There is a reason why you can't see the sun set in some areas of China. Hint hint: Its their industrial standards.
[QUOTE=sami-elite;32895436]The day he died everyone had to say how incredible he was. Then they found out something they don't like and like the fact he's gone. Just goes to show how badly facepunch bandwagons. [editline]21st October 2011[/editline] If you want you could make anyone look good or bad.[/QUOTE] There's no comparison between Jobs and Ritchie. Dennis was by any measure and objectively better person.
[QUOTE=Eudoxia;32895493]There's no comparison between Jobs and Ritchie. Dennis was by any measure and objectively better person.[/QUOTE] Maybe. I have not experienced these people, and quite frankly i don't care how nice these people are. They gave us something special.
Well to be fair he was actually sort of right, it's not humane or right at all but it's just cheaper to go to China

I'm not a racist, but Obama probably had a voodoo doll of Steve Jobs and struck him down with some needles in the liver. He's a Kenyan after all. I'm not racist.

[quote]The meeting at the Westin San Francisco Airport almost did not occur, the biography reveals. The iconic CEO, notorious for his stubborn personality, [B]initially insisted that he wanted to receive a personal invitation from the president.[/B] He ultimately gave in after maintaining his demand for five days, The Huffington Post reported.[/QUOTE] Wow.
[QUOTE=barttool;32894151]I think with Steve Jobs it's going to happen the opposite thing that happened with MJ When he was alive, everyone hated on him because he was supposedly a paedophile. When he died everyone went circlejerking on how amazing Michael Jackson was When Steve Jobs was alive, everyone loved him because he was a "genius", when he died things like this start popping out and then everyone starts hating on him.[/QUOTE] I never really liked him to begin with, so that's not true to me. I only respected the fact that he was a billionaire. And I liked MJ well before he died.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;32892830]Steve Jobs: Philanthropist and innovator. Steve Jobs: Greedy, egocentric asshole. Steve Jobs: Couldn't possibly have been anything in the middle.[/QUOTE] Well considering he halted ALL of Apple's philanthropy programs I'd say he's the second one
[QUOTE=Sector 7;32893148][url]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/china-business/7773011/A-look-inside-the-Foxconn-suicide-factory.html[/url] Steve Jobs was a terrible person and I'm glad he's dead.[/QUOTE] Way to cherry pick data. The suicide rates for the factory are actually lower than the Chinese average
Fuck'im.
FAR lower actually [url]http://m.zdnet.com/blog/foremski/media-gets-its-facts-wrong-working-at-foxconn-significantly-cuts-suicide-risk/1356[/url]

The more I'm reading about Jobs after his death, the more he sounds like a complete twat.

Both were well known as assholes in the workplace. Jobs wasn't the only one. But it kind of comes with the title of CEO. Not justifying their behavior at all, but just saying. Think of the enormous pressure you have in that position and you'd probably be an asshole too.
[QUOTE=Sexy Eskimo;32895902][IMG]http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3950/330ceqbejg.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Mention negative aspects of one person and positive aspects of another. Very fair.

steve jobs was a better person than anyone posting in this thread, no amount of pseudo intellectual bullshitting will ever change that
He may have been a greedy stuck up asshole with a bad temper, but you have to admit what he did for technology was amazing.
[QUOTE=cloudbuster;32896882]Think of the enormous pressure you have in that position and you'd probably be an asshole too.[/QUOTE] Shitty excuse.
[QUOTE=UprisingUnicorn;32897515]He may have been a greedy stuck up asshole with a bad temper, but you have to admit what he did for technology was amazing.[/QUOTE] He's a mere pawn compared to Dennis Richie. Steve LOVED to bask in the glory of the stage-light for even the smallest things, while Dennis Richie preferred to work behind the scene and actually DO something. Kind of a shame really.

What an asshole. Nothing more needs to be said really.
[QUOTE=UprisingUnicorn;32898618]And look how rich he got from it.[/QUOTE] since when did the ability to profit determine how good of a person you were?
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;32899177]since when did the ability to profit determine how good of a person you were?[/QUOTE] IF anything then the amount of money one earns while not giving any to charity is a clear indicator of being a class-A douchenozzle.
