Steve Jobs dies so apple dies then we all work off PCs? Doubt it very much. Ive is the key to Apple and has been for a long time. Their design integrity will not change whatsoever.
- Ive?moldero
- Jonathan Ive, guy who make all the shitDaveO
- No, he's just the guy who makes the products look nice. Has nothing to do with the OS.randommail
- Don't kid yourself.noob12345

Who keeps saying Jonathan Ive will replace him - if he does they are fucked - a product designer at the helm is a stupid idea - business skills would come in handy

Good time for new products announcement!
Plus get ready to buy stocks when its low
Apple has plenty smart ppl in the upper management not too worry
need a new poster boy for their product identity

You gotta have a vision and a business sense to tell a guy like Ive what to design.
This is what made Jobs so unique.. I don't think people even realize what this means.. HP has some slick designs, so do others.. but they have suck management and don't have people who really understand what and how to do things to create this brand recognition and desirability.
The fact is that Jobs smarts to get when to close everything up and what to do next over the long haul is what makes him unique.
There's noone else that can do that in Apple.. they will become just another computer manufacturer once he goes. And will start making stupid shit like "small iphones" or colorful computers and all the same shit they've been doing when Steve was out.
- Dude...give it a restabettertomorrow
- okay..I guess we'll see eventuallyBoz
- Some of HPs stuff looks ok, but it doesn't look quite as refined because cheap materials are used.Amicus
- THe power of Apple is that everything revolves around a consistent high quality and easy to use experience.Amicus

Opinions aside, do you not think this thread's in bad taste? I know everyone's having a joke and that but it's a life at the end of the day.

"The great consumer electronics companies of the past had thousands of products," he said. "We tend to focus much more. People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas."

Here's a thought, can you guys stop dumping on Jobs for a few days and let him die in peace? We know, he wrote that blog post on Flash that hurt your feelings, but cmon, the guy has cancer.

Bit harsh if you ask me. But it does save some time browsing news websites/googleing.

Makes me laugh that you tools dont think a multiple billion dollar company doesn't plan succession.
There will be dozen people who could do his job
- that's what Apple thought from 1984-1993 til Jobs re-entered the companyomg
- So only one guy can run this company...abettertomorrow
- LOL @ only one guy can run this company.. No.. anyone can run Apple. but there's only 1 Jobs.. only 1 man who managed to propel Apple from bankruptcy to having the highest market cap with his plan and vision.. ONLY 1 GUY CAN DO THAT for Apple..and that's him. If it was that easy anyone would have done it before they almost got bankrupted.Boz

he's a man. Not an ideology. Not a stock price. Not a rival operating system. He's a man with a wife, children and friends. He has hopes, dreams, fears, victories and losses like each of you. He is not a faceless commodity to be traded nor is he immortal. Show a little respect for humanity.
