Well... on one side a brilliant inovator, with the gold finger (anything he touched is gold - apple and pixar). And a very hardworking person, because he risked his live several times for constantly standing on radiation.
On the other side he was a mean tyran. He didnt want to move the apple (assambeling) production to the US, because he would have to give more pay to people. He had billions of money, but he refused to give the poor chinese people more than 100$ payment per month. Alot of the chinese workers did a suicide, then he finnaly raised their payments a little bit. He made people feel bad and made them cry.
Either way... R.I.P.

Well, I've lost a fair share of friends and family to cancer. I wasn't joking about jobs or cancer or even death for that matter. It was a shot at Apple, so take it how you want to.Originally Posted by Moogerfooger:437658

Tyvm for trying but it's the truth Fluff.
Hey guys,
Thanks in advance for keeping the discussion friendly and considerate.
I wanted to post up a video of Steve Jobs speaking to the 2005 Graduating Class at Stanford University.

I remember spending many an hour on the Apple II back in the day. Our family could not afford one ourselves, but one of my close friends had one. We often used it while as his home.
Later in life, I met and chatted with Steve Jobs and experienced his reality distortion field firsthand. He had a way of making you think things were possible when he spoke. He believed in changing the world, not just making incremental improvements. He was passionate and visionary.
Regarding STS, at the time the iPhone launched, smartphones were just 10% of phone sales and were seen as phones for businessmen, not consumers. Spacetime Studios was developing Blackstar for PCs, not phones. The current phone app market did not exist at that time. In fact, apps were seen as a iPhone weakness when it launched, but Apple has turned apps into a major strength. Even if you play the STS games now on Android, arguably you are only able to do so because of Steve Jobs.
He will be missed.
