SELL SELL SELL!

Cmon rid really? What you work for, loser microsoft? Jobs doesnot have many days to live n thats very unfotrunate.

Steve Jobs was probably the first CEO who agreed upon $1 salary amidst self-serving Wall Street CEOs legally robbing their own company by colluding with their board members with a firm backing from some sleazy lawyers. The stock options compensation is a fairer way to incentivize the business leaders of publicly-traded companies as was true in Apple's case instead of awarding tens of millions of dollar take home pays. Neither the Gautam Buddha nor Albert Einstein had to attain advanced degrees from Harvard in order to achieve what they did. Pioneering business achievement comes not just from lifelong learning and hands-on experience but also with one-of-a-kind imagination and keen eye for economic feasibility.
From a company at the brink of collapse to one of the world's most valuable companies, Steve Jobs' leadership has been a case of truth being more incredible than fiction. Arguably, Steve's departure from the helm of Apple can truly be called End of an Era in the contemporary business world.

@ Nas bro...... soul searching ???my view:::...all of those chinese workers work for an independent company like Foxconn or Wintek which makes things for apple...that doesnt exonerate apple, nor it makes it directly responsible either bro!!!!and yes!! those workers signed the paper saying they would work extra hours!!! and its the responsibility of the Foxcon company too and Chinese government too!!! u cant say Steve was solely responsible for those death!!! so if i died working 48 hrs straight in job!! so is it my fault or shud my boss be held responsible!!! ?? nas bro!! STop watching too many conspiracy theories ---u seem to blame everyone all the time!!! however kudos to some of your thoughts!!!!u fail to see the both sides of the coin!!!
P.S !!m not a steve job fanboy!!!lol i like woz and linux torvalds....

@Rid, that's what I was going to write.
I've never ever seen the shittiest phone ever than iPhone and the ppl who use it are with little brain dorks who don't want to think a lot. 
But he's dying and I would not say any bad words to anyone dying, be it my enemy or friend.

This is a proven fact, Mr. Bill Gates a great human, who has set up a foundation in our country and several other countries in need to support healthcare and stuff. His philanthropical karma has surpassed all his monopolistic actions. And, yes,
statistically,
-the world still uses PC with Windows( more 80%)
-Android is the No. 1 mobile platform( iPhone??? it's locked and it's dead in coming years)

Am still sorry to see Steve is dying like that. Poor guy,.

I'm so proud that I'm still untouched by any of his so called innovations which is nothing more than hype to me.

@bittertruth:::: can we know the reasons what makes Iphone the shittiest phone ??? lmao!! have you ever used a window phone ??? i bought windows phone hd7 and switched the other day!!!its a pain in ass!!!!yes and i have used android phones like galaxy S... hd2 and couple others!!!!well they aint great either!!!lol i could make a whole list where android sucks and iphone too!!! its not like one system is completely flawless!!!! you have to look at both sides!! and the UI is much better in iphone and the overall user experience is great!! Iphone is Closed and Android is open.....or do you think Android Marketplace is greatly managed ??lol!! its total crap!!!! so you are not touched by any of apple's innovation ??? lol i m assuming here you are using a Zune player... aren't u ??lol!!!! and yes!!!! we know PC has much market share than Apple!!! and dont forget to subtract all those POS devices that are in States!!!!Well,, don't forget Apple is the biggest company in the world now....bigger than Exxon!!!!!!and Android is the no1 mobile platform coz u can find android phones in every major carrier!!! here's a good news for you!!! Sprint and T-mobile are rumored to be offering iphones from September!!!!and yes they are coming with cheap iphones too!!!! well, m personally waiting for the mango update from Windows!!!! if they come with front face camera and skype integration and some nice apps!!! definitely getting a hd7!! but now accept it !! your windows platform is crap!!!! and dont forget OSx and linux are considered the best system and respected by tech-savvy people!!!!!!and yeah believe it not !!! Microsoft monopoly was the main reason they made shit load of money!!!!!and HP is going out of Pc Business lol!!!!!and yeah mircosoft does make third grade products!!!!Bill should have spent more money on innovation !!!!i guess you are posting this using Internet Explorer lmao!!!

NEw world order??? lmao!!!! ahh old conspiracy theories!!!! serves as good time pass sometimes when bored at work!!!!

 Apple hardly needs another advocate, if any, but it is what it is.  All the haters should do some due dilligence.  They can start here, market's perspective:

http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/makes-apple-cool-202944316.html

 I have windows 7 laptop and iphone 4 as my phone and i'm happy with it...so yall trollz whining here i dont give a shit to ya opinion....

Nas dude:

Reading all your other posts, I was convinced that you are just a person who blindly believes the kind of  news that "sounds like it would upset what many people believe and put their faith in", and now, I still am convinced that you are delusional :) 

That photo of steve jobs looking frail was posted by TmZ a TABLOID not a NEWSPAPER. If you are getting all your cock-and-bull stories from TABLOIDS and believing them to be your whacky end-of-all-humanity bs please snap out of it. Someone on reddit.com has exposed how that picture of Steve jobs is fake.

Get a life.


And to add to the general discussion here are my opinions :

Apple products have very well thought out and well designed software and hardware both. And they work seamlessly. That is because both hardware and software are managed by the same company. NO OTHER COMPANY DOES THIS. Google recently has tried with its CR-somenumber netbook (running ChromeOS) but its been off the news lately. The reason it got really popular, I believe, is because it is so damn easy and intuitive to use. Especially for people from non tech background; lets face it people, we in the tech industry might like to believe that we run the world, but its everyone else EXCEPT us who run it. Its popular with people who are not GEEKS :) AND to top things off, it is flexible enough to allow us geeks and nerds to do our stuff without the OS getting in the way too much.

Thus, you can't really hate a company like Apple for creating innovation and competetion.

That being said there are some company policies that deserve to be guillitoned. How about I buy my iProduct and 4 months later they come out with a newer better one rendering my iProduct obsolete. Or the famed Apple Tax which basically locks you down to their platform and then proceeds to buttrape you in the form of pretty nice packages and covers and tunes. Or lastly the fact that every now and then they go over-the-board with their cold war-esque patent building. This makes it harder for other devs/inventors to proceed with their ideas.

In the end it boils to the money and the time. If you have the money - buy a Mac. If you don't have the time to understand all-things-geek and not really interested in learning an OO programming construct just so you can read WSJ in a browser you just created, buy a Mac.

If you wanna tinker with the full potential of what your hardware is going to offer you, or want to know more about what makes your computer tick, DONT BUY A MAC! Get a cheap desktop and install linux. But you already knew that!

Darshan!

 And now don't come with shit that Hurricane Irene is a part of New World Order also.....

 @alece, you directly addressed me so, I'm focusing this say towards you.. 
My brother uses iPhone and I use Android Droid X. I also have android tablet and I do reviews on tech gadgets.
I've used before Windows Mobile, Symbian OS, Sony Ericsson OS, and second generation cell phones back in the days.

I'm not an ardent fan of any technology goliath, but I can't stand those companies which rip you off right under your nose. 
Apple is one of em. I don't want to cramp all the borrowed stuffs from search engines reasoning over here, you are welcome
to do it at your own. 

Microsoft brought the true PC to every home and it's the pioneer on that. Before Apple whatever it was, it's mastermind didn't really
help to bring the computer to masses, Bill Gates did some stuffs which shaped the future of computer and here we are today, 
overclocking, customizing, modding computer at our will. I'm an advocate of free will and with that spirit on, I can enjoy, tinker 
every aspect of computer on my wish. You try that on MAC and share even a single, one single experience to me, I'll stop using 
computer. This is the reality, my friend. 

I nkow you love apple because the iphone you use is very easy to use. It's so easy even a grandma can use it. Yeah, I agree it is easy but It can't give you what an android phone can give and like I said earlier, people don't wanna bother with technical stuffs and to me who don't want to use their brain, they are dork to me. So, every dork's favorite is apple iphone, because it's easy to use. Grandmas and elderlies are exception. :D I can do magic with my droid x. I tried to do with my brother's iphone, it was kind of stiff, locked.. lifeless to me. 

and, HP is not going out of business, it's just changing it's business model. The way you put your judgement reveals you are under 20, raw analysing power with combative attitude. I beg your pardon if you are not under 20 but if you are over 30, you need your psyche evaluation done. No ridicule intended.

  giordano, in your lifetime ever, you see the news about contacts with other intelligence , please please remember me, because geophysic experiment is valid and could be real. 
before you are thinking to tag me as the bunch of conspiracy theorists, you should be labeling that to famous theoritical physicist Michio Kaku, as well as profound Prof Steven Hawking. Because, these physicists with so many other group of scientists have similar thought that anytime soon we could make contact. 
I'm not backing up irene, new world order, shits but rather some inevitable possibilities. 

 @bittertruth,

I have seen videos where they say even Mr. Kaku is a part of NWO ... I mean seriously...these people r a total BS but they don't know we r more smarter then they think they are....so take it easy and take a chil pill and enjoy hurricane Irene....

 okay, I'm dismayed to learn your attitude towards Dr. Michio Kaku. Do you even know who he is? 
He will be regarded as prominent as Albert Einstein in the book of the history. 
He has devised the theory which is being regarded as of immense importance in the  physics world today. 
I simply can't believe how some people could be so ignorant as you are taggin him a part of NWO. 
What is NWO for you? to me, some skeptics worrying about a world becoming a one world government tyranny. 
And, how the hell NWO is even linked to Dr. Michio Kaku. 
You just expressed how dumb you are by saying you are smarter than smartest.

Play your idea what could be quantum entanglement.. lol.. think you are smarter.. :D

 dude u f**king high or wat?

The people i am saying BS is to the one who consider him to be part of NWO.....

And for f**k sake i dont beleive in this shit called NWO....those r for alex jones followers....

 ha ha ha.. so, some punctuation error.. I believe..
I apologize 
here is what I got from my perspective,"
I have seen videos where they say even Mr. Kaku is a part of NWO ...
here I felt you were supporting those videos where Dr. Kaku is part of conspiracy..

I mean seriously...these people r a total BS
here I felt Mr. Kaku and the team are BS

but they don't know we r more smarter then they think they are....so take it easy and take a chil pill and enjoy hurricane Irene....
and here, you know what I mean. 


Once again, I apologize for the misunderstanding. :D 
but, if it were ,
" I have seen videos where they say even Mr. Kaku is a part of NWO ... I mean seriously...those videos r a total BS but they don't know we r more smarter then they think they are....so take it easy and take a chil pill and enjoy hurricane Irene...."

would have changed the whole concept.. 

anyway bro, take it easy
