You are wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implementation

Implementation is the realization of an application, or execution of a plan, idea, model, design, specification, standard, algorithm, or policy.

Notice the "of". Without the application, plan, idea, model, design, specification, standard, algorithm, or policy, you have nothing.
It is always an implementation of something. Alky had no "of something."

Watch:

You will neither sell to your client nor up-sell them on the implementation unless they are in Mexico doing a Pony Show.


First part of the neither/nor:

You will neither sell to your client. --->
You will not sell to your client.

Now, it doesn't say what I won't sell, so the negation is on the verb.

You will sell not.

So, I will sell not.

Now the second half:

Nor up-sell them on the implementation. (prep phrase is dropped)
So, I will not up-sell them on the implementation.

The implementation of what?

The first half is just "sell not." There's no object of implementation there.
"I will neither sell nor up-sell |the implementation|" is not a complete thought. |The implementation| is just hanging there.

Whatever it was that alky was talking about selling to the customer.

There was nothing there. The first half negated the verb, there was no object.
Verbs can be negated. You can have the absence of an action. This is different than the specific absence of an action in relation to an object.

1. "I did not walk."
2. "I did not walk to the store."

(2) allows that I walked to my car. (1) does not, as it negates that I walked at all.

"Implementation" specifically needs an object implemented. Alky had none.

(electronics) A result of implementing something; a finished product, system or device.
His implementation works, but it needs some fine-tuning.

Jesus, you really have difficulties with the word "of", don't you?

I said before that implementation needed an object implemented. Implementing something is implementing something. It is not implementing.... (blank).

I love the anti-apple people who just can't see the forest from the trees.

Go back 5 years ago. Look at the smartphone market. Now go find any smartphone that I could hand to a 2 or 3 year old and they just intuitively know how to use?

Yeah, it didn't exist. The iphone and ipad made the use of phones and tablets dead simple almost anyone can understand. My 3 year old son knows how to use my ipad. He loves navigating around in the PBS Kids app. It just makes sense. I knew when my son could use it, my 60 year old technically illiterate mother could use it too.

The sad part is that on a "tech" forum like this, it is a badge of honor to know how to use a convoluted horribly designed system.

Apple brought so much power to the average person. Steve Jobs was a visionary. He saw crappy implementations and figured out how to make a GREAT product.

The one in his hospital gown being helped to walk?

Why would you want that?

Anyway Google image search "Steve jobs last photo" it's the first result.

Being helped to stand.

I came across this thread and noticed that the picture was gone. I think TMZ was the original source, so I wonder if they were pressured to remove it? I personally thought it was a poor choice to publish that in the first place.
