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.

This love fest misses some blatant irony, I will be vilified for pointing out, but I am going to say anyway.
Human body design (credit to whomever or whatever you wish to give it to) allows for other creative humans to fix, prolong and even make parts interchangeable to sustain and improve the human body.
Apple products, by Jobs the Creator, won't even let you swap out the vital organ (the battery) in your iPHONE. Mr. Jobs should be grateful for every minute that the transplant granted him. If humans were designed in Cupertino by Jobs he would not be here now.
Three cheers for open standards and reverse engineering, it can save your life. Just make sure your wife can't repo the kidney she gave you when you ask for the divorce.
"Irony, it's what make this whole farce, called reality, worth getting up for."
Did Steve jobs' wife give him his transplants?
No, that reference is a reference to another ironic celebrity.
would he take back the last 15 years of his life if he could have 30 more healthy ones? And the last 15 healthy too. Albeit - out of the public eye..still financially well off but not like now, and a legacy from early on, but not the one he has now.
Every disease / illness is a manifestation / reflection of the inner soul...
You can't get "something" (Whatever that is) for "nothing"
Reading about the private personality of SJ might be illuminating..
I ponder what Woz might say ...
a black dress, gray socks, and sandals? they made this photo public? fo shizzle?
TMZ has no shame or tact whatsoever.
jobs always wears
1. levis
2. black shirt / t shirt / turtleneck
3. new balance
i'm thinking this photo's bullshit...
edit: show me one other picture of this man in a little black dress and i'll shut up (maybe)
The hemline looks fake as hell.
it's the new iDress...it absorbs all light regardless of the solar angle
As goes Jobs, so goes the economy.
We will miss them both dearly.
Truly astonishing, all the hero-worship and lauding over a man no one here really knows one iota about, or doesn't care to know beyond the managed corporate persona presented for public consumption. Quite similar to the mythology surrounding the supposed genius that is Bill Gates, whose father was head of Planned Parenthood. The common ground bewteen these two frontmen is of course transhumanism; a movement originated by acknowledged eugenicist Julian Huxley, and funded by the Rockefeller Foundation as a veiled branding of the original Eugenics Society. Apple and MS are sideshows to the true aspirations of Jobs and Gates, or more precisely, their trusts and handlers. As we have seen with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Mr. Gates is now into the business of saving the world with vaccines and no doubt, Mr. Jobs wants to help humanity into a futuristic techno-utopia consisting of Humans 2.0. How valiant of these men. How selfless. While I truly feel sorrow for anyone that succumbs to the manufactured scourge of society, it's high-time we wake up to the fact that Mr. Jobs is no friend to humanity, no matter how many i-things he can market.
Bill Gates is into eugenics, i.e., population control and reduction, through vacinations. Saving the world, my ass.
http://beforeitsnews.com/story/340/140/The_Gates_of_Hell_Foundation.html
Ever wonder why Bill Gates Sr. is at the forefront of the keep-the-estate-tax movement? Because the super-rich figured it out long time ago that foundations is the way to keep their pillage and to be able to transfer it from one generation to the next, while the sheeple and those less fortunate than them are held back with in come taxes, property taxes, estate taxes, etc.
Bill Gates is from Hell.
Foundations are a new thing..
and irravocable family trust is still the best way to keep things intact.
Can you back up these allegations? Give us a url or two so that we can decide for ourselves. Do you know if they are both eye and triangle people?
Thank you Drachma. The future will reveal the ugly truth.
What's with all the commie fucktards on this site? Steve Jobs is the CEO of a corporation, why the fuck is it his responsibility to be a "friend of humanity"? His responsibility is to make money for his shareholders, I think that he's done a damn admirable job of that.
more importantly, who was the playmate for that issue? any pics?
..... everyone has a life, given a life by their mom. he deserves whatever life he has left ; if he's sick & suffering, he has my sympathy & best wishes & regards.
I think it's a shame. Who hasn't wanted to be like him for some of what he was able to do? Fired by a consipiracy of 'government technocrats' from the company he founded - he was later able to go back in as a saviour and rescue the damn thing. Plus apple was so entertaining. Never bought one - let's face it, PC's rule the world - but without ANY competition they'd rule your balls also. But still love my iPhone.

I don't wish cancer on anyone, but didn't this guy get caught with his hands in the cookie jar not too long ago with backdating options or something like that? No matter what good he did, he was still a pathological thief like bankers and other CEOs. You are either a good man or not. Period. Sorry, but them's the facts.
no such thing as "Good" or "Evil" just a matter of perspective. One man's good, is another man's evil.
One (wo)man's treasure, is another (wo)man's junk. ...doesn't anyone pay attention to mythology?
Only cause and effect...
but then..seeing how many have fallen --> hook, line, and sinker -- for the new "Apple/fruit"...I guess many don't pay attention to mythology...and how it repeats...
cancer...from stress on internal system...so - ya have a point on backdated options...
I think you have a point. Stress can and does in my opinion cause or accelerate cancer. Maybe Jobs should have done what Bill Gates did and retire. He could have lived many more years. Yet, he could not give up control, to his own demise.
just in case the photo's real...here's who to thank...

THE PHOTO IS NOT REAL. ZH IS LOWER THAN NATIONAL ENQUIRER THESE DEVOUT OUTPOURINGS WERE EMOTIONALLY BLACKMAILED FROM YOU BY A BLOG WITHOUT ETHICS
don't u have anything better to do ?
don't think it's zh...think it's paparazzi
thats really sad, he looks like a guy i knew who lost a battle with cancer too, it just takes everything. Look forward to the day someone finds a cure, for its a shitty way to go. Fucking horrible, what a waste.
I had a friend die of pancreatic cancer.
To those who say "it is better to die" don't know what they are talking about. Life may be awful, but there are two things to remember:
1. You can spend more time with your loved ones.
2. By trying to survive, you can add a lot to medical knowledge about the course of the disease, presuming of course that the doctors care enough to learn. Even by tracking the nursing, and complications, there is a lot of learning to be had. You expose more healthcare workers to the problems which teaches them about care strategies.
Those who criticize expensive end of life care need to examine the nature of medicine in the US which makes it expensive, and non-instructive.
My deepest care and love to Steve and what he going through.
Don't know him, never did and never will. I do know, however, by the look of that photo that he is on the last leg. I've had 2 family members die of cancer (liver and pancreatic) and have been down the road of terminal care. It's not pretty. It's dehumanizing for the patient. In short, it's a very tough way to go. All the meds in the world don't take away the pain, they simply help the victim to manage it.
Many have wished "good luck", "best of luck", etc. Luck has nothing to do with it and time has everything to do with it. For him, as a person, I wish him the most comfort and dignity he can muster in his closing time on this earthly plain. No one knows (not even him) what awaits him afte the final curtin call... pick a religious belief or a permanent dirt nap, your choice. Hence the will to survive more vehemently displayed by most in such a situation. Adieu, Mr. Jobs, you certainly left a lasting mark on this world.
I wonder how many kids he cut in front of to get that kidney, only to live a couple more years.
Didn't know he had a kidney transplant. He did have a liver transplant. That was due to his financial ability to "multi-list". That is, travel around the country and pay for assessment at multiple transplant centers and wait for the first available. Most individuals can't do that due to cost (almost all insurance companies restrict the patient to one assessment); they simply can't afford to pay for a medical evaluation that is necessary to be placed on a waiting list.
You sound like a naive apologist.
You don't sound like anything in particular. But you are most certainly a moron to make a statement about the wrong organ and then incite inflamatory remarks without any background on what you post. Go back to your mothers basement and play on your ipad while listening to your ipod while you flog yourself over your support of Obama Mr. Social Justice.
It does not matter how powerful you are, how rich you are. one day you will meet your creator. I like to send this photo to Bush, Cheany, ramsfield and all the criminals who are killing millions of innocent people around the world for their profit. If a good man like Jobs with all his vision and money is getting ready to go, criminals definetly will go to hell.
That set of criminals retired. The new set in office should get your anger, they have doubled down on killing millions for their profit.
Can't remember their names? Think hard, really hard. Who is SoD, who is VP, who is POTUS, who is TOTUS? Any of those names you brought up? But we are in more wars than ever now!
Clown.
Absolutely.
why wait for death, to meet your creator? step up, the veil is rent
"A warrior goes to you swift and straight as an arrow shot into the sun. Welcome him and let him take his place at the council fire of my people. Bid them patience and ask death for speed; for they are all there but one, I, Chingachgook, last of the Mohicans." -- Chingachgook, the Last of the Mohicans, upon the death of his son, Uncas.
Apple makes toys for mass consumption. Most of their products are coin operated meaning you constantly need to add money to get the value out of it. Never bought into apple at all. Bash me all you want, I have nothing against toys but to reveer them is stupid. Nuf said. Why didn't the guy go to Burznski for treatment before it was too late? Maybe he should use Marry Jane oil or something?
What the fuck are you talking about? I have a Mac and an Ipod, never spent a cent on anything after the initial purchase.
I feel like watching "
Pirates of Silicon Valley"once again.
I remember using an Apple II in 1st grade with a program (I think called Turtle) to move a little triangle around the screen leaving a series of colored lines wherever it went unsing simple keyboard commands. It was my first computer experience ever, and it was incredibly simple and fun...same basic ideas apply to their products today.
You were part of my childhood Mr. Jobs...I wish you well.
logo?
I can't believe I read all these comments... Jesus Fuck, there are some real morons out there.
News flash: Steve Jobs does not deserve dignity.... EVERYONE deserves dignity.
Steve Jobs was a brilliant, entertaining, hard working, and savvy human being, but ALL human beings eventually croak. For all of you expressing sadness or sympathy as if Jobs was your Messiah being nailed to the cross- Go out and get yourselves some introspection: would you express the same sentiment if it was one of your random neighbors who was terminally sick? How about the anonymous old man carting around his oxygen bottle at the grocery store... a man who might still carry around german bullets somewhere in his body? Do you give two fucks about that guy? indeed, do you even give him a second glance?
Because Jobs is accomplished, rich, and maintains a bit of celebrity, his inevitable passing is somehow more significant than anyone elses? Get real.
Mr Jobs- If you read this- I thank you for your determined self motivation and your purpose driven contributions to society through the years, but there is no way in hell I would have ever wanted to suck your dick over it.
Nope. Wouldn't give any of them a second glance, much like Mr. Jobs. I harbor no ill will for any of those you mentioned, him included. I would wish to be able to give them the hope and dignity they could use at that juncture of their lives. However, as my dear departed father used to say: "Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first". Hope nad dignity are a state of mind (largely) that one has to develop all by oneself. They can't be given, only helped to develop. He draws the outpouring simply because of the legacy he has left behind is in so many homes and minds around the world. As in one poster stating using his products in 1st grade. I'm about the same age as Steve Jobs and we used a pencil and paper, not a computer which might be why I don't have hero worship attached to my comments. Regardless, he will still have left a lasting mark on the world he's leaving behind.
" He draws the outpouring simply because of the legacy he has left behind is in so many homes and minds around the world. "
Cogent thoughts- much appreciated.
But, there is a dark side to that legacy... Like the millions of video-game addicted, vitamin D deprived and socially mal-adjusted, self professed (but non-accomplished) "geniuses" out there who are more comfortable living their lives in their basement on facebook than they are interacting with real people in the real world...
Now, I'm not going to pin this societal deficiency on Jobs, Gates, Kurzweil, or any other transhumanist, but in many ways they established themselves as the pushers supplying ever more powerful drugs into the schoolyards...
Computational power is great. Efficiency and productivity improvements are great, but social regression and psychological dependance on electronic and platform media? Not so much (in my opinion).
Peace.
No argument from me on that point, it's a dead on analysis of the ills of modern society.
you funny
Oh, and +1 on the photo being fake.
He was probably wearing his trademark black mock-turtleneck and someone went photshop happy with it...
Totally uncalled for, totally stupid, and a total waste of time.
Congrats to all you fuck-tards who fell for it.
1. He was not Thomas Edison or anything like that. Woz did the inventing, this guy did the MARKETING.
2. Sorry he is dying, but I got news today that a young man from the Class of 2009 West Point died in Afganistan. 2nd from his class in 2 months. Now that is to shed tears over. Bring our soldiers home now.
Name one thing this guy invented or was first with. He was fired from Apple.
Apple was kept on life support by M$ for years. Those are facts.
He put a nice dial on a MP3 player? He took Unix and put a nice GUI on it?
WTF? So what.
Sorry to hear that another young man needlessly died from naively believing US military recruitment propaganda bullshit.
He should be taking SOD and Resveratrol - kicks chemos ass, and is all natural!!!
Who the fuck gave me a negative?????? Unless you know what your talking about you can eat shit and die!!!!!!!!!!! Do some research anon fag!!!!!!!!!!
Steve Jobs: American Hero.
American hero? You are an american moron. Have you ever considered what "hero" actually means?
My prayers go out to the family, and to Jobs himself.
I've had my suspicions for a while but this looks like A.I.D.S
fuck me, get a grip. Steve Jobs never did anyone here a favour. He sold anyone and everyone a gadget for a profit. And good on him, that makes him just as great as every other extremely successful salesman. And the fact that he has cancer makes him just as great as every other cancer victim. Yes he made a lot of money, and the money he made was his reward for his lifes work...he deserves no more. If anyone here that is extolling his virtues can give me a link to another site where they are extolling the virtues of another cancer ridden salesman who is not as famous I will afford them the credit they deserve for their humanitariasm....otherwise quit with the bullshit. If you want to proclaim him a great gadget salesman then just do so...to even suggest anything like this is "heartbreaking" or "tragic" is just further evidence of how fucked the world is. Heaven forbid the rate of gadget development slows, I'm certain the world's truely poor people bleed for him and wonder how long it will be until they get an iphone5...or their next bag of rice
Those iphones are made in slave labor camps located in Asian countries.
Funny how you don't hear the NAACP going after apple. Next time you see a black person with an iphone laugh at the irony. I can't wait for the asians going after the blacks for reparations.
I've driven around "Intinite Loop": seemz that I'm still drivin' - Ned
Tyler,
For heavens sake, please take this image off of your site. The man deserves his dignity.
Let's not degrade to the level of TMZ.
Agreed
Fuck. Three disasters this week and this is definitely the worst one. Typing from an iPhone ...
steve jobs got rich and 'got his' and then outsourced my job in austin and all my friends jobs. we were the people that bought apple products, that made the company what it is and he dumped our asses to make more (even more) profit...even thou the SOB was already richer than god...f&ck him. let the worms eat him and all his wealth.....
ZH has just jumped the frickin shark posting crap from TMZ. It sure as hell looks photchopped to me, especially at the waist to the knees.
Nuke the picture - it looks like the poor man is dressed in a full length skirt. Talk about loss of dignity - the man made billions for the global elite, he doesn't deserve this just to make his successor look "vital, healthy and fresh" to bump stock prices, even if you're aware he wasn't calling the shots for the last 5 years. All this is doing is feeding the myth that a human needs to burn themselves to the point of physical depletion for the good of Capital.
Sick sentimentality, and a betrayal of what Capitalism should be about (in your terms, average ZHer - maybe not for the Marxists, who expect it).
Apple has a lot of billions spare - its sad they didn't invest heavily [and I mean heavily] in the stem cell / biotech research. Fuck the Ipod 5, should have dumped that cash into H.S. 2.0.
I wonder as he nears death, what he thinks about - is it still all about a vision for Apple or is it about the metaphysical or is it perhaps about theology?
He's left a legacy of great personal achievement - is that enough, is that all or is there more?
Not holding my breath waiting for him to address those topics, but I would be curious to know if facing mortality has changed his views at all...
Why do people wear socks with sandals? I will buy an Apple when the price drops. Thanks Steve.
Just got my first Apple product a few months back, an iPhone4. The thing is amazing, very well designed and put together, a pleasure to own. Can't say that often. If there is an afterlife, and if Steve Jobs one day gets there, and if it is Apple-esque, he'll be in Fat City, and I wish him well.
Jobs:Computers are actually pretty simple.
Jobs: When I came back from India, I found myself asking,
I forgot what an in depth interviews use to be like.
Capitalism owes alot to people like Steve. Total respect Steve & God Bless you
If Jobs made all the parts in the USA and put them together with union labour then he would be poorer and the Chinese wouldn't have jobs. Then they couldn't buy any Buicks!
This was California. You could get LSD fresh made from Stanford

Ten to 15 years ago, if you asked people to make a listof the five most exciting companies in America, Polaroid and Xerox would have been oneveryone's list. Where are they now? They would be on no one's list today. Whathappened? Companies, as they grow to become multibillion-dollar entities, somehowlose their vision.
Doesn't look good - I wish him the best; he did the best thing by taking time to be close to loved ones ...

My love goes out.
As a 12-year post-chemo triplenegative breast cancer survivor, Steve, if you read this, the mental part is really tough, but, as encouragement, your legacy is outstanding....few people have uplifted and improved their species' daily lives as much as you have; worship of your ability is wrong, but all honor is due you....please continue fighting your fight with all the dignity you have continued to manifest....with you.......
Thank you Steve! Now compare Apple to US Govt: Who balanced books better, who turned profits, who paid workers without using taxpayers money? There's a lot of praise to be heaped here. Jobs should be w/ Obie Debt Bro, not Immelt, but Steve has other concerns. Take off the black, sir, and put on the red, white and blue. Jobs is a Leader.
ZH. take this shit down. No business being here. You are not a tabloid. Enough is enough!
One of the great entrepreneurs of the past century and the primary driving force of a Fortune 500 company is probably not going to see the end of the year. How is this not relevant business news?
photoshopped for whatever reason....look at the bottom hemline of his gown (or whatever).
The truth? Who cares what is really going on cause it will not affect your life one single iota.
Yes he was brilliant. He was obviously at the right place at the right time. If he hadn't done the work, someone else would have.
If he's truly sick, I wish him well and to discover the great secrets of combating cancer. he should read about the power of the subconscious mind.
As far as that, I could care less. He's a billionaire. Money will buy you damn near anything. except for maybe peace of mind.
Technology is over-rated. yes I use it, but I am not infatuated with it like most and I can do without...and do!
Its kinda like the monetary system. Its monopolistic. You participate or else.
Jobs: [Grins] Normal stuff. Like making a huge flag with a giant one of these on it [givesthe finger ]. The idea was that we would unfurl it in the middle of a school graduation.Then there was the time Wozniak made something that looked and sounded like abomb and took it to the school cafeteria. We also went into the blue-box businesstogether
Simply the best. SJ is the national treasure of out time.
Jobs: Simple things like monitoring your stocks every hour or every day. When a stockgets beyond set limits, the computer will call my broker and electronically sell it and thenlet me know.
sad for his illness but he followed the same predatory business model as everyone else: use young talented Americans to start your company and then eventually ship 1000's of jobs oversees hoping Americans keep buying your product-billionaires are simply modern day barbarians.
Jobs: Well, I'll tell you a story. I saw a video tape that we weren't supposed to see. Itwas prepared for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. By watching the tape, we discovered that, atleast as of a few years ago, every tactical nuclear weapon in Europe manned by U.S.personnel was targeted by an Apple II computer.
He would be wearing a LITTLE BLACK DRESS.
iDress. Go out and buy it, fanboys. You will look so COOL.
Certainly Bill Gates doesn't like to be characterized as a megalomaniac, and Steve Jobs doesn't like to be described as a sociopath, but that's what they are. Trust me.
- Robert X. Cringely, Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition, and Still Can't Get a Date
Similar to Einstein and Jefferson, I think you will find both Jobs and Gates have a genetic condition called aspergers. Sounds like this Wozniak guy might too, silicon valley is a known hotbed for it..
Many people considered brilliant are likely to have it;

after I saw lee majors, in a powder blue leisure suit, the six million dollar man, could never command the prior respect. this picture could hurt apple, as much as his prior announcement. maybe that's the intention.
Wake up, bozos!
http://www.cultofmac.com/insidestevesbrain
Inside Steve’s Brain cuts through the cult of personality that surrounds Jobs to unearth the secrets of his unbelievable results. It reveals the real Steve Jobs, not his heart or his famous temper, but his mind. So what’s really inside Steve’s brain? According to Leander Kahney, who has covered Jobs since the early ’90s, it’s a fascinating bundle of contradictions.
Jobs is an elitist who thinks most people are bozos — but he makes gadgets so easy to use, a bozo can master them.
He’s a mercurial obsessive with a filthy temper — but he forges deep partnerships with creative geniuses like Steve Wozniak, Jonathan Ive, and John Lasseter.
He’s a Buddhist and an anti-materialist — but he produces mass-market products in Asian factories, and he promotes them with absolute mastery of the crassest medium, advertising.
A real failure is one who blames others for his own faults and inadequacies. Your obsessive and incessant rants in the Jobs’ threads define you. Though I’m no psychiatrist (calling TopCallingTroll !), I’d venture a guess the biggest fanboi’s obsession is less damaging to the “soul” than what ails you.
Enjoy your non-sheeple “club”.
No matter what he has done, or not done,who he is, or isn't...................
After watching two loved one's go down with this same disease in the last month,one at 31, and one at 49,my heart hurts for him and his. It's totally devastating.
God Bless you and your family.
This colonel guy, he's wacko man. He's worse than crazy. He's evil. I mean, that's what the man's got set up here, man. It's fuckin' pagan idolatry! Look around you.
why print the picture is this national inquirer?
I'll never forgive him for the way he deceived, betrayed and cheated Wozniac. Steve Jobs is a soulless exploitative bastard, and never changed.
"forges deep partnerships with creative geniuses like Steve Wozniak" - yeah, so he can steal their ideas, grab the fruits of their work for himself, then stab their creators in the back.
Hurry up and die, Jobs.
Awesome Prescience and Intelligence. A genuine inspiration to any aspiring entrepenuer.
Why is this on ZH?
Are we supposed to trade based on it?
I wish Jobs the best, but still hate he guy and don't care for his fanbase of nubes, so from POV, this just makes no sense posting an article about a sick guy with a freaking sad picture to boot. Whatever. Later.
Why is Woody Harrelson hanging out with Steve Jobs? Maybe he's going to play him in an upcoming movie...go one better than Christian Bale and lose 80% of his bodyweight
/bad taste
Sorry Steve. Hasn't he had the pancreatic cancer for about seven years or so? That must be some kind of record.
Will see you in the light Steve,

"...and all these things shall be added unto you." It's a matter of cause and effect.
Not much time left. How come the good people are taken away to early and the worthless ones live on and on.
This is a Man that will be remembered for a long time by many. I am just shocked looking at this picture.
This has got to be the worst way of dying. Specially when it's painful and slow. How come SOB Buffett is not dead yet?
The average age of Buffett's internal organs is 19 years. He has probably had every organ replaced with fresh meat from the ritual sacrifices on the table at the Bilderburg eachyear.
No wonder he stepped down, it looks like his body is fighting a losing battle. In fact he looks worse than he did a year ago, I think in a few months we will be hearing about his death.
Boring.....Get back to the end of the world stories......not enough people typing in comments that start with "bitchez".
hey...I'm getting double 'points'... If I thumb up or down a comment it immediately changes value by 2 points (sorry, in my enthusiasm I may have clicked a couple of triangles I did not mean to click)....I am soooo powerful...til the glitch is fixed...
Here's to you Steve. I know your friends are right there with you- rooting for you big guy!
~V~
No app for what he's got.
I respect Jobs for creating a massive company and giving us things like the mouse based GUI of the Mac, however I know that much of the innovation was done by others who do not get the credit they deserve. The Mac ruled for ten years in schools but never really made a dent in the home market. The reason was from the getgo Apple products were overpriced and sold by many dealers that had no clue as to sell a product. The big failure was that IBM took over corporate America because they were standardized, cheaper, and could be fixed easier than Macs. You couldn't buy a Mac and bring your work home.
You also didn't learn computer programming for Apple products in school. The library probably had a Mac but the computer lab was all IBM . From 1983 to 2001 Applehardly innovated at all. The real computer revolution started with Windows 95 within two years nearly every family in America bought a computer. When Iwent to college in 1996 only two people on my floor had a computer. By the end of the year there was only two that didn't have one, and that was at CMU.
Jobs didn't create the MP3 player, or the smartphone, or the tablet but somehow Apple became the defacto standard. I think more of this had to do with the performance of Apple stock and the growing glamour of the stock market. he media made Apple an "it" ting and you weren't cool unless you had an iPod even if other products were better.
At the end of his life Job's has turned Apple into everything he said it would not be when he started. Apple is nothing but a marketing company that sells overpriced garbage with no real innovation. They may be the largest company on Earth based on stock but if Aplle went away tomorrow there would not be any negative impact on the world. There are other products that can replace anything Apple makes. In the end Apple no longer matters and neither does Jobs. Hopefully as he fades away so will the company known as Apple.
And I thought the gold bug and 9/11 Truther knuckle-draggers were moronic... just mention cancer therapy and the bar is lowered even further...
someone mentioned he changed the world.
you are righht he turned it into an even more materialistic shot hole than it was before
are you saying the world had something missing before I pods, I pads and I phones?
some people spend a years wages on ani phone or I pad
Jobs andf gates are geeks and in many ways the world is begtter off without them
If he was sucha genious he would ahve figured out that cancer is a fungus
and can be cured with sodium bicarbonate
I guesxs by the mere fact he hasn'd done that means he isn't a bilderbereger anyway
In a world without Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, I probably wouldn't have just read that stupendously asinine comment, so perhaps you're right.
unfuckingreal, how can people like you even exist?
And if you were such a "GENIOUS", you'd know the correct spelling - what a tool! LOL!
It says something about those of us who still hold to our humanity that we feel sad for this man and the obvious uffering he is going through. That he has caused an equal, if not exponentially worse, amount of suffering doesn't make the natural human impulse of empathy any weaker.
Sure, he has been one of thousands of corporate fascists. But if his suffering can be justified by the "evil" he has done, can't anyones? And if his is so easy to ignore, isn't anyone elses. That we are all people and that suffering should feel so unjust in almost every circumstance is what gives that little bit of light to what humanity has become.
Dignity is all of ours. We can't afford to lose it now.
I think you are right. Are we so righteous to stand in judgement of Steve Jobs? We are all guilty of so much wrong doing. The only thing I would disagree with is his suffering not being justified. I desire that mercy, compassion, and grace would be shown to him; however, this does not refute the fact that he deserves everything that is coming to him. His suffering and all of ours is justified.
Absolutely heartbreaking, I am devestated.
APPL is a hype and Americans are dumb to follow and spend their money on things and apps to no end and then say, I am broke look at me, but I have a fucking IPAD and IPHONE. Keep up with the latest and see yourself going broke America. BTW, APPL apps are wriiten in Mumbai.
If you think about it, this man changed the WORLD, and for the better, such a great mind, this is so sad, not just for him and his friends, but for us all, I have never met him, don't even own any Apple products, but I truly feel moved by him being so ill
Can you name one of the scientist that unraveled DNA and charted the human genome? Now that was life changing-Iphone NOT, Ipad NOT, Ipod NOT life changing just entertaining.
Francis Collins
2 different things, do you honestly believe the discoveries he was greatly responsible for didn't alter how people function today, not saying for the better, but definitely changed...
Tyler,
"Thoughts" toward or about Steve are a nice gesture, but lack any power. He needs our prayers. Thanks for the post on Jobs. Way to keep it classy.
Should have started stem cell research a long time ago. He could have had a pancreas transplant--too bad all those bible toting morons kept voting it down.
With our pursuit of money one thing that we will never be able to purchase is immortality. What is your eternal plan, do you believe in a life after death, heaven, eternal God and Creator? What is your hedge if there is a Hell?
Steve Jobs: a sad metaphor for the end of an age - yours included.
"...therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee".
Wow. This thread really ignited the powder keg! Everything from he's a saint to burn in hell to corporate bastard to magnanimous patron of technology. I stated it earlier and will again... he's got a rough end ahead of him. He, and only he, will have to reconcile with that between now and when he begins the journey to dust. Religious? Pick your faith and send him to that deity or cauldron. Not? He's dead and that's the end of it. Bereavement and joy are for the non departed as a means to deal with either the loss, envy, hatred, loathing or.... pick a human emotion. Can anyone on this entire thread say they wouldn't accept his fortune upon his passing based on principle? Not honestly. The only person that ever knows the 100% truth of the matter in that statement is the individual pondering it. He did, in fact, leave a legacy. His name is iconic. But if you give it 75 years I venture to say not many will remember him or anything he did. It's the nature of humanity. We have, literally, millions of people that have left their mark on humanity in a myriad of ways and very few of them ever make it into the history of collective memory time immortal. To that end, he'll fall into the dustbin of history like so many others and only he truly knows what penance his pain serves before his death.
Reading through the various Steve Jobs threads on this site, I am reminded of a curiosity of the human condition, which is that some people are hard wired to be incessantly hateful and unhappy.
George Orwell wrote that a person’s face before age forty is up to God, but after forty it is up to the person. With that as backdrop, I am thankful that Tyler allows the use of avatars on Zerohedge and does not require mug shots.
absolutely, some people here are in the gutter, its depressing. The hate comes from bitterness, jealousy and spite, any old vehicle will do to express it. If a way of expressing it does not exist, they make it up. Its a truly disgusting way to live a life.
It's obvious he doesn't have much time left, and as a human being I feel sad for him. I don't own any Apple products becauseI don't really like them, but I do recongize that Jobs is a talanted person, in his field, who accomplished alot, and for that I have my respect for him. Hope his condition improves, but if you followed JAcl Layton who passed away just days ago, jobs doesn't look any better.
Good Luck Steve
" 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"
Yeah but Ford was a hardcore nazi (Hitler had a portrait of him on his desk) while Jobs seems to be a more decent human being. And who's to blame? Jobs who outsources to China or the U.S. customer who buys the outsourced products?
Hepatitis C? His illness could be from his own actions. Wonder if he injected drugs when he was younger. We know he took acid. Maybe that is why everyone is so hush hush about his health. I would also explain the lack of hair loss as his disease is not from cancer.
My Cousin was a Flower Child and died at 45. God bless her sweet soul. Those drugs are killers.
Dear (soul) of St-EVE JOBs,
ya know the ATOM / ADAM bomb may have created the Internet...
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/how-the-atom-bomb-gave-b...
but you St-EVE, you gave us the new APPLE. You offered us a BYTE for $666.66 (The number of MAN, I know)

That personal home computer idea, I've been "eating/using" it almost everyday of my LIFE (EFIL/EVIL) - I was around sEVEn years old when our family got an Apple II+. Next year (2012) I'm going to stop though...cuz I see the harmful effects now of all our computer technology. All our technology really, cuz I found another way to exist. It's not a "better way" per se, unless you think so - cuz everything is a matter of perspective. Perspectives like how this APPLE "gravy train" brough you FINancial riches and a LIVing legacy, but not richness in the health of your inner SOUL / SOL (SUN).
http://www.livescience.com/7799-strange-humans-glow-visible-light.html
You offered ME the Apple G4 (MACINTOSH Apples!) and I "ate" that too when I was into MOOsic - which I no longer am - cuz I see the harmful effects of (most) all man-made music now too. Most of them talk about LOVE (EVOL/EVIL)...a FANtasy for FANatics. I want to BE REAL, not into FANtasies.. I see how LOVE is also AMOR/AMAR (French/Spanish, others) which is ROMAntic / ROMAnticizing things, people, events. Which means LOVE is also LIVE/LIFE is also EVOL / EVIL. Interchangeable vowels...studying language differences has been useful. Glad I speak a few...
You might want to see yourself unreversed, this backward reading of words is interesting - check out www.truemirror.com
Yes - I have known for a few years that EVE = to LIVE. http://www.behindthename.com/name/eve
Adam = MAN...and I know that Yahweh = TO BE...and more....the study of NAMes...I got that figured out too.
I DID NOT FALL for your - CULT of I - iMAC, iPOD, iPHONE, or iPAD. Which has led to iEVERYTHING these days. iGoogle, CNN iReport...sometimes people call it MYspace, MEebo, MY Documents, MY-Everything. So much ME,MYself, and I these days. FAKEbook has evolved from this CULT of I idea...
Glad I I haven't fallen hard for those recent fruits of your LABOR - iPHONY, iFAD (LABOR --> LOVER/LIVEr --> didn't you get a LIVER transplant?).
Those EMF waves from WiFi, wireless technology, not so healthy --- maybe you would have LIVEd longer.

I DID FALL - indirectly - for the other kinds of APPLEs you plucked off the TREE OF LIFE / EVIL. I was into digital photography for awhile - which you helped popularize with the Apple Quicktake camera. The FIRST digital camera that worked with your earlier APPLE IDEA - the home computer.
http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bldigitalcamera.htm
I've used PDAs too a lot before -- Palm T3 and Handspring Visor (Both which I got for FREE though, at least I didn't pay for them) ...you helped popularize this genre with the Apple NEWTON, nobody remembers PSION / ZION. (On another note -- Didn't an APPLE fall on Issac NEWTON's head or something? And he came up with this gravity idea? Soon I will overcome gravity too....flying in airplanes -- over-rated)

sEVEn Interesting Things about APPLE...
http://mycontentwizard.blogspot.com/2010/07/7-interesting-things-we-do-n...
so many SEVENS in history...glad I've studied the history of numbers...
Windows SEVEN, SEVEN World Trade Center buildings that collapsed and no others, SEVEN continents, the list is endless...maybe someday soon, I will put the list back online on the website I've put together. I know the meaning of EIGHT now too...Windows EIGHT in 2012, 787-Dreamliner (Eighth version), knowing history is as easy as ABC and 123.
Anyway...enough of that "mumbo-jumbo / DEvil in the DEtails crap" let me summarize --
Basically...I'm saying, we don't need external machines to exist St-EVE. Our body & mind are machines, that we just don't know how to use - cuz we have never understood METAPHORs very well, let alone LIVING METAPHORs.
I know the various incarnations of who the serpent is too now...internal and external. Soon, I'll stop FEEDing MY serpent.
If people would learn about HUMAN CALCULATORs and maybe watch an episode of 60 Minutes - ENDLESS MEMORY, maybe they would get a clue about the hidden powers in all our minds. Lots of evidence for powers in our bodies too - the DUTCH ICEMAN comes to mind.
I'm glad I've studied history, or rather the I-STORY of the past thousands of years, because soon I will be ready for the WE-STORY coming in 2012!
Cheers.
PS: Learn more here -- www.circusoflife.com
Not sure, if it will ever be available post-2012, so eat-up while you can, it's an open buffet of knowledge...maybe after a certain "period of darkness" begins to end..
Because, some things you just gotta learn in person, not in VIRtual REALity --> FEARtual REALity. VIR/FEAR.
The EX-PER-ience MUSIC Project (EMP - Electromagnetic Pulse) coming to a theater (of war) near you!
EX-FEAR-ience. Say..who funded that museum in Seattle? Comparing the LIFE of Paul Allen with Bill Gates has been as interesting as comparing your life with your old sidekick the W-OZ. The Wizard of Oz...say, what's that story about following the YELLOW brick road?
+ infinity and beyond!
you got it!
But we want the REAL thing....not a FAKE CARtoon CHARacter storyline!
Who wants to stop playing and living in a TOY STORY?
ON WE.
Not virtual and fake like -- Nintendo Wii..but
Wheeee.....is that the sound I'm going to make when I lEARN how to FLY for REAL?
When I exist in a STATE of JOY and when I become "NATION and STATE-less"
No more Borders Bookstores, and no more borders for me too. Another metaphor?
I forgot to mention -- the guy who "grew" the "new APPLE", his name is St-EVE Wozniak.
Same name for the grower and the seller....st-EVE
I saw this on Drudge yesterday. I will never buy an Apple product, but respect Steve Jobs as a visionary of his time. The scumbag that took this photo and sold it to TMZ should realize his/her disgrace. It is very distasteful to ridicule a human being who is a degenerative mode to survive his remaining days. Perhaps karma will meet up with the photographer gleaming with joy in receiving a debased currency payment to mock a icon.
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
Apple is the closest thing America has to high end Japanese electronics. Sony's been doing this for decades.. Only difference is Sony hires millions of their own kind. Otherwise their stock would be flying to $400 too on Mexichink labor.
In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
