Respensus I respectfully think you're wrong can we leave all this elsewhere? I have a PC but have never trashed Mac or Linux. MS, Google and the worst, Facebook have all done unethical things, nuff said.

Yes, of course. I meant no disrespect and nor did I wish to thrash Apple and Steve Jobs, as I realise other companies are just are bad, if not worse. I just wanted to point out, that the mere fact of him dying shouldn't blind us from the complete facts.

That being said, I'll keep my fingers away from his thread.

My thoughts exactly. But they are not welcomed, experience tells.

Jobs was no saint, but a human. He showed light, and also plenty of shadow - he introduced new handling ergonomcis in cellphones that indeed were visionary, but he also showed new ways to implement and harden monopolic business structures and how to leave customers no choice. He did presentations that many people saw as some of the best entertainment on the planet - but he also was known for being very rude, irascible, arrogant, impatient, excentric, pretentious, bossy. He delivered the show, but beside that opportunity let journalists feel that he thought of them as dirt, treating quite some of them as that.

Not just light or shadow - light AND shadow. I think it does better honour to a dead person to not glorify him, but to see him as what he has been.

Some fools in German newspaper comment sectiosn compare him to Mozart or daVinci. I feel just pity for such commentators. Jobs was a clever businessman and a designer inventing some new looks and handling concepts. That'S it, not more, not less. Put him at rest in peace. But stop glorifying him.

Not a fan of Apple, but he was a innovator/entrepreneur.

Oops, another case of someone posting without reading the thread. We've allready had that discussion.

Not at all. Just pointing it out.

Hey don't take it personally, we all do it from time to time, but we should all try to read the entire thread (the unread messages) before commenting.

It is irritating when others have to read the same questions and comments over and over again even when they have been already addressed in the thread.

Well, I see that the attention whores at Westboro Baptist Church have decided that Jobs' funeral is going to be the site of one of their idiotic demonstrations.

They put out a tweet citing Steve Jobs' lack of religious faith. Ironically, the tweeting was done with an iPhone.

Speaking of irony, anyone else find it ironic that the Wall Street protesters who hate "corporate greed" are some of the first to be mourning the death of Steve Jobs, creator of one of the most evil corporations of all time?
