Ok, understandable the guy died, and yes I do feel sorry for him, but one thing I don't feel sorry for him, is the random bullshit every famous website puts, like "Sleek Design", "Amazing inventions".

What the hell? Sleek Design? The guy failed his ergonomics class and I have a freaking cramp in my hands after using the shitty Mac mouse. ¬¬

Sleek design =/= good design

You can't deny his products look good even if you get cramps from using a mouse.  How does that even happen anyway?  I've used tons of apple mouses (mice?)

I prefer PC and dislike the whole apple=fashion thing but it's hard to argue that the iPod, iPad, macbook, and all variations aren't aesthetically pleasing.  They all have decent software that is easy to use.  His products completely changed the landscape of the market.

You are such a child. And an ass.

RIP Steve.

I feel rather bad for Sony. I think there have been times when Apple just looked at whatever Sony was doing and made a better item before they could. Anyone remember the Walkman?

Steve Jobs gets a nod from me though. I know he wasn't the only working on all the Apple products, so while I know he is an important Symbol (like Bill Gates, Michael Jackson, or the Oxyclean guy), I don't have a personal attachment that makes me feel super sad about his death (this just sounds cold). Apple is going to continue to make crazy stuff, even if it is just Ipods with other devices built in (phones, computers, laserbeams).

But yeah...
RIP Steve Jobs

(This happened RIGHT as Mac started having actual games available for it. He probably knew that, with that fact, his services were no longer needed.)

No, I just really hate Apple's little view of how they make sound everything super great, when it's really not.

Dread, that's how you sell things! :P

Do you hate the ShamWow guy because it's not actually as absorbent as his infomercial would lead you to believe?

Mac (computers) may not be all too fanstastical when compared to a PC, but you can't deny that Ipods were a leap in Portable music technology that nobody could rival for QUITE the while. Ipads were also a big bound for tablet computing (Even if it is just a big Ipod Touch). Apple finds ways to make a damn fine product the first time around that leaves other companies in the dust for quite the long while. Which is to say that their products aren't half bad. Over-hyped? Most definitely. Over-priced? Definitely too rich for my blood. Bad though? Naaaah.

...Also the point of what I said was that you can make fun of Apple all you want, but you are sorta insulting the guy that died less than 24 hours ago. Tooooooo soooon. You have to at least let South Park make jokes about it first before you can safely start throwin' your own material out to the world. ;)

Apple products are not bad to the average consumer and don't see the ins and outs. The part people don't see is the fact that
Apple is evil because they work their workers so hard in their china plants that there has been actual suicides but the media doesn't tell you that unless you were to put actual research into it ie. this link : http://www.newser.com/story/88997/9th-apple-plant-worker-commits-suicide.html.

and Sheeple further more Apple products are evil because they contain a hidden text document that reveals a text document/ records every where you been, Longitude and latitude and anything you have ever said . http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker/#7 there, that backs up my point. so in closing, yeah it may be sad but to such things I say Fuck you steve jobs =/.

Next person that needs to go is Eugenicist  billgates =/ /Greedy david rocafeller =/, Their time will come but thats another light.


-Thanks Murdy for da Sig <3  xD

This is getting funnier the more I read it, but I almost expected more the iDied to be mentioned instead.

Meister's was played off better. ;)

Mine is a little iffy. Especially because every time I look at it, it get's harder to read. I have to start making sentences that are actually legible.

Agent, you'd be hard pressed to reasonably prove anyone was 'evil'.

Agent...

QuoteThere's no evidence that it's being transmitted beyond your device and any machines you sync it with.

Literally the 2nd thing I read.

But it's true that information is the newest form of currency.  Applications for my Android phone are known to keep track of information, you just have to be careful which ones you download.  No big deal to me though. 

Long live Bill Gates, Rockefeller, rich people, and the shadow group that they all oviously belong to! 

(Agent, if there is an illuminati, then we literally know nothing about them.  Quit acting like the truth is on the internet and that you have it.  Quit acting like they would leave little paper clues to lead us towards them like gumshoe detectives.  We all want to feel important, but convincing ourselves that we are in some sort of matrix because our world is so shitty is not the way to do it.)

Agent believes in Illuminati? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, too much Deus Ex, son.
