Happy Birthday's 2006

[MacRumors]

http://www.macrumors.com/images/macrumorsthreadlogo.gif (http://www.macrumors.com)

Today marks the Steve Jobs' 51st birthday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs) and MacRumors.com's 6th birthday.

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 and later co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak in 1976. Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985, but later returned in 1997 after Apple bought NeXT (also founded by Jobs). Steve Jobs is Apple's current CEO.

MacRumors.com began on February 24, 2000 as a site to consolidate interesting rumors and news surrounding Apple.

Happy birthday MacRumors..and Steve :p

[Chundles]

And it's my 24th later this year....

Happy Birthday SJ and MR - the combined cause of my dismal performance at Uni and the current emptiness of my wallet. May you continue to work your magic...

[Ja Di ksw]

Did MacRumors start on today b/c of Steve's bday?

More importantly, Did Steve send Arn a birthday card or e-mail? :)

[jsw]

Cool. But... I felt like I'd been here for quite a while until I read that. Now... I feel like a newbie. Six years - wow. And still going strong! Congrats!

[kretzy]

I already posted this in another Steve Jobs' birthday thread, but I wonder if his cake will look like this?

(Just pretend the 40 is a 51)

Happy Birthday to both Steve and MR!

[grapes911]

Was MR purposely launched on Steve Job's B-day or is it merely coincidence?

[_bnkr612]

Happy Birthday MR. Good on ya!

Steve, what did you want for your birthday? Did you say an Apple iCast with 1 TB of storage and blueray?

Cool.

[Peace]

Happy Birthday Steve and MacRumors!!

[Kingsly]

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday SJ and MR - the combined cause of my dismal performance at Uni and the current emptiness of my wallet.
Don't forget lack of sleep and never-before-seen obsessive compulsive behavior (I cannot start my day w/o clicking MR)

[shrimpdesign]

Happy Birthday! I'd give you both a present ... but I'm saving up for whatever Apple releases Tuesday. That will be my early birthday.

[sartinsauce]

Should this really be on Page Two?

I mean, can't you confirm his birthday? Or MR's birthday?

Unconfirmed rumors. Face it, page two is what MacRumors is really about. The super-speculative fun stuff.

Happy Birthday all!

Happy Birthday to both Steve and MR!
...and pretend Steve Jobs' name is Tony. :)

BTW: Happy Birthday!

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 and later co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak in 1976.
Isn't it a bit redundant to state that he co-founded Apple after his birth? It's not like he could have done it before he was born.:cool:

[pknz]

Happy birthday Mr Jobs and MacRumors.

[Chundles]

Happy Birthday!

Oh yeah, do you know what time the event on Tuesday starts here?

4am Wednesday morning. Other members will vouch for me being online up until the site goes to "live" mode and then ASAP afterwards. Problem is, this time I have a 2 hour marketing lecture at 8:30am Wednesday morning

[MrSmith]

Well, my name isn't Steve or Tony or MR and I won't be 6, 40 or 51 this year. BUT I do have a Birthday this year. What are the chances of that?

Do I win 5 pounds?

[BlueRevolution]

Isn't it a bit redundant to state that he co-founded Apple after his birth? It's not like he could have done it before he was born.:cool:

I could've.

pshaw!

happy birthday to both. I wish you both many more years of feeding my consumeristic bliss.

[ReanimationLP]

Happy birthday Steve, MR, and Hawk of Applegeeks.

You think you've got it bad? The 28th is my baby brother's scheduled delivery date (via c-section) and Im more worried about weather there's AirPort in the hospital lobby! Good to see I've got my priorities straight. :D

Happy Birthday, you two! Don't drink too much!

[Balli]

Happy birthday MacRumors, and many happy returns. You are one of my favourite sites on the web!

Happy birthday MR, you do good work.

Congrats MR and Happy Birthday Steve! :)

and that it reads "steve" instead of "tony" ;)

[solvs]

I had a really funny pic that said "I didn't know what to get you for your Birthday, so here's a bunny with a pancake on it's head", but now I can't find it. Ah well, Happy Birthday anyway.

Couldn't find the birthday one, but I think is what you mean :)

[macOSX-tastic]

haha, i love that picture......happy birthday steve and MR....ive only been here for just 13 months, but it is by far the best, friendliest and dynamic internet forum i have ever posted on.


HBD!

S

[ibook30]

Happy birthday MR !
You too Steve!

[thedude110]

Ugh. I hate it when some nitwit at work comes up to me with a birthday card "I have to sign" for some other nitwit I don't know.

And now here I am, trying to sign a birthday card for a website.

So, let's see.

There's "Happy Birthday," but everyone always says that.

I could do the pancake bunny, but looks like someone already did that about an hour ago.

Maybe I should make some other kind of "in joke" -- the kind of joke that's just between MR and me, like "Remember that time I kept compulsively hitting new posts so I didn't have to grade that next paper?" But, ugh. Inside jokes, you know?

I could say "Hope all of your wishes come true," so if MR is smart it will know I'm being ironic, and if MR is stupid it will think I'm being nice ... that seems to cover all the bases. Unless MR is smart enough to know that I'm trying to dupe stupid people ...

Crap.




"Happy Birthday MR! Terry in the English Department."

God I hate signing these things ...

Happy Birthday to both Steve and MR. Collectively advising me of, and providing me with, the products to empty my wallet since Jan 2005.

[crees!]

Friday birthday's rock!

[shadowmoses]

Friday birthday's rock!

Tru Dat....anyway Happy Birthday Steve and MR you've both given us alot of pleasure!!!

[sartinsauce]

Oooh! I just realized I can go across the street to the Beverly Center Apple Store!


I see we're in the same neighborhood. You know, it amazes me that there is a store at the Beverly Center and one at the Grove. That's like six blocks from one Apple Store to the next. I use the one at the Grove (I work behind the Grove). How much business does the Beverly Center Store do?

[foniks2020]

And I've got the money for a MBP! If only the Apple Stores will get some in stock today my wife and I will be buying one later today (*crosses fingers*).

Unfortunately we didn't have enough to pre-order at the time and are avoiding credit altogether until our wedding bill is paid off completely... ah but it's still exciting to know I'll be getting one soon.

Also the wonderful wife got me a 30in. HD Cinema for Christmas so I'll be Mac'ing in style in a very short while!

So, Happy Birthday Steve-o, I'll be thinking of you when I'm at the Apple store later today.


And happy b-day MacRumors... you've given me lots of joy over the last few years...

p.s. Anyone know if there are any b-day specials at Apple stores?

[dcv]

Well it just goes to show, all the best people have their birthdays in February ;) :D

Happy Birthday MacRumors!

[kretzy]

I'm assuming you mean Steve Jobs? :p

[DickArmAndHarT]

Well, my name isn't Steve or Tony or MR and I won't be 6, 40 or 51 this year. BUT I do have a Birthday this year. What are the chances of that?

Sorry, im so american, sad really,

I had to give that a second take. check you location lol



and Hmm coincidence, i think not

[Mitch1984]

Happy Birthday Steve jobs & Mac Rumors!

[joepunk]

Happy Birthday MR and Steve

[maestro55]

Well it just goes to show, all the best people have their birthdays in February

I thought all the best people have their birthdays in June? Or atleast that is when I have mine :p

Happy birthday Steve and MacRumors.

..and for the Texas History buffs like myself, today in 1836 Travis sent his message asking for help in defending the Alamo. Ending the message with "Victory for Death" :P

Live long and Prosper

[runninmac]

Yay for Steve and MacRumors!!! Happy Birthday! (I feel sort of weird saying it to an online site:cool: )

[m-dogg]

Happy birthday MR - Here's to many more!

[LimeiBook86]

Congrats MacRumors & Steve Jobs! Happy birthday!!!

Here's to many more!! Enjoy! http://homepage.mac.com/ibook238/birthday.html

:D;)

Quite a bit. The BC store is usually pretty busy, though not nearly as packed as the grove (I stopped going there on a regular basis for that reason).
I now split my time between Northrige and BC, sometimes visiting the pasadena or 3rd street ones (if Im in the area)
Thats like six or seven stores within driving distance (counting Century city and Fashion square)!!!! :eek:

[~Shard~]

How did I miss this thread? Regardless, Happy Birthday to MacRumors, one of my favorite sites on the entire IntraWeb! :D

(Oh, and Steve too, however I assume he's probabaly already pretty happy... ;))

[Probie]

I live not even 20 minutes from Steve's house. Do you think I should TP it tonight?

[~Shard~]

Depends how averse you are to jail time I suppose... :p :cool:

[zeebe]

Happy Birthday Steve & MR!!
Check out my little bday tribute to Steve:

Enjoy!

[Kingsly]

You should go over there and leave him a birthday card from all of us @ MR.
Really.

[d_and_n5000]

Happy Birthday, Steve! *and many more!!!* Just remember: One year older, one year wrinklier, right? And TP'ing Steve's house would depend on wether or not his guards let you into the grounds.

[dizastor]

I live not even 20 minutes from Steve's house. Do you think I should TP it tonight?

I think you should drive by and see if he leaves his airport unlocked. That could be a new and lucrative source of rumors. And to think, when they find out where the leak is coming from Steve will have to sue himself.

[bigandy]

being born in this week, steve and i have greatness in our blood. i was born on the 21st so i reckon i'm going to be even greatererererer. :D ;) :rolleyes:

happy birthday MR :)

[iRachel]

Happy Birthday MR and Steve....

Is it a coincidence that they are the same or was MR launched on this date on purpose?

[~Shard~]

It would have been quite the coincidence... :p ;)

Tried it, it is locked. But I can keep trying to password hack it.

[boncellis]

Happy birthday MacRumors, and many happy returns. You are one of my favourite sites on the web!

Completely. As much as I like reading the news about Apple products from around the world on one reliable page, I think it's the posters that make this page a must read. Where else is there this caliber of contributors? Where would I go if it weren't for MacRumors? Where would MacRumors be without Mr. Jobs?

Here's mud in your eye, MR!

[Bubbasteve]

I'm suprised iSteve didn't release something to commemorate his birthday

[jessica.]

Happy Birthday!


Don't forget lack of sleep and never-before-seen obsessive compulsive behavior (I cannot start my day w/o clicking MR)
I somehow relate.
And I am somehow in awe that you're from castic. I've never known anyone to say they're from "castic" they usually say "LA" yanno. ;)

[eXan]

Steve is 51 y old??? :eek:

I thought he is in mid 40s!!!

[BlueRevolution]

AHAH thats wicked

[Moses:SonOfGod]

Yeah, Happy Birthday Steve!
Maybe the announcement on Tuesday is just a birthday party?;)

What do you get someone like SJ for his birthday? Another iPod? A "creative zen"?

[Moses:SonOfGod]

[dernhelm]

Happy birthday MR. You are my first stop most every morning!

[beachboy89]

sorry just joined so this is a belated happy birthday to Macrumors and Steve!!

[twoodcc]

happy bday steve and macrumors!

[fixyourthinking]

While I disagree with some things (especially on the Macbytes side ) ... this is inarguably the best Apple centric forum on the net

[achie25]

Happy B'day!
I am on this site several times a day.
Love it
