Just shut down the damn company. Maybe we'll have less hipsters and iDiots.

Some people had to ruin apple's reputation.

...Jerks...

Aww, as much of a PC guy I am its still sad to see a visionary and inventive genius like him go.

56? That's pretty young to die to be honest... what'd he die from?

Natef · « **Reply #9 on:** October 05, 2011, 07:04:58 PM »

Cancer.

He got pancreatic cancer in 2004, its a wonder he didn't die 5 years ago.

@Enigma: The products tend to be great, man. People just have a vendetta against the company because of the 'hipster'-ness of the iPods/iPads/iPhones etc. I love the Mac, if I only had enough money to buy one. I'd find it useful for the increased amount of music software, etc. If anything it'd be great if you showed a little respect in this kind of circumstance?

@Noodle: Seems they did pretty well keeping him going that long then o.o

Quoted for truth. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

I'm pretty sure Apple will just shut down in a year too. I couldn't be any happier, now it's Linux's turn to rise as the new computer phenomenon. (highly unlikely, but a guy can dream, can't he ?)
@craig
I have an ipod, that's the only good thing they made imo.
Also, there computers are uber expensive, and they only have like 5 gigs of ram.

Both of you pretty much sum up my thoughts. (':

And because they're expensive means the company should be shut down? Let's shut down Sony and Microsoft while we're at it 'cos the 360/PS3 are more expensive than a Wii :P

Natef · « **Reply #16 on:** October 05, 2011, 07:10:21 PM »

Their things are really popular, so Apple will be around for a while.

*searches on apple website*
Okay, so the new macbook (cheapest model) is over $1000, yet it only 2.3ghz. lolwut

As much as I am a PC person now, Apple will always be in my heart.

Is a nice looking, expensive car less desirable than a cheaper, ugly beast? :P
ANYWAY I need sleep, school in 7 hours.
