Why do people admire Steve Jobs? He was a cruel, demanding control freak.

Yes!

Great post! Thank you!

Success does not necessarily involve great intellect or great position or great wealth; it has to do with inner integrity. Remember that.

I DO NOT HAVE AN AUTISTIC CHILD.

Understand?

I only have read reports and seen documentaries. You know, science stuff. Ever heard of it?

Didn't think so.

And NO, you have not seen people like me. Ever.

Your stunning ignorance and blind hate are truly... not surprising around here. Good riddance.

People have so many views of what success is. Most see success as money, power and control. Those people wouldn't find your kind of success I'm afraid.

Well, I can tell you that they are reading your words right now, because of that frase, I am afraid.

Nothing you have said is "science". Just more propaganda that is complete bullshit. There have not been any scientific studies as to whether a autistic kid benefits from an ipad. Just more crap that has been fed to fools like you.

I'm not even sure most so called autistic kids really are autistic at all! Just a reason to feed disruptive kids more drugs.

Fool.

Good...

I didn't even know he existed or cared until news of his cancer and death.

I don't keep up on techno jerks

That's probably a good way to live. I admire that.

Thanksgiving someone who has worked for him since the start is coming to my home. I will take the opportunity to ask him.

the same reason why people adore celebrities and athletes. some are the worst people ever.

It's so interesting that you say that. I agree completely. I just don't understand it!

Because they didn't know him.

I didn't know him personally but I worked at Apple and stories were legion about his harsh cruelty.

And he was admired for it! That's the sick part.

(OP) If you're still here, I'll explain 'why'
Steve Jobs was a 'inventor.' He had a vision in his mind of what he wanted to put out, & made it happen. Now that Jobs is gone, you wont see any "New Gadget's" come out of Apple. It's over for them. All they will do is upgrade the Phones & Pads, that's it...

They wont 'invent' anything new. Understand what I'm trying to say?!?

And he died a horrible death.


hmmmm

I would love to hear those stories.

Well when I was there it was before i-anything and he was off doing this weird thing called NeXT. Then Apple bought his company and he came back ... wih a vengeance. But in those days he wasn't yet deified and plenty of people just thought he was an ahole.

I think it's a media thing that's grown up around him. People need heros. In the 50s it was war heros. In the 60s it was sports figuers. In the 70s it was rock musicians. Not sure about the 80s & 90s, but in the first decade of the 20th century it's been high-tech inventors.

NO, NO, NO.

That's the MYTH of Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs STOLE inventions, and took credit for them.

Not just individual inventions, but invention and innovations of whole teams of people. And not just from other companies, but from his own company. Brilliant engineers left Apple in a steady stream every single year Jobs was there, out of rage and disgust. He was absolutely shameless, and vicious towards his victims.

Steve Jobs invent something? Shit, he even ripped off Woz!

You know nothing.

The issue here is not his ability to invent new technology. Even though I wonder how much was his idea.

The disgusting traits in him were his complete lack of respect for others. He felt that anything was acceptable to get what he wanted. He had no compassion for others at all.

What I'm talking about is priorities. What is more important? Success, power, money, profit and control or is the real important things in life about love, compassion, caring and friendship. Yes, even in business.

THE WHOLE REASON THAT I STARTED THIS THREAD, is to discuss the idea that people have been tricked into believing that any type of behavior is acceptable in business. That is why the world is in the shape it is in now.

This idea goes all the way back to Henry Ford and Thomas Edison. Anything is acceptable in the desire for a profit.

That is why people are called "human resources". And are considered assets and not people. People are treated as nothing but machines.

I am so sad that so few see this and respect this sick fucker...

Yes, I believe in karma...

The important for everyone here to notice is that Jobs was a poster child for the traits respected by the world elite. If you really want to understand their drive, ambition and their goals, study this maniac.

THE ELITE ARE WHO IS PROMOTING JOBS AS A HERO AND A GOD. They believe that his approach is the answer to our future. This is what they want to whole world to become. And they are VERY close now.

I hope you people listen to what I trying to tell you. We are very close to a worldwide Apple Computer lifestyle. Run with a Steve Jobs mentality.

God help us all...

OP,

You're right. That cruel SOB was one of the richest guys in the world, and into the occult. Didn't help him a bit.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

Now that Apple is the richest stock ever, every company in the world thinks they have to run their companies like Apple to succeed.

Look out, it's going to get worse.

cause deep down inside lots of average monkey people are exactly like steve jobs minus the talent and money

They are psychopaths!

And they are not the problem. The mercenaries in the military, police and "intelligence" agencies are the ones who uphold them, and experiment on/kill us.

because what people admire in this society is a winner - Being #1, climbing to the top of the heap is what they dream about.

That's also the sole function of many movie stars - to allow the public to live vicariously through them, to dream that they are one kicking everyone's ass and saying all the right things.Rock stars same thing.

Jobs was a psychopath. He did not care what was good for the world, only cared about his own dreams. To him, the world was there to be his ottoman. He is the perfect man from the elite' perspective. Ayn Rand would probably consider him something like Jesus.

The guy sucked that SAME week he died another guy died (forgot name) but he was one of the main guys to step us out of coding in binary and into C++ C C# perl python VB.net ect and no one gave a shit...What a pity..

Funny thing is... they all look tough with their public personas, but they all love to be fisted and bossed around by dominatrixes/hustlers.

They are truly pathetic!

And they know it!
