Inside, I trully am deeply saddened, as much as I disliked his ideology of late. I think he was a brilliant man and sharp business visionary. Heck, I envy the man. However, sad fact of life, as Steve said himself:
No diss meant.
edit: qute above my new sig.
Furry muff fella
I just get fucked off with sad little fannyboys wanking away in their bedroom and getting amusement out of other peoples suffering, same people would be feigning outrage at a racist comment etc.
I barely know who steve jobs is and never owned any apple shit either but think taking the piss out of someone who has just passed away a few hours ago from a horrible illness and suffered shit nobody should have too, dunno if its because he was loaded that people think he's fair game or what, I just find it a bit sick.

People like to be contrarian for the sake of it. This is especially easy and entertaining on the net, where it carries no cost for them. Just keep that in mind and the words here will never ruffle your feathers too much.

I've had three relatives pass from cancer, and each and every one of them made jokes similar to these about themselves. It was encouraged that we do the same. I can speak from experience when I say that just because people joke about it doesn't mean they don't give a shit. Go play somewhere else.

Fair enough comment to be fair mate
Its nothing to do with him though its just general making jokes about someone who has suffered greatly and gone through shit I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, I dunno I just find about as unfunny as you can get and lacking class.

sorry to hear about your relatives pal
I know what your saying, its some peoples way of dealing with shit, but I find it weird how this shit is fine and encouraged almost, yet make a racist comment/joke and your scum etc.
How is making a joke about someones skin colour worse than about someone who is dead, has grieving relatives etc ??? wtf makes no sense to me.
I'll play wherever I want though thanks all the same.

You bring up a gripe about racist comment quite a lot... Hm... let me guess...
You sound like a fella that would like to buy a vowel... :->

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
