Really, I think anyone who charges 100 dollars for a fucking simple 2GB RAM upgrade deserves cancer IMO. :orly:

:facepalm:

Greed is the most unpunished crime to humanity in the world.

Says the fat bastard. :zoinks:

Steve Jobs is a businessman who is talented in marketing. I may not like a lot of his products and his retarded fanbase but I have to give him respect for using his marketing skills to get computers widespread (and to get people to buy LITERALLY anything).

I thought it was Microsoft that brought computers to the mainstream?

Microsoft quickly overshadowed and became the mainstream, but before that Apple computers were quite popular.

I feel a little bad, actually. He died rather young of something he couldn't control.

It's unsurprising, that last photograph of him looked like he was on verge of death.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

I remember watching a program awhile back that he talked about it. If I remember he got a transplant also.

I believe his 3 youngest children are probably in their teens.  He has one daughter in her 30's.

No more pain. I hope his family finds comfort in this. RIP Steve
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
