This is Steve Jobs we're talking about, not the messiah. There's not much that can be said about him nowadays that will change my opinion of him.
[Edit]
Oh, and his pancreatic cancer was very much treatable when he was diagnosed. It only became terminal after he wasted months thinking he could cure himself using herbs.

You missed the point. You’re acting inhumane just to argue. This is why I stopped visiting CP for years. And it also why I have nothing in common with a lot of peeps here.

Ah, yes, the Church of Jobs, I forgot all about it, and the fact that it's blasphemous for some people to say anything less than stellar about him.
Sorry, but guys like him just bring out the worst in me.
I'm done if you are.

I think you’re acting immature and ridiculous. You’re inhumane and hiding behind a fake screen name, like most little online warriors.
I don’t want you replying to me with this filth. I’m made it clear on CP more than once I’m tired of these immature replies.
Yet you lack self-awareness. So here you are wasting my time while you’re being inhumane.
Just leave me alone “dandy”. This is ridiculous the sheer amount of immaturity I have to endure just to be around people into tech.

Y'know, I'm fine with the personal attacks, but I'll just point one thing out:
If you think I'm being "inhumane" because of words on a screen, words being exchanged in a conversation, online, you're really trivializing what happened to people who were actually subjected to inhumane treatment.
You don't have to "waste your time" or "endure" anything because of me. It's easy enough to stop a thread. I just wanted to make this one last point, as I had already said I was ready to put an end to this rather pointless conversation.
I'm curious to find out whether you are.

You’re inhumane. One day, if you ever get cancer and give a profound speech I hope you never meet someone like you.
Until that time… leave me alone.

And of course he replied. You are not the only one he responds to in this manner.

IKR?
I told him I was ready to put an end to this thread twice. He kept responding. Somehow I'm the one wasting his time but he's the one who kept the thread going.
He secretly enjoyed the conversation, no doubt about it.
[Edit]
And re-read the whole thread. He wasted no time to get onto the personal attack, apparently because of my blasphemy against St-Jobs...
It's a cult, when you care so much about someone you don't know, never met, and whose life you haven't affected in any way, shape or form.

Yep. So intelligent but not very wise.

Seems that some managers make the same assumption. I was just reading a blog about this earlier today:
The Worst Programmer I Know
Steve Jobs was a micromanager, luckily he was good at it.

Totally agree some managers do. There are blind and foolish people all over.
My main beef with all of this isn’t that jobs was flawed. He was. Very much so. I probably wouldn’t want to work from him. Dunno. Never met him in person.
My beef is that on CP people never say anything positive. There’s always something hateful by someone… dude can’t even die of cancer without immature people here being hateful.

I read these posts to learn something. Unfortunately, flaming others in posts is easier than sharing useful information and ideas. Thanks for not permitting a bad post to silence your replies. Steve Jobs accomplished something that nobody else can ever do. He created Apple. Others can create something like Apple, but not Apple.

Oh btw… wasn’t referring to your post. This thread was already derailed.

Jobs may have been a visionary (seeing possibilities eg ipod, mac, ipad and so on, and guiding others toward accomplishing them for him), but hardly a genius. That word has become so overworked now as to be approaching meaningless. Genius is so much more than above average intelligence.

Btw, before you insult the intelligence of someone else, may wanna sure you don't double post.

Ok, then you go do what he did. See how easy it is.

Accomplishing something challenging doesn't make you a genius. Nor does accomplishing something that would be beyond oneself.
As I wrote, the word is so overworked and misused it is becoming meaningless.

It’s time you left me alone. I don’t need your hate in my life.

Now you're being silly. I just said the word "genius" is overworked, and by any sane definition of the word Jobs wasn't a genius. Mozart was, Newton was, Hawkins was. But that's my opinion, yours is clearly different, but to regard an opinion that differs from yours as "hate" is just immature.

You can think what you want. Your opinion means nothing. You don't understand the derailment. You are acting hateful.

Judging by your responses I don't think you are an actual human being. If you are, you have a lot to learn about life.

Dude this is a month old. I don't care at all what you think. You're not self-aware. Go away. You don't belong around people.
