done. Him dying is very sad. R.I.P Steve Jobs. Technology wouldn't be the same without him.

Many of my friends have told me that my reaction to Steve Jobs' death was "completely inappropriate".

I think they just don't like my dancing.

Wait, now I'm trolling? :rolleyes:

There is nothing outlandish about expressing my views about Steve Jobs in a thread about Steve Jobs. Stop acting like I killed your mother.

Your views are objectively wrong :oneeye:
No, they really aren't.

Apple computers are overpriced and mediocre.
iphones are overpriced and mediocre.
ipads are overpriced and mediocre.
MAC OS is just...just terrible.
itunes is one of the worst programs I have ever had the displeasure of having on my hard drive.

The only decent piece of technology that came from Apple was the Ipod, and there is absolutely nothing special about it. At all.

As for whether something influencing culture makes it innovative.... LOL please.
Countless things influence culture that are not innovative at all.

The iPod sucks. The only reason people bought it was because their friends had it and their parent's were willing to spend that kind of money for it. No where near decent. Apple doesn't matter if they are overpriced and mediocre, there will always be some fool willing to spend money on like it like the next fool that decides they need to switch to a newer phone often.

Computers have always been overpriced and mediocre. Windows computers suck also. Linux sucks. Ubuntu sucks. They all suck.

You guys don't like OSX because it's bad for gaming

But for other purposes it's perfect. I have this friend who's an artist who tells me that OSX is amazing for that or something

Yeah I mean, the only reason I think it's decent is because I don't really look for much in a MP3 player. Definitely overpriced and overrated though.

I have seen a lot of videos referring to art, such as tutorials, mostly on OSX.

A lot of music producers (not necessarily big name ones) use OSX too...the ones I can think of off the top of my head are C418 (Minecraft), and Jonathan Coulton (Portal music)

Hitler could've done the same. Jobs had designs for the iPhone severely early, he just didn't have the tech to do it. Hitler just did it with his words.

Nintendo isn't innovative because Wii games suck. Electric cars aren't innovative because they aren't fast enough. And Redbox has such mediocre selection, no innovation over Blockbuster at all! And totes agreed about the ipod, not special at all. why did they even release that with so many other superior mp3 players on the market in 2001? :reverse:

Wow, soon after he stepped down he died? Man, may that man rest in peace for creating such inovational products.
