Here's what I should of said on Facebook:

"RIP Steve Jobs along with all the other 250,000 people who died that day.."

Do it. You won't.


--------------------
"I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

The main points seem to be that:  Apple's products are entirely locked down, and that Jobs should have moved his manufacturing out of China.

I get it, but it seems to me that one of Apple's claims to fame are that the products "just work".  I'd guess that this is due, in part, because they control all aspects of production.  Its irritating every time my Android market freezes, and the fact that all my Android apps update a billion times/week to accomdate 50 versions of the OS.

And sure, Jobs could have moved operations out of China for better working conditions.  However, I would tend to blame China for the poor working conditions in China.  Or maybe blame the US for not incentivizing manufacturing to stay domestic.

10 years ago, we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash.  Now we have no Jobs, no Hope, and no Cash.

It's true though. Jobs wasn't as revolutionary as he's made out to be, he just knew how to compromise his stated ideals to turn a buck. :shrug:

I'm not so sure.  The iphone transitioned everyone to smartphones and the mobile internet.  I think that's huge.  In fact, as I said previously, I think the transition to the "smartphone" being commonplace is as significant as the mass production of the PC.

In a few years, our lives will be as ingrained to the smartphone as they are the computer.  I see it as a good thing.

I refuse to buy a smart phone until they bring out a decent one.

These things out right now are really cool and enticing, but they're pieces of shit. They're designed to break. I want to be able buy a smart phone and then not have to worry about buying another fucking smart phone for a very long time. I also want to have full control over its interface. Fuck this Apple bullshit where you have to get their permission to do anything with something you bought. It's like they think they're leasing it to you or something. I guess they kind of are, considering it's almost guaranteed to break in time for the next model to come out.

The Androids are better but not by much.

I don't know man, it hasn't been long since they came out. When I'm holding one of those things I can feel that a single whack would be game over. It's not hard to tell if a piece of consumer electronics is durable.

Tell me it's still working in five years, THEN I'll be sold.

so it's the products fault for not being idiot proof?

it's called buying a case, and taking good care of your things :facepalm:

my mom bought an iphone when they first came out. She recently upgraded to iphone 4, but her original iphone looked like she just took it out of the box.

You sir, are a tard.

No, I lead an active life. Fuck delicate consumer electronics. I don't want to have to keep up with my gadgets, they have to keep up with me. I'm the fucking consumer, dammit!  :kingcrankey:

Until I find a smart phone that can take the same abuse as my laptop and my stupid phone, I simply will not jump on that bandwagon. It's a trendy waste of money and it's downright hostile toward the environment to buy cheap shit that will break.

That's just stupid. I treat my laptop and my phone like shit and they work just fine. Why should I buy a smart phone, at all? What is a good reason? Why should I have to spend my time mothering a piece of supposed breakthrough technology? It can't do anything I can't already do with sturdier, cheaper technology. I think you're just brainwashed by trendy bullshit.
