Bill Burr on Steve Jobs:
![]()
Now, if you do not know his comedy, do not take this literally. Welding an iPhone and "Big Nerd Concert" should tip you off.
"Get on it!"
I love what Steve Jobs has done, and not just at Apple. But I also really love what Tesla did and I can see the difference.
No disrespect is meant.
RIP Steve

I wish only the best for Steve's loved ones and those he left behind, but this thread is somewhat nauseating.
I have zero problem with people expressing their condolences and maybe even some sadness, but many people on this board are treating this man (a man of many flaws, just like the rest of us) like a deity and one person even called him "immortal".
To each his own, I guess, but this whole thread makes me uncomfortable.
That said, Steve was excellent at what he did and, sadly, died too soon.
I can't believe it's been a year already. May your legacy continue to live on. Thank you for making me and my family think different.

That was hilarious. Even Steve would have laughed.
People often mourn the anniversary of the death of people they felt impacted their lives. Every year, Elvis, John Lennon, some prominent athletes, etc. are remembered on the anniversary of their death. And especially on the first anniversary after someone important has been lost, it's a time when people look back on their legacy. No matter what you thought about Steve Jobs, he did leave a legacy behind. Yes, some people go overboard mourning Steve, but come on...look at some of the Elvis fans out there. My point is, it's not just Apple fans that go through this, even though that's what people make it out to be. Because Apple fans are sheep, blah blah blah.
This article came out a couple days after Steve's death, and it does a decent job of explaining why people act like they do. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/07/why-do-we-mourn-celebriti_n_999750.html

Alas, even Steve would forget its existence. Stuffs in heaven are way way waaaaaaaaayyyyy too awesome and perfect.
People with thoughts like this make me uncomfortable.
I can compartmentalize different things in my life. I can spend all night with a TV show on DVD that I like and really enjoy. I will move myself to a world, for example, of 'The Walking Dead' where Zombies are living amongst us. I can feel for the characters, and enjoy the story, and I will not worry myself about some homeless children in the city next to me. FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME.
Just like this thread, I'll use this to remember Steve in my own way, just like I remembered the good times Jim Henson or Johnny Carson brought to me. Just because I don't KNOW someone personally does not mean that can't care and show emotion.
After I spend time with those emotions, I move on. I don't have a shrine to Steve Jobs, but he does hold a special place in my heart, not bigger than my mom, dad, wife, brothers or sisters, or even my dog, but it is a place that matters.
I am used to hearing it at a much slower pace, but this rendition feels much more lively and is fitting for a reflective, upbeat tribute.
This video opened and played automatically when I opened Safari. First I was like .... what the heck .... then i realized it was a message from Apple. Touching video slideshow!
RIP Steve.
RIP Steve.
Home to Einstein of the 21st Century
Steve changed the world in a way that is fundamental to our understanding of design and UI. He truly set the bar, something no one else has been able to even come close to on their own accord.
In my opinion, Steve Jobs is an Einstein of the 21st Century.
Here's a pixel art homage to Steve that took over 4 hours. Worth it!http://www.dotpedia.com/creation/view/2611
