Not really unexpected, was it?
This'll sound harsh but now the questionmark over Jobs is gone, apple don't have any ifs or buts to worry about.
RIP Steve... |

^^ ing harsh. :whip:
As much as I dislike some of the he pulled or draconian approach to number of things, there's a lot to be thankful for. Like it or not, he DID change the world LITERALLY, not figuratively.
What have you done lately, Derpino? |

I bet he owns an iPad, iPhone, and bunch of other apple too.
and if not, I bet he doesn't realize that smartphone he is using is in no small part the way it is BECAUSE of Job's impact.
wait, nvm - we all know he don't need smartphone in mom's basement. |

Should I even dare? IMO, for us musicians, Steve's death is just as important, if not more than Bob Moog's.
Think about it, they both changed the music world drastically.

^sorry. gotta disagree.
Ever since Apple bought out eMagic, they completely butchered Logic, killed Sound Diver, and have you tried making RME Fireface work with Mac?
I would NEVER compare Moog with Jobs. iPad, while an interesting innovation, it is still quite limited for musical application.
The rest - Apple cruised on momentum. I'll give you Garage band, however, the jury is still out whether it is a good thing or bad - especially allowing hipstards to make music. |

| I can see your point, but Apple has contributed to the music scene a lot more than just Logic & the iPad. For starters, it contributed The Macintosh. The Macintosh revolutionized the music industry and it became its workhorse. It wasn't until just recently that PC's caught up to Macs. That's why in the majority of studios you find Macs. And if you look at the DJ game, most of modern day DJ's also use Macs. |

If it wasn't Apple, Commodore would still be the tool of choice. there WERE alternatives.
Moog was THE one. It shaped the sound, industry, music, etc. Take apple away and we'd still arrive to the same point where we are today. Take Moog away and I'm not so sure.
Apple is a decent tool but it's just that. Moog is an instrument with a soul. No computer would ever come close. |

right. umm... logic is TINY compared to what itunes did for music. I work in royalties, I see what iTunes has done past and present for labels that were completely physical prior to 2002. He is one of the main reasons music is consumed legally (and most importantly ethically).
Entertainment industry owes a lot to this man, more positive and industry defining changes than anyone else I can think of.
RIP indeed, a life well lived. |
