solid.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-06-2011, 03:26 AM

I heard they're having trouble finding a grave for him, his coffin is proprietary.

eh, needs some improvement

Mr. Blonde · 10-06-2011, 04:33 AM

Steve Jobs chose to forego a year of treatment in the early 2000's and instead underwent alternative medicine treatments. Pretty dumb, and probably cost him his life, as with his specific kind of pancreatic cancer there is up to an 80% survival rate if caught and treated early.

Woo for cancer: Say it ain't so, Steve! : Respectful Insolence

He was a brilliant businessman and leader, but an Einstein he was not.

Don't you think the inverse is closer to the truth? He isn't really needed in day to day running of the business, but rather sets the overall shape of the company and has his pet projects? He's not an accountant.

What Everyone Is Too Polite to Say About Steve Jobs

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-08-2011, 04:01 PM

finally, seriously, finally.

Saint DH · 10-08-2011, 04:28 PM

So what does this do to his comparability to Einstein?

It clearly makes him less than Jesus.

Cry me a fucking river about most of the stuff in that article. You can't run the most successful company in the world by singing Kumbaya and bringing Johnny over to the side to have a nice chat about why he isn't doing his job. These aren't children he is yelling at, they are adults - Adults he pays a lot of money to deliver a great product. A leader gets results and that's what he got. A leader motivates others to be better and that's what he did. If you feared your job for lack on quality production, I'm sure you'd keep on task and try to make it perfect, too.

Do you know how hard it is to get into the middle bunk on a triple bunkbed? Clearly you do not sir.

I'm making a list of people that would like to give Steve Jobs a meaningful, postmortem deep-throat blow job.

My favorite was

"You've tarnished Apple's reputation," he told them. "You should hate each other for having let each other down."

This seemed like such a stretch on his part ... very Michael Scott thing of him to say.

Mr. Blonde · 10-09-2011, 08:29 PM

F3lix just likes him because he likes to think him and Steve Jobs are kindred spirits.

Which is hilarious.

What the article is describing/you getting a boner over is more akin to a malevolent tyrant or dictator rather than an endearing leader (the best kind of leader) who followers can get behind and aspire to be, other than just looking at them for their "results" (aka products).

Be clear what you're admiring here, f3lix; a leader, or a businessman. I can understand how he's a good businessman, and I can understand how he can seem charismatic with planned graduation speeches. But by all accounts it seems like he was a pretty huge douchebag IRL.

f3lix · 10-09-2011, 09:37 PM

Liberals don't like hard-nosed leaders, which is why liberals don't run successful companies. It's pretty simple - leaders say and do things to get results. Sometimes feelings get hurt - big fucking deal. Grow up, pussy.

Saint DH · 10-09-2011, 09:38 PM

Google is a pretty liberal fucking organization.

f3lix · 10-09-2011, 09:40 PM

Liberally run and run by liberals are not the same thing.

Saint DH · 10-09-2011, 09:42 PM

Google is run by liberals.

(Kind of hope Microsoft and Apple crush it).

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-09-2011, 09:45 PM

What does this have to do with liberals? Just because Jobs shut down Apple's charity programs and never donated to a charity doesn't make him Republican/Conservative.

If anything he was a nutbag liberal. Rather than having the surgury that has like an 80% success rate (wp) for his type of pancreatic cancer he went with "alternative" medicine.

f3lix · 10-09-2011, 09:48 PM

The people who have problems with authoritative leaders are liberal. Look at how the article is written - it's a bunch of whining about being treated fair and nice. Blonde has a problem with it, and I'm pretty sure Repug does, too.
