my feelings about jobs are kind of mixed. this comes pretty close for me to summing up probably the main problem i have with him http://diveintomark.org/archives/2007/10/04/if-wishes-were-iphones

I do love that an allegedly gay man is now CEO of such an enormous company.

for explanation, i turn it over to some dude

i'm done trying to cajole you into posting like the smart, opinionated person i know you are, i know you're dedicated to stupid gifs and youtubes and "looooool" til the end of time, i guess i should just ocnsider a killfile (i usually don't like the idea of a killfile because it seems like it would make threads confusing, but since you never prompt or participate in any real discussion it probably wouldn't make a difference).

Picture of Steve Jobs from today, and ummm he doesn't look good at all http://www.tmz.com/2011/08/26/steve-jobs-apple-photo-resignation-ceo-sick

oh no! poor guy.

:-(

:-\

he looks dressed for the grave

holy crap, that is bad. he didn't look that bad a month ago or whenever the icould thing got announced. not good.

I can't figure out if and when I should sell aapl. I feel like I should have sold at 400, and now this. Obviously not that much is going to change in the short term day to day, but who knows what will happen when he dies. I guess they have a ridiculous amount of cash though.

looks.... fake?

i mean obviously he's sick enough to quit as CEO but that there photo don't really look right

is he wearing a dress

it's like somebody redacted his clothes with #000000

Fuck cancer

My initial thought was that it looks shopped.

my first thought upon hearing of this resignation was that hes prob at deaths door

Not downplaying his situation in any way but the man credited with making technology stylish and desirable is wearing socks and sandals.

socks and birkenstocks

if that's a real picture and he is as sick as he seems I have no doubt he would just want to be physically comfortable at this point. but I think that picture is a little suspicious

pic is more than a little suspicious. it's def. been shopped and i can't figure out why they'd want to do what they did.

Does TMZ normally fake its photos?

haha, he looks like Mr. Burns

he looks... believably horrible, but yeah the source isn't exactly impeccable: just some rando fifth rate tmz site http://pacificcoastnewsonline.celebuzz.com/

New from apple. iCunt

Before Apple, the hard truth was that the "inmates ran the asylum," in that products were typically designed by engineers to satisfy their own needs, as opposed to those of the actual consumers of the products.

Moreover, products were designed and marketed according to their "speeds and feeds," checklists of attributes over well-chiseled, highly-crafted outcomes. And it didn't really matter if at each step along the value chain the consumer was disrespected and disregarded.

Ponder for a moment the predecessor to the Apple Store, CompUSA, and what that experience was like versus the new bar for customer service being set by Apple.

the other thing about that jobs picture that is suspicious is the idea that a frail, on the verge of death steve jobs would just be hanging around outside posing for pictures in his black skirt or w/e -- dude is one of the most secretive guys on the planet
