So annoying. He was a successful businessman. End of. He did not change anything meaningful whatsoever; maybe he changed the "face" of some things, but that's as far as it goes. |
Yep. People worshipping him like he was Jesus is ing annoying me.
The most he can claim to have done is popularize certain technological devices. |

I’m sad that today I’m adding a slide to one of my live presentations, adding Steve Jobs to the list of famous people who died treating terminal diseases with woo rather than with medicine.
Seven or eight years ago, the news broke that Steve Jobs had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but considering it a private matter, he delayed in informing Apple’s board, and Apple’s board delayed in informing the shareholders. So what. The only delay that really mattered was that Steve, it turned out, had been treating his pancreatic cancer with a special diet and other alternative therapies, prescribed by his naturopath.
Most pancreatic cancers are aggressive and always terminal, but Steve was lucky (if you can call it that) and had a rare form called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which is actually quite treatable with excellent survival rates — if caught soon enough. The median survival is about a decade, but it depends on how soon it’s removed surgically. Steve caught his very early, and should have expected to survive much longer than a decade. Unfortunately Steve relied on a naturopathic diet instead of early surgery. There is no evidence that diet has any effect on islet cell carcinoma. As he dieted for nine months, the tumor progressed, and took him from the high end to the low end of the survival rate.
Eventually it became clear to all involved that his alternative therapy wasn’t working, and from then on, by all accounts, Steve aggressively threw money at the best that medical science could offer. But it was too late. He had a Whipple procedure. He had a liver transplant. And then he died, all too young. |
:stongue: that'll learn him. |

You heard it here. Steve Jobs hates children so much that he forces them to work for low wages. Even his own kids.
Even his own kids.
His own.
I bet he jerked off to the sad Sarah McLaughlin puppy commercials too. |

Haha, I was reminded the other day because some dude (called a monologuist, as if that's some 'thing') is going around the world giving presentations about how ed up apple's factories are-- He just did a bunch of shows at the opera house... Apparently Apple's co-founder wept at one of the shows (in the US) :wtf: :wtf: |
