Pixar has done some great stuff and seeing airheaded and overpaid celebrities relegated to the history book would be a great use of always improving anamation technology.

Jobs did a lot of really neat things but the near worship is a bit much.

“Gates didn’t (doesn’t) have the drive.”

He had different drive, is all. Gates wanted all the money in the world, which he got. Jobs wanted to change the world, which he did. Once you achieve the one, there’s nowhere to go. If you’re the world’s richest man, that’s it. No one cares if you get richer. But if you’re always chasing down the Next Big Thing to further your worldwide Church of Technology, you can always keep growing, which people notice.

Yes, the information on the page is correct, or I wouldn’t have cited it, it also has links to documents saying STEVE JOBS WAS HIV POSITIVE. Here’s another source. http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/230/1232163447241kk7.jpg, since you want to cry about wiki.

Gates & Jobs created entire industries. Industries that transformed society in certain ways. Sometimes for the good; sometimes not.

Jobs had a little more flair. But otherwise they both were/are great men.

I never heard that, do you have some references?

Of course, IamCenny has no references. She just came onto this thread to spout her opinion on Macs and her own body parts.

Pancreatic cancer is more common in HIV patients....it’s called Kaposi’s Sarcoma, also he followed a diet that HIV patients follow. There would be no motivation for this information to be faked, Occham’s Razor. Simplest explanation is usually correct, Steve Jobs most likely had AIDS.

“?????

Oh.....$$$$$”

????

Oh, you were judging Jobs by some standard other than as a businessman. Which is fine, but not what matters to Apple’s stockholders, who would have loved Gates’ $$$$$ during various eras of the company’s history.

I’ve never owned a Mac. Sorry, just another epic fail on your part.

Absolutely LOL. You call that sourced information?

Hilarious.

The author thinks Jobs wasted his life coming up with brilliant technological innovations instead of supporting the Revolution.

Commies aren’t very bright.

epic fail? I posted sources, the ocean is epic, the stars are epic, a purported failure of a single human being is not epic in the slightest.

“Jobs was, as many have observed, an artist”

Relative to Gates, yes. But not really. Wozniak was an artist, of a sort. Jobs was more the visonary/seer/guru.

Why is it that people need to bolster great businessmen, especially, by comparing them to other fields? Why isn’t it enough that Jobs was one of the world’s best CEOs since the ‘70s, instead of an artist?

I also heard that Steve Jobs didn’t drink fluoridated water as it was trying to rob him of his precious bodily fluids!

Here’s more since you seem to think wiki isn’t a source.

You can decide if it’s fake or not, enjoy. BTW shouldn’t you tell your daddy that you’re skipping school to play on his big boy toys all day?

IBTZ.

You already have one post deleted. You are claiming Steve Jobs had AIDS. You are flaming away on other FReepers.

You smell lightning?

Watch out for kitties.

I’m not convinced the author would have written something much difference if the outpouring was about Shuttlesworth.

Steve jobs did not get rich by himself. He shipped his products using roads that we all built. </sarc>

It’s funny how CEO of Apple computer is revered, yet CEO of [any other company] is reviled.
