I just gotta say thank you for doing things that no other company would have stopped to do for your consumer. In my mouse, you've made both batteries face the same way. You've replaced the flimsy springy connectors, with solid ones. And I can probably mention 101 different enhancements that blow all other mices away! But its these little things that seem to matter. Perhaps Steve's obsessive compulsive behavior drove the people he worked with crazy! But as a buyer of their products, I should be grateful. I think most companies would have decided not to forego this type of unnecessary update expense, and unprofitable.

Jobs was a fascinating person. And it truly was a great period of time having someone so obsessed with design and aesthetics be in charge of a large influential company. It's something we just don't see often. The Michael Jackson of the tech world. RIP.

He made computing both personal & social through hardware & software; out of the basement and into th living room and beyond.
He's changed the daily lives of nearly all of us.
Was he a perfect man? None of us are, but he was passionate, ambitious and focused on a daily basis which is admirable to say the least.

Good businessman with good taste and a true vision.
There's like 4 in the world.
He knew that life was about more than money, but wasn't afraid of domination.

Honestly I dont miss the guy. I spent $1500 on a laptop where the CD drive will no longer suck in discs, trouble with my A key, it loses connection with my magic mouse constantly and I love my wifi connection when Im more than 10 feet away from it. Awful. I have a Dell XPS that cost me half this and never a single problem with it.

@CygnusZero4
You've made your point clear. You hate Apple, you hate their products, their culture, you hate Steve and everything he stood for, and above all you hate their supporters. You will take any opportunity to point this out and insult anyone who speaks favorably about their company. And rightly so, there are clearly millions and millions of people absolutely fucking brainwashed into buying Apple products despite the fact that they are the worst on the fucking planet and they just copy everyone. Yes, you're right, Dell is the superior brand and that's why they are destroying Apple on all fronts.The best part is that you decided to share your thoughts in this thread. Can't even imagine a better venue. Bravo. Stay classy, and enjoy your XPS.

Good god you can admire the guy but please let's not fucking pander him posthumously. I'll be the first to admit he was a rare breed of businessman who brought fantastic products to market. But do I want to get on my knees and suck his dick now any more than when he was alive? No.
For fucks sake people. You're acting as if you knew him personally. You didn't. You only know him through what was carefully curated media exposure and the products his company released. Now please get off of your fucking high-horses and get back to your daily lives which are probably revolve around using one or more apple products.
RIP Steve Jobs. I'm sorry you had so many idiot fanatics to grovel at your feet. I'm sure you're laughing in your grave while your next of kin continues laughing to the bank.

People are brainwashed. Slap an apple logo on something thats shiny. You know damn well Apple is style over substance. Why the fuck do I need to download apps to do basic shit on my mac when PCs do this stuff easily by default? I dont understand why everythingis so archaic with these things.
My iphone is constantly freezing since I downloaded iOS6, and lets not even talk about all the other problems with it that ppl are posting here. Anyone see topics like this about the droids or whatever else? Nope. Im convinced these products are just average, and not actually the best on the market anymore. You fucking apple tools are all the same. Derp its apple I <3 apple so everything they make must be the best, when in reality theyve been surpassed in every possible way. Noone gives a shit, you can keep overpaying for this shit products if you want, Im bailing now.
Steve was a fucking asshole and everyone knows it, but I respect his business sense. The dude took shit products and figured out if you make them clean and pretty people will buy into it and actually believe they are the best. Great business man, horrible person who was a nasty scumbag to so many people around him and very condescending to people under him.
- awe, sounds like someone reawwy needs a hug :)monospaced
- Pissed off at these fucking garbage products. As I type I cant use my magic mouse. It just loses connection constantly.CygnusZero4
- I fell into the trap and spent 1500 bones on the worst laptop ive ever owned. Have a right to be unhappy.CygnusZero4
- Sorry to hear. At least with your Dell you have the best customer service on the planet.monospaced

in the cloud...
we all inevitably shall die someday. You can escape death. What is amazing about certain people is how they keep things like their cancer a secret. I wonder if they have a human moment to themselves to come to realize that they don't want to spend their last moments on this Earth, having people grieve their final days on this planet. That kind of ending would be very depressing. You'd think that Steve's background in drugs, and residence in California would have made him a legal marijuana smoker. Honestly, how does one get off on listening to Bob Dylan's scratchy, whiney sounds without being high?

Oh let me add some more bullshit to the list. Google Chrome suddenly decided to give me tons of Flash errors, even when I try to download the latest version it has no fucking clue how to display Flash anymore without me pressing a button called run this time. Cute.
And it also recently decided to keep erasing my history on its own. So if I go to Facebook, then go back to it 5 minutes later, it logs me out and doesnt even know ive ever been to that site.
Why doesnt any of this happen on my PC hmm? Because these products are overpriced pieces of shit. Youre paying for a brand, not quality. They dont have better hardware in them any any PC you might buy, its just a different OS. The OS is whats garbage, its whats causing most of my problems on my macbook and my iphone.
I spend about a grand on my XPS 3 years ago, not 1 single problem with it. Believe me if these apple products were actually better I wouldnt be bitching. I have nothing against apple itself, I have problems with shit products. They put out some better devices and Ill gladly buy them but this is just all crap now.
- just because it happens on your Mac doesn't mean it happens on all of them, btwmonospaced
- isn't this a problem of Flash since Flash is what seems to be the problem?omg

Look, we get it. You hate Apple, you've reiterated this over and over in a Steve Job RIP thread. I hear you, if there's a defect in an Apple product, you're screwed. There's absoulutely no place to bring it to get fixed, no sort of staff that can help you, and no customer service to speak of. If only Apple provided warranties and support at the level that Dell does. They leave you high and dry with worthless hardware and that's why they struggle to sell anything. It's pathetic, and it's all Steve's fault that Flash and Chrome don't work on your machine. Yet, you're doing this on your MacBook. Go throw that ugly piece of shit out the window and use your Dell already.
