So does this mean I get to take the credit when Brotherman wins the best thread title of the month? :eager:

Yes, nothing says butthurt like fleeing a board in tears then sneaking back to shitpoast before running away again laughing at a dipshit wanna-be skeptic.

What Everyone Is Too Polite to Say About Steve Jobs

Glad to see you're still a whiny little bitch with the intellectual capacity amd emotional maturity of a small toddler. Nothing spells lolbertarian like that combination.

I have several criticisms, like his design ideology of all-in-one systems with little or no expandability. The original 128K Macintosh had no expandability, which meant that you could not put in additional RAM. I bought an iMac though I would have preferred a minitower, for instance. He's also made other design flubs.

He could also be a major-league rear hole, vilifying and insulting at length. There are more diplomatic ways of saying that something is a horrible idea than what he often did.

He also was totally uncharitable, never giving money himself, and shutting down Apple's charitable-donations program when he took over. He even refused to acknowledge that he was the father of his illegitimate daughter, and her mother had to live off of welfare for a while. But his successors have been thinking differently from him, and restarting it.

Some of his artistic ideas were duds, it must be said. He rejected black lines between the stripes of the Rainbow Apple logo, despite concerns that the boundaries would not print properly. He also wanted the NeXT cubes to be as cubical as possible, without a 1-mm taper to make them easy to remove from their molds. The original iMac's hockey-puck mouse was not a very great idea, and the PowerMac G4 Cube was a flop.

On the plus side, Steve Jobs recognized that to be useful for most people, computers have to be simple to use. The original Macintosh had no command line, and Apple's developer-support team twisted arms rather hard to get developers to follow some shared user-interface conventions.

The idea of writing as an art form he got from a calligraphy class he once took in college, and that is why the original Macintosh had different fonts and styles.

Also, when he took over Apple again, he shut down a lot of stuff and drastically simplified Apple's product line. He introduced the iMac, a nice all-in-one. But gone were Mac clones, OpenDoc, QuickDraw GX, QuickDraw 3D, the Newton PDA, etc. -- stuff that wasn't doing very well. He also solved Apple's OS problem by bringing NeXTStep with him -- that's what OSX essentially is.

The original iMac also lacked a floppy drive and ADB ports for keyboards and mice. ADB was Apple-only, which limited Mac users' options. Instead, SJ used USB, which did much the same thing, but which was an open standard. An Intel executive supposedly called SJ to thank him for using USB and creating a big market for it. PeeCee makers had not been very interested in USB; they seemed content with PS2 and the like.

As someone who knew Jobs only through being a Mac fan I have a hard time separating how much he worked on each project from others around him (I know some were almost personal projects while others he just put his stamp on). It's part of the reason I want to read his Biography.

lisarea · #45 10-11-2011, 09:46 PM

I've never understood the appeal of Apple products, but like the Intel person, I always appreciated that Apple could kickstart adoption by making unfamiliar technologies familiar.

So like, now I'm only going to have to wait fifty years for an acceptable tablet instead of a hundred.
