Steve Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple - Polidicks

Thank the lord. I hope the next CEO is a fucking retard and destroys the company. Thus ending the apple monopoly, along with it's douchebaggy users. *The dumb Vote you see below is by apple fanboy*

Wow, thought this was hoax when I heard about it first..

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;31926145]I am still confused why people think apple is in any way a monopoly[/QUOTE]A monopoly prevents competition, Apple has a rich competition, especially when they have under 20% of the market share.

Fun fact: Even many of Apple's most loyal followers are pissed off with their excessive lawsuits [url=http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1217557]Read the comments[/url]

Go the way of Jack Layton, Steve! But make sure your death is waaay more painful.

[QUOTE=RoflKawpter;31926245]Go the way of Jack Layton, Steve!

It's just as stupid if someone were to say "I hope somebody tortures notch until he dies because I don't like minecraft."

[QUOTE=RoflKawpter;31926245]Go the way of Jack Layton, Steve! But make sure your death is waaay more painful.[/QUOTE] it's shocking that people dislike a company so much that they're wishing a dude who's probably dying of pancreatic cancer will die an even worse death

[QUOTE=Zeke129;31926270]Yeah Steve Jobs get PROSTATE CANCER grr I hate you so much you make phones I don't use grr[/QUOTE]You've totally missed the point regarding Apple's corruption.

Apple is worth more money than the United states HAS. And THAT is wrong, and by my standards, a monopoly.

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;31926145]I am still confused as to why people think apple is in any way a monopoly[/QUOTE] Want to use OSX? Apple hardware only. Want to use Windows? Any hardware ever. Problem is any non-geek customer wants OSX 100% of the time over Windows. Mac sales are the highest they've ever been. It's the same BS for consoles. We want the games, not the outdated toasters and their microwave OS's. Oh and iOS has tons of exclusive game apps, because iphones are all the same (Most 3D games are iphone 4 only) so Android is shafted.

Nice to know* that a majority of FPers hate Apple so much that they would wish death on the CEO. [sub][b]*[/b]: Sarcastic remark[/sub]

They may not have a consumer level monopoly. Yet they are monopolizing the software market for smartphones.

I always suspected you never read threads and just 'predict' what the comments are but this just proved it.

Why is the new CEO old, if this keeps going on they will never have a steady CEO.

[QUOTE=smurfy;31926754]That was only briefly because of the debt ceiling crisis[/QUOTE] Granted. Lets move on towards the effects it has had on consumers though. Apple has lowered the bar of intellect required so low, that end users of apple no longer develope any sort of techincal savvyness. Not only does this effect the consumer base, but it is reflected by it's competitors attempts at mimicking apple. Windows is a good example. Windows 8 will be more idiot friendly, and in the process restrictive to the advanced users than ever because apple has made it the cool thing to be totally retarded when it comes to computers. That is my personal vendetta against apple though.

[QUOTE=Sanius;31926979]FP is full of anti-Apple people.[/QUOTE] Well appearantly not. That comment and that one in the 2nd page had swarms of dumbs. People just dislike Snobby Mac owners. Get over it, you exaggerated it to no end.

Deriving, and inspired by the board game 'Monopoly' In which the player that owns the monopoly in the board game, tends to have all of the money, and is getting X amount of money per turn from every other player. So suck on that. Edit: What does learning basic US history have to do with learning the definition of a word anyway? Idiot argument is idiotic.
