Why are you being rude? Why don't you start your own thread and bash Jobs and Apple all you want?
It's the
truth--jobs was a crappy human being. What kind of man has sex w/a woman and then tries to deny that her child is his even
after she takes a paternity test?
What kind of man sees no problem w/young people being worked to death in horrid conditions to assemble his products? And then has the audacity to market them as
novel innovations when in fact they weren't.
In fact,
given that fact, there is, for all practical purposes,
no difference between jobs and someone like Phil Knight, w/the exception of Apple's silly Reality Distortion Field, i. e. the notion that worshiping and/or owning an iProduct somehow makes one a "rebel."
FYI, at the time iPod was still at the peak of its popularity, South Korean digital music players were already far more advanced, supporting multiple open formats such as FLAC and OGG, and there were already several music stores that
did not require downloading an overbloated piece of software just to buy from it. And apparently, typing
cp ./*.mp3 /mnt/usbdrive/
at a prompt instead of waiting for iTunes to load up just isn't cool enough for you, is it?
By the way, for those interested, CNBC is doing the Apple story and Guy Kawasaki is featured.
Wow, another unbiased source
