Steve Jobs

It's a dreadfull way to die, poor sod.  Apple products are nice looking and has a nice OS, but Apple only design the product (many British designers infact) and the OS.  They are made in the exact same Foxconn factory as all the other cheap products.

Steve was without doubt the untouchable hype machine, as Apple don't design technology, they design their products around existing technology to fit in nice looking boxes.

Amazing even in an RIP thread people have to slate Apple, personally i love all my Apple products & will do for a long time. Thanks Steve Jobs & RIP

The iPod clearly changed the way people listened to music.  It opened up the market for everyone to have an mp3 player, and helped pave the way to digital downloads.

erm... why do you think?? 

well if people like you and the other dude think apple should design its products to last 50 years and be up dated as time goes on, why can't companies like VW build a car to last that long and be serviced to last this long ?

the point i was making is this.. his reply was full of load of ball bags (IMO)

who says they cant??  my point was simply "why do YOU think they do not?"

I know why they don't, i know why apple don't and i know why every company be it automotive, mobile phone or bloody vacuum cleaners don't...

Basically, why say that sh!t about apple when it applies to any company??.. if people don't like apple thats fine but saying stuff like that was  just daft

I dont think his gripe was just with apple... but he made a point and it was a valid one.

I dont own anything by apple, i dont dislike apple, I just dislike all the silly cnuts that think the apple products they own are better than everyone elses and anyone that doesnt have the latest ipoo is not cool.

... back on topic now would be good

I'm not Apple's biggest fan as you all know, but their hardware excellent, sexy and even I like it.

GTI_Jamo, Let's not drag this thread down, the man is dead respect him and what he has done, love him or hate him. I will also admit he has had a profound effect on modern technology, would Sir Berners-Lee have created the first web server if it weren't for the NeXTcube that Steve and co. at NeXT created? Would Microsoft have done the original Windows that lead to what most people use now, if it weren't for Apple inviting the Microsoft execs over and showing them what they had stole from Xerox ?

There is a lot of stuff Apple took inspiration from, then created it in their own unique style that has lead to others pushing the boundaries.

Not looking to drag the thread down, just offering my opinion for all its worth. Not much here anyway lol!!

An opinon some what slating his company in a condolence thread of a dead man...sorry to put it blunt but that's how it is. Save it for another thread and have some respect.

[bobbarley]

Agreed. Have some respect, the guy has passed on. Like it or not he was an inspiration. Take any Apple hating keyboard warrior tactics to another thread.

Eh? he was on about Apple 

You write that as tho im saying people who dont have apple products are not cool ? infact where as aanyone put that ?
If you have issues like that, then thats down to you, and seen as you dont own any apple products i dont really see how you can argue if the products are actually no better than any other manufacturer (is thatr what you are saying ?).. I dont own iPods, or iPads because i have no need for them and would never own anything to look cool as you say haha. but i do own a iPhone and its been the best phone i had ever and bulit better than any others iv seen that are on the market at present. Also has the best customer service. these are all my personal opinions BTW.

As for computers. I got my old powerbook and new MacBook Pro not for the looks at all. But for the sheer reliability and straight up performance it offers. it is a must for me (and 99% of any other DJ / Producer)  it is the industry standard. i dont expect you to understand that tho and i do understand what you mean to a extent.. but what you say is not the case for everybody.

not looking to argue with you. just wanted to get that point accross
