Default [OFFTOPIC] Cheers to Steve Jobs

I know, wrong forum. I'll get no sympathizers here.....regardless, I toast Steve Jobs and his amazing accomplishments in this industry.
As much as I love Android, and wouldn't go back after 3 years of IPhoneness for most of the same reasons/frustrations most of you wouldn't, I don't subscribe to the
I hate Jobs/Apple, type childishness.
Credit where credits due.
Control freak or not, he's THE pioneer in developing an elegant OS that still hasn't been matched, and pushing this technology to the masses..
Cheers Steve. Good luck.

This is of course going to be objected to with venomous fervor....specially since our Samsungs presently under 'attack' lol. Could care less.
Won't be responding.
Just wanted to get this out there.

Don't really have a problem with Jobs, but I don't think there's anything wrong with those that 'hate' apple or Jobs. Not childish at all to be put off by someone/company/something.

Of coursee, all to a certain extent.

A lot of things that a company does can put off a lot of people, and that's certainly valid, and most certainly not "childish" as you put it.

Granted a lot of people on the internet are childish. Still doesn't invalidate other people's opinions.

Except he has good jobs about fonts, none other... That I appriciate. He sucked people for devices that does not worth half for YEARS, just with false advertising and such. It is same with very early macs till today. Yeah it is business but hey, you can't go to otherside with money you know...

And about your Elegant OS, http://www.neowin.net/news/os-x-lion...ating-via-ldap (and again, back to false advertising about elegancy and being cool and all)

Sorry but I hated him since Amiga vs. Mac days, so he can go to hell, see if I care...

Steve Jobs will always be remembered for taking a company from the brink of bankruptcy to one of the most powerful in the world. The iPod and iPhone have forever changed the landscape for media and mobile devices. If it wasn't for him/Apple I'd probably still be using a crackberry. While it's not been explicitly stated, it's a shame that health issues have forced him to step away.

You gotta admire the halo effect that the Apple marketing team created with regards to Apple products

Cheers Steve
