That thing will look like it's standing still while moving. Static, rigid, clumsily proportioned, I don't know where to begin

There you have it. Life is short, and you can't take it with you. Must be sad for his family.
Blimey that ship is using previous gen iMacs. I bet there are iPad 3's in it too #gross

You really think Steve would have to wait until an official launch to have the next model?
Sure hope they have some actual mechanical instruments to run that thing (other than the iMacs). Computers are still far less reliable than true mechanical nautical equipment.
yeah, of course they got paid
but a $49 gift is really cheap
I'd take $49 anyday. It's better then no gift at all. It's not like they are going to give all of the (probably hundreds) of workers $2000 iMacs.
Even sadder is the fact that Steve was so poor he couldn't give back to society.
Even his fellow pauper Bill Gates has given back some of his wealth, oops, I mean pennies.
Steve Jobs goes down in history as an exemplary example of a greedy man.
But hey... he concealed it well. Just like this canoe
You are correct about SJ , but Gates is a full time philanthropist.
Bill Gates gives more to charity than some countries make in a year.
Bill Gates is a good man.
While I have no problem with a hard working person spending their hard-earned money anyway they wish, it depresses me to see frivolous spending of money that came from outsourcing work overseas just to make more profit.
For all you unemployed former Apple employees and factory workers that used to work on Apple products here in the US and have watched your work go to China, a few thousand of your Jobs are right here.
And who decides what's frivolous or not? Btw, most of Steve's billions came from the sale of Pixar to Disney. It's not as if he decided one day lets build our products in China so I can buy myself a big yacht.

So you can only be a good man if you give your money away?
Well... nothing compares to Noah's Ark in our city!
Schapekoppuuh ;-)
(Oh yes, it's quite a sensation to see someone posting on a foreign forum coming from the same city
)
Obviously not. This is where is goes instead. This is where a tiny fraction of our iDevice profits went.
