TMZ Posts First Picture Of Steve Jobs After Resignation
Just released from TMZ. Our thoughts are with Steve.
And for anyone who is still unfamiliar with the man behind the legend, read the following Playboy interview with Jobs from 1985: the visionary brilliance oozes with every word he utters. Yet the one comment our government may want to heed very carefully is the following brilliant encapsulation of our economic quandary: "I'm convinced that to give away a dollar effectively is harder than to make a dollar." And therein lies the rub.

Good luck Steve.
Wishing you all the very best!
I wish I had got to know Steve Jobs in real life.
If you had, he might have cheated you:
http://digital-lifestyles.info/2006/10/27/woz-spills-the-beans-on-apple/
He is a sociopath. Get over it.
I'll put this in context- people like Steve Jobs, Phil Knight, that use slave labor, they are neo nazis. For a few billion dollars more (as if billions aren't enough) Jobs built an empire of concentration camps. Will Saint Peter ask Steve for a cool million to get into heaven? Did all the money he made help him defy death? Nope and nope.
Has Steve in his last days admitted he perpetuated the neo slave labor trade of NAFTA? Has he admitted to being an architect of this New World Order? Nope, nope. When it is all said and done, Steve Jobs is just a corporate whore.
And I really do not need to wish him ill, because he already rots in perpetual hell. Everyone of us is full aware of our actions. Steve knows that people in his sweatshops commit suicide by jumping from the rafters instead of working for him. Steve knows he will never get to the pearly gates, yet he does not act like he cares. Jobs is a sick fuck if there ever was one.
Do you own a computer? Cell phone? TV? Furniture? Clothes? Shoes?
If you do, YOU are just as much part of the problem that you discuss.....................I bet you 95% of the shi* you own is from cheap, foreign labor. And how dare you question whether or not Steve Jobs will go to heaven! Judge not, lest ye be judged..................
Your Ad hominem attack would work if I too ran corporate slave labor camps. I don't run any sweatshops. Move along.
Ahhh, young Grasshopper, but you *do* run them. Without your dollars supporting the sales, they would go away. You, whether you admit it or not, are part of the problem - just as much as the folks who own said "corporate slave labor camps".
They would not exist without loyal, braindead customers-in-denial, very much like yourself.
Look, I have never spent dollars on an apple product. And when shit hits the fan, I will happily be without technology and corporations. Don't act like you know, when you don't. It makes you look foolish.
Narrator: Oh, yeah, Chloe... Chloe looked the way Meryl Streep's skeleton would look if you made it smile and walk around the party being extra nice to everybody.
Chloe: Well, I'm still here. But I don't know for how long. That's as much certainty as anyone can give me. But I've got some good news: I no longer have any fear of death. But... I am in a pretty lonely place. No one will have sex with me. I'm so close to the end, and all I want is to get laid for the last time. I have pornographic movies in my apartment, and lubricants, and amyl nitrite...
[the group leader takes the mic]
Group Leader: Thank you, Chloe... everyone, let's thank Chloe.
Thank you Steve.
Love it! "Blade Runner" is imo the best of RS. RE Jobs - he/Apple insists on having your soc sec number if you want to have one of their IPhones - and on monitoring you wherever you are - just like google and facebook and all the other "brave new world" socalled "tech" companies (the two latter are nothing but glorified ad agencies).
What do you call such control-freak-ness - in political terms?
Collectivism? Fascism? Corporatism? Big Brother'ism? Militarism?
Worship or honor or submit to or celebrate that?
Not really. The only glorious thing Jobs has done is insist on supreme hardware design. And that is good.
Everything else is subject to moral judgement.
It's the data itself that is dangerous... even without the intention of the collector to utilize it for improper means. So long as the information exists, it is dangerous. At some point, humans will be impotent to defend against targeted marketing campaigns... we like to think of ourselves as unique snowflakes, but we probably don't even know ourselves as well as our credit card companies do... At some point, that little spec in our daily lives that some may consider free will, shall be overcome by the knowledge (held by others) of all the inputs to get us to that moment... and from those inputs, our decision will be calculated with near certainty.
In the end, I think that curiosity is not remotely a sufficient justification for the collection and centralization of the information.
Mr Hendrix
Let me guess, you're a libertarian? I'm not sure what gave it away first, your tasteless rage or your stupidyteeee. Anyhow, your rage is so fitting... Apple is the ultra-modern, progressive, high tech company which is catapulting media, communication and personal computers into the future, while libertarians are the simple-minded, ultra-weirdos trying to pull everyone back into the 1800's. Your anger is predictable and understandable....
....and so is your ignorance. This is a perfect example of libertarian hypocrisy. Here you are, raging against Apple for pursuing cheap labor in an environment with no enforceable minimum wage, no OSHA, no Department of Labor, no collective bargaining, no pesky labor laws, nothing to protect the worker, etc. etc. etc. This is the "free-market," darwinistic utopia that idiotic, Gunsmoke libertarians dream about. Totally free markets devoid of government regulations are extremely favorable for corporations, and one of the most oppressive environments imaginable for workers. As a libertarian, why would you criticize Apple for exporting their labor to an environment free of government regulations? I mean, seriously, they're practicing what you preach.
Yet another perfect example of libertarian ignorance and hypocrisy. How do you like them apples?
You are a bitch. Better yet, you are my bitch. Let me explain, etc, etc.....
Fuck your judgements. I think that unions should begin anew. The union is the power of the people. Have at it!
The problem is that Jobs used and abused the rule of the corporate establishment. How dare you try and castigate the two! Who do you think you are to seperate laws and rules! Bring your A game to this board! Or bring nothing at all!
Jobs used the corporate rules to finance his system, at the betterment of no one but himself! And in fact, people now KILL themsilves because they are forced to work jobs in sweatshops or starve. Do you know this pain? Do you know this hunger?
How dare you judge me? How dare you judge anyonne? Get off your high horse and read a book, fuckup.
*LOL*
THAT'S YOUR RESPONSE??
??
Had I known I was debating Tarzan, i would have just thrown a banana at you.
<throws banana>
GO FETCH!
I am not a libertarian. I am not a Dem, nor a Repub, I believe that we can find our society without restrictions such as what Hegelian politics dictates to us. Have you ever read a book? Go read a book.
I was expecting you to blame Steve Jobs health on Libertarians but I was pleasantly surprised.
Speaking of responses, I keep asking you to comment on insigtful things you said earlier this year and last year but all I get is the sound of crickets.

Are you or are you not Red Neck Repugnicant?
Your ignorance of facts is no excuse. Unions are a racket. Like many other social structures. Are you a union leader? Yes, unions are good when you are the one collecting fees from the sheep. Let them think it's for their "common good". When TSHTF, they are left to hang while the billionaire who embezzled them laughs all the way to the bank.
Yet you find it perfectly fine to diagnose, judge and sentence someone else. By the way, since you claim he is a sociopath, why do you advocate unions? It is a clear fact that 99% of union leaders are sociopaths! And the majority of union members are sociopaths too! They care not for anyone who does not belong to the union!
I could understand the envy/hate if you were Jean Louis Gassee.
Did you just attempt to imply that China is a Libertarian's idea of a free market utopia?
You lose, other guy wins.
I do not own an Apple product. I find them to be overpriced tinker toys that offer little in return. They are stupid little gadgets basically. Even their OS is FreeBsd Unix with a pretty interface stuck on top. Whether we like it or not, this type of hype is called innovation by today's shallow society.
I am certain that Foxconn is a sweat shop.
That being said, there is a time place for everything. The man is sick. I say we wish him the best and leave him be.
My 2 cents.
Look fuck tard sausage swallower, most of the people here would piss on Steve Jobs and all the other corporate CEO assholes. But we can't. We were BORN into a system run by corporations and their corrupt politicians. It's not a choice. If there was choice, all these mega corporations would burn.
You brain dead arguments won't wash here. Actual smart people come here occasionally and USE LOGIC.
But logic is not everything. Human sympathy has its place too. Including sympathy for a dying man, just because he is a man.
fuck tard sausage swallower
I'm buying the domain for that right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Your assertion that anyone who owns a computer is part of "the problem" is certainly a foolish statement.
Apple's cost on an iPad is something like $50 and it retails for what, $700? There's plenty of room in there to spend a little more on the labor, maybe even build the stuff in the USA. However, Apple chose not to do that. The consumer is not responsible for the unbridled greed in the corporate board room. However, when a company has an image of being "new age" and such but really isn't, then it is deceptive. There's a scene in the new version of "Tron" where the corporate leader lays out the business model to take over all operating systems or something like that. My kid thought it was a model of Bill Gates. I sugested it was more like Steve Jobs. Maybe someone here can post a link to that scene.
Anyway...... build a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door.
Probably more relevant than a quote from a movie
A CEO's job is to make money for their stockholders, period, Jobs has done that and created innovative products that people want to buy. It's not his job to be chief social engineer, political manipulator, or to change the world.
A gun's job is to fire bullets. It is a machine it doesn't think, feel or make judgements. It simply does.
A CEO is a human being... In theory.
Stop with the heaven and hell shit. That comes from the same book that claims snakes can talk and men live inside whales. Now how rational is that?
The point is that heaven and hell exist here and now, so Jobs has to face reality, here and now. Can he line his soul up because he made millions? Will that save him?
here is something that will fuck with your brain... the last thought you ever have will last for eternity...you will never know when it finishes...
this is where i believe the concept of heaven and hell came from. the ever lasting thought. If you are 'happy' with 'pure' thought then that will be you quoted heaven..
If your riddled with guilt...then you will be in hell forever (in your own frame of time)
However...its all depending on perspective...and how you view yourself...
Steve jobs is probably deluded that he has graced us with his genius...which is true in a way...and will die being very happy with himself...in heaven technically
Thanks for listening
then again, he will probably go to one of his sweat shops in china and pick a suitable donor to replace his vital organs...dont act like you dont believe that this shit happens...

Don't blame a guy for playing by the rules he had nothing to do with setting up. Apple still employs tens of thousands in the USA.
Fuck your pity party. Don't blame the NWO for stealing fredom and taking everyone's wealth while using slave labor to bankroll it? Yeah right.
let them have mr. hendrix. mr. jobs is just another ass that would step on their own grandmother for another dollar. mr. jobs may be very brillant...however an ass is just an ass.
Jobs doesn't look to good in that black dress, but I agree that he is an evil genius. Apple products are very innovative and stylish, but the Foxconn Chinese slave labor camps they are made in are pure globalist evil. Given the premium Apple gets for their products, they could have set up production in the United States and still made a ton of money.
At least Henry Ford was willing to pay his workers enough to afford the products they were producing (plus Fords were made in America), the same can't be said for Apple's Chinese slaves.
The thing that sticks in my mind is that the company has no debt. Even Microsoft and other so-called successful companies have some debt. Either for "tax"" reasons or other. Apple has no debt and this world demands debt to function, lest you not be a slave to the masters. The Tsars learned that the hard way. And Mr. Jobs is what, 56 years old? And with the best medical treatment at his becon command he withers and will from the looks of it die. I've seen this before. And I truely wish the very best for him because I am a lover of Apple products and innovation perpetuated by this man. So why should he receive this end? Is this just fate, or exposure to something toxic 40 some odd years ago in that garage, or something esle? Just wondering.
Why should Jobs or I care about NAFTA. I don't believe that we as Americans should have a better life than 90% of the other humans born on this planet. If you do, great. But one can look at the jobs being offshored as the first step to China or whevever starting on a run to growth for their people.
Look if the ideal of America is to spread democracy and freedom (and I don't disagree that the ideal of America is very different than the reality of America) then this should be considered good for China and the world. Your actions and beliefs are selfish in nature in that you wish to keep the Euro and Western centric belief that we are the masters of the world and we can take/trade/borrow/steal whatever we want so we can become fat pigs at the expense of the world.
Look Jobs is no saint but he has need to keep you in a fat and lazy job. Being born in the United States meant you've already won the lottery once and yet you want to keep stepping on the necks of unknowns in other countries so you can watch your Cowboys on your DirectTV where the world tries to find water and feed their family. If you care about humanity you will support more policies like NAFTA as while your income will come down those in the third world should come up and that means they get to enjoy luxuries like a washing machine and electricity.
Steve Jobs was a pioneer who changed the world. Capitalist-hating socialist elites like yourself dream of a world where governments determine who gets what and how much, regardless of how hard you work or what you create to make society a better place. For you, everyone that is poor is that way because the rich use and abuse them. For you, to be a victim is more admirable than taking chances like Steve Jobs did, to create something nooneelse could create. For you, mediocrity is much preferred to excellence because you'll never achieve it. For an idealogue like yourself, you believe the rich get richer and the poor get poorer because the government isn't doing a good enough job of redistributing the wealth, no matter how much welfare, foodstamps and subsidies are given out.
180 degrees away from reality you are. Do you believe Mr. Jobs got into the position of power within the EE some other way than by assuming a role they had for him?
By assuming that "star chambered role" he gave up his soul and it doth rot from within. This is why in his time of trial he finds his way not to fruits and vegetables, but to needles and knives.
Capitalist-hating? There are none. There is only a collection of two scared little men who ask you in a back room if you want to be a "star." If so, you sign the contract and your merry life begins right there as they unzip and you suck off.
Bought and paid for. No innovation, just more pablum from the EE.
Just more children, the seed of our loins, to be burned in the atomic fire of the Demon Moloch.
Clue one you may have, and angry you are, but clue next one you need to see the larger picture. Me too. always.
What the fuck is this nonsensical drivel? Sounds like the ravings of a syphillitic mind
Tis true then to give away a dollar is indeed harder than making one. Obviously no one wishes what he has had to endure on anyone. Of course no one would force such a disease on another either. To do that is criminal indeed.
We don't even have capitalism fuck face 454. If you weren't so ignorant, you'd realize corporations rule this world with the help of their paid politicians and media. We have socialism for the corporations and capitalism for the little people.
But you go ahead and keep repeating what you were told by your gov provided education.
"Steve Jobs changed the world". Making toys or lots of money isn't a great accomplishment. Jobs will be forgotten in a few years. Except maybe in the minds of a few fan boys.
Incorrect. Steve Jobs was a brilliant marketer taking existing technologies, repackaging, reformating, regurgitating into trendy products which kids love at near zero cost hiring 400,000 Chinese at foxconn china at $100/month.
To call him a pioneer or innovator is like calling Bill Gates one
Well if we don't want slave labor in this world perhaps we should prepare to buy apple products for 5 times the price or better solution only buy stuff that is made in amercia in that way you will be 100% sure there is no slave labor no pun intended.. You see there is always two side of the coin, the economic system is broken. Manufacturers looks for the cheapest labor all over the world (thank you globalization) to offer us the cheapest possible crappy products we can buy. We can blame NAFTA, GLOBALIZATION, NWO, CORPORATISM and OUR GOVT for all these but have we ask ourselves what we can do? I guess we should all wake up to our self impose comma wake up and start being the solution.
Good point. Steve Jobs loves Marxism.
Very intimidating style of debate. Cookie monster is SATAN.
Your turn.
I see, you want some. So you defend the fact that corporations first set up slave labor camps and then sold the 1st world the goods after they took their jobs while artificially creating financial bubbles to subdue the masses.
Your turn.
DO I WANT SOME?
*LOL*
FUCKING RETARD!
BANANAS!
OVER THERE --------------------------------------------->
It’s a good thing every last ounce of fungible gold in the world was mined under the best of circumstances by the world’s most coddled workforces, the standard by which all labor conditions in every industry are measured. Otherwise, one might feel a little guilty owning the stuff.
Mr. Lennon Hendrix, If you feel so strongly about this, you can do something - boycott everything that you think is made by slave labour, by sweatshops, corporate whores, etc. See if you can live true to your beliefs. It's easy to rant, but when you actually have to do something, or give up something for your beliefs, you will likely be the first to run away. Better crawl back to the stone you came from before someone in Nike boots crushes you.
Maybe you should change your name to Mr Lenin Hendrix? So Apple did what big companies do - AND YOU AND I DO EVERYDAY - they took advantage of comparative pricing. They did it in manufacture, we do it in the things we buy. They met their fiduciary responsibilty to their shareholders and we do the same for our families.
Those companies also go a long way to lifting other people out of poverty around the world. While the wages they receieve are low as compared to the US they are generally top tier in their local markets, the long term theory being that as they rise out of poverty they will use the goods and services we provide. Does it work? Who knows, it is still relatively early in the game to tell. In some places it will in others it likely won't.
Please explain the interplay between NAFTA and Apple. You must be much smarter than I am because I don't see it...
There's actually a name for Apple without slave labour. It's called B&O, Bang and Olufsen-RIP Steve and thank you.
With tits and ass for brains, you don't know what a sociopath is.
Wow, Jobs rip Woz off . . . I guess Woz is now in the poor house, no?
"Woz confirmed that Jobs did rip him off in the early days when Jobs got him to redesign the circuit board for the classic arcade game, Breakout. After Wos had spent 72 hours straight getting the system boards chip count down by around half. Jobs told him he’d give Woz half of what he got, $700, but Jobs had actually received $7,000."
steve jobs created a cure for cancer.
steve jobs created the polio vaccine.
steve jobs invented the lightbulb.
...f&ck wait....those were created by other people> now what did steve jobs create...?
fart apps and boobie giggle apps and he also took an hp computer and put it in an aluminium case and sold it for 400% more than hp.
what a joke cause WE BOUGHT THE SH&T...!...and with credit...!
I remember him from his early days all the way through to this picture. There are VERY few people, and I mean VERY few, who are able to impact the WORLD. Not just your kids' school, or a company you work for, or your neighborhood, or your city, or your county, or your state, or even your country. Steve Jobs, regardless of what people think about his tactics, changed the WORLD. That Orwellian commercial signaled that change was coming........Steve changed things. And he NEVER accepted anything less than the best from the people who worked with him or from himself.
The only 2 questions I ask are: What impact have you or I made? What will be on our tombstones?
Keep up the good fight, Steve.
As far as ethics, he let Bill Gates into his world and we all know how that turned out for him,
If he only knew that all diseases (including cancer) are caused by psycological trauma he would recover 100%. Shame.
If only you knew how to spell psychological. Shame.
do you think exposure to radioactive particles, has to psychologically traumatize you, before you can get cancer? shame
Absolutely. How could it not? Oh, unless you are a soul inside a body, or even a mind tucked away yet still seperate from the body. Fucking dualists.
What does exposure to radioactive particles do exactly? And to what extent/strength is the exposure? No one will die or become seriously ill if they ingest a teaspoon of dirt from the ground. But if you eat several buckets then you'll most certainly die.
There's no difference between the physical and the mental unless you believe in fairy tales. However, overcoming mental/physical problems is just has difficult as overcoming physical/mental problems given that they are one in the same. So just saying it's mental or whatever doesn't make the solution any easier.
If only mophead had stayed in school and taken a science class. Shame.
School? You mean that institution that teaches people how to follow orders? Fuck school.
10 thumbs up, 27 thumbs down. For those of you who know exactly what I'm talking about then... psst psst, be careful passing along this information. You will eventually discover that one of the most threatening things you can do to someone is to try to help them. Never mind the doctors who are defending their livelihood. We all need to make a buck.
And Xerox PARC let Jobs and Woz into theirs, and we know how that turned out for them.
Not to take anything away from him in the visionary business sucess department, though.
Steve Jobs had one of the most outstanding careers in the computer technology industry. In the last 30 years this idustry has grown more than any other industry out there. Even the financial sector cannot boast more growth than the computer industry. Being founder and head of the most successful luxury computer companies is saying a lot. The percentage of people who pay attention to the rankings of company founders is small and the percentage of people who are themselves founders is even smaller. These are the people who make or break an economy. If you have enough of them the economy will prosper but if a country does not have enough of them then there will be fewer employers and less money going around for everybody. Steve Jobs was one of these people who built a great company and employed many people. Not only this but his products shaped the common man's thinking. How many people do you know who have an iPod or now even an iPad at their disposal. In the next 20 years Apple will lose its vitality because it lost this great visionary. Tim Cook has a tough carreer to follow. He was not a founder, and he keeps out of the spotlight. The contrast between these two figures is so great that the whole company's image will change. There is no doubt about it. I wish you a great retirement Steve Jobs.
A damn shame. Steve's like 55 years old or something...talk about being short changed. Indeed, keep up the good fight, SJ.
for the better? Rouseau warns us all that technology when merged with humans more often than not creates more effective evil--nothing more.
YOU IDIOT ZH TARDS THE PICTURE IS NOT REAL AND ZH IS A GOLDMAN OPERATION.
get a life.
Whoa! Tyler gets one of those annual bonuses!
Impressive.
Goldman delegates this website to their interns. It is an initiation rite and an inside company joke. Get a life yourself. Didn't you know all of this?
Zerohedge is just the squid doing "God's work"? The plot thickens.... Controlled disinformation from the bankster scum. Write negative stories on the FED, the TBTF banks, the inner workings and problems with your own firm, have it spread all over the internet and quoted on radio shows and TV. Awakening the entire nation to your evil, self-dealing, money grubbing ways. All so you can have a laugh or two while snorting coke out of strippers belly buttons at Scores? I'm not buying it, sorry.
While I agree the photo does not look legit I question the Goldman bit. Perhaps this is just part of your stated goal.
"No, I want to be the greatest troll of ZH."
Hey, fuu, I have your IP, and I am coming over to your land address to say fuu.
Yawn
If you are going to be much longer could you pick up some beer on the way?
Come visit me too. I'm hungry.
I question the Goldman assertion too! I would like a pizza and some lemonade.
Come visit me. And remember, if this is your first time at fight club, you have to fight.
lol
So Steve Jobs has taken to wearing skirts?
But wait, there's more. Not to demean the man whatsoever... there are some strange shits floating about in the Propaganda-News-O-Sphere.
To wit: Steve quite a long time ago was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Which is Terminal, EOC.
Gets a liver transplant as a meams of extending life.
All fine and good. I wish him well.
But, the Liver Transplant has not Cured the Uncurable Pancreatic Cancer.
The man resigns. And what in the world happens in the So-Called-News-O-Sphere? A bazillion talking heads blabbering on about the future of Apple now that Steve-O is gone... well, might as well be by the way its being treated, and he ain't dead, yet. (Holy Cow!)
Now, these same talking heads, the Securities Analysts, are not supposed to be moaning, wringing their hands, and wondering out loud what the future holds, for they've known that Steve is a gonner for quite some time. So, here's a man's pending demise, him exiting with grace and dignity, being turned into a fucking circus by the bobble heads. When the talking heads have had years to figure out what his departure means.... So why the feighned mystery? Why is it promoted and given front and center air-time?
Circus, as in Bread and Circus.
Yes, my little shape shifting lizard friends, an ulterior motive, another distraction form the real necessities of the day.
Anyone see the GDP data? Anybody listen to Benji? Anybody see a resolution to the EU and Euro situations? Anybody fucking figure out that the Russian CB is in a borrow all the fucking gold they can get their hands on mode... somewhat contemperaneous with Venezualia calling in The Monster of All Time Big Shorts....
Nope, it's STeve-O, APPL and Irene 24/7/365.
The fucking media is using the man as a tool to perpetuate the Bread and Circus Myths of Today, Tomorrow and the World.
Even by my lowly standards, this is disgusting beyond all bounds.
Come to thnk of it, there's only one way the MSM could be so fucked up. It is indeed the Fourth Branch of the Government as John Kerry once called it.
God bless, Mr. Jobs.
May God always hold you in the palm of his hand.
that's Steve Jobs doing this. He's asking TPTB "is this what you wish on others that aren't like you? It could BE you!" To me it's the most powerful thing he has ever done in his life. As you say "what man in his right mind..." I say a man with a conscience.
take you conspiracy nonsens away...the man made his fortune playing the game you be shitting on...
You mean ZH is doing god's work? 'bout time somebody does around here, hehe.
What watermellon truck did you just fall off of?
