Dudes living in their parents house are so angry. One day you will be on your own and perhaps able to afford superior apple products.

Everyone realizes that it's possible to disagree with something Apple-related without being an "Apple hater," right?

lies you just hate steve jobs because he was gay.

edit: that could be considered offensive to gay people, sorry.

i meant 'you just hate him because he was a cocksucking asshole.'

Meanwhile, nobody outside of the programming world knows who in the hell Dennis Ritchie was... even though the stuff that HE invented (C and UNIX) are used in practically every computer, tablet, server, smartphone, and set-top device on the planet. Grr.

I guess that the secret to fame is to make pretty shiny electronic devices that are so simple to use that even a reporter can understand them.

DMR didn't want jobs-level fame. He was private and reserved http://www.informationweek.com/news/development/c/231900773

However, I'm fascinated by how few people here on AT know anything about DMR. Even though he was not well known in the world at large, he is legend in programming.

No need to compare Jobs and Ritchie. Two different animals. Happy Steve Jobs day.

I don't know of any CEO that deserves his own Holiday, even if it is just state-wide. He ran a business, and it wasn't even a very charitable one at that.

He did more than run a business. That's the problem with many of the haters. Everyday, you use something that was influenced by him.

What more did he do then? Every day I use things that were influenced by dozens of individuals. Steve was influenced by other people.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this subject is retarded.

If Steve Jobs "deserves" a day in Californistan then what about all those more deserving people who REALLY did something important?

It's funny how if you don't agree with something (or someone) then you're a "hater". I never hated Jobs I just think this is all so pathetic.

Take an Apple fanboy/girl, put them back in the '70s and see how long they would survive without their toys ...

"Did" innovations? Really?

I'm not the one that made it, and yes the grammar sucks, but I think it proves a point.

Also, don't get me wrong, I don't like Apple products but I don't hate them. I think Jobs was one hell of a salesman. I just think the SJ worship is a little too much.

I wish you would with all your racist and anti-homosexual bullshit.

Yeah, I notice the anti gay stuff just rolls out of the guy's mouth pretty easily, either he's a teenager or got some sexual preference issues...

Must really piss him off to know Tim Cook is gay, just imagine, brblx, a millionaire beautiful being...

lol, you both seem to think i give a shit if he's gay. that has nothing to do with him being a piece of shit beautiful being.

and no, he was not actually constructed of feces. at least, it was never proven.
