Apple Marks One-Year Anniversary of Steve Jobs' Death

R.I.P. Steve, you truly changed the world, and changed it for the better.

Mr. Cook, please remember Steve wanted to "delight" his customers, please don't ever forget that.

Keep the Apple Stores a world class experience providing excellent customer service.

Continue to acknowledge mistakes while working hard to correct them.

Focus on the details, don't accept anything less than excellence.

Here's to another 36 years of greatness!
 
One year ago... wow. :(

I assume everyone here remembers where you were / what you were doing when you first heard the news a year ago.

We all miss him. What a special man.

It still brings tears to my eyes. His legacy will take time to fade, but it will fade. That degree of uniqueness is too complex to be embedded in a culture. We will never know what we missed. When the technology develops and becomes ready for the next big gestalt switch, Steve won't be there to ensure that it happens in a manner that we can all just appreciate. He won't see it, translate it and make it compatible with life.

He wasn't perfect and others have better individual insights, but his holistic vision is now missing. There are few individuals that take the insights of their time and drag an entire civilisation forward. He did that. That is not hyperbole. As with all great people, the reality is more complex and less brilliant that we may romanticise it to be, but he was the only non variable in the equation.

When I think of him I still think WOW. I always will.

Get a grip of yourself man... He's not a God. Yeah he was a genius - but smart people come and go. It was sad, but you never knew him, why are you crying?

I am an african man.

Those people are mourned by their lovers/beloveds. Which means we should love who we love.

Apple did help/contribute to RED, to Japan earthquake and many of Apple engineers are left-leaned liberals.


People were enraged about the seven sister-sponsored carnage all over the world, lately Iraq and Iran is on the corner …

The West for centuries massacred/pillaged the rest of the world, do you think those people hate the West for it?
No, we are humans, love is necessary.

Apple is one of my love, and Steve is its souls, or at least i hope.
To love is not to be ashamed of, and means not having your head up your ass.

Since when Liberals have the monopoly of humanities ( not limited to people who looks like them? )?
OH, since Reagan ( i am with Israel, and i am an ignorant and supporter of the seven sisters )!
 
My Wife Passed away the Year before Steve from Cancer she was 45, today makes me think of both of them taken way too young from their loved ones.

Why then Bugatti Veyron is credited as a creation of the then President of Volkswagen?
And didn‘t Jobs left some patents at Apple?

You mean not the originator, because you stated that he really did leave his input on the things you think make Apple what it is, which is a contradiction.

Why?
• After all what sets Apple apart from the cartel that sells windows PC’s is the WHY the cartel now do anything to clone Apple distinctive design - to blur the space that sets Apple away from their league, attention to detail.

I do not see a contradiction.

I said he did not invent the items that made Apple what it is, but he did have tons of input in the products Apple made. He put together technology that already existed in new and exciting ways. He changed the face of several industries (Computers, music distribution, Mobile phones, etc) but did not actually invent the items at the center of those changes and forced other companies to try and play catch-up: mp3 players already existed, but he and his team made a much better one. Touch screen phones already existed but he and his team made a much better one, etc.

You can have a lot of input on something without being the inventor. I am not taking anything away from the man. I call him a genius. Apple would not be able to do what they did without this one person.

I'll gladly take the word Liberal as a label if it means I care about Humanity. Why is this something I should be ashamed about, those that don't care have something to be ashamed about.
 
Spare me your b/s about the company or how we don't remember other iconic figures like we should, I'm here today talking about Steve, not anyone else. He was a visionary, a tyrant most definitely. He did some bad things to people, but he changed how we view technology and how we use it. Regardless of how you feel about competitors, the last decade has been a race to catch up to Apple. I don't view the man as a god, but I do view him as one of the greatest contributors to technology this world has known. So, from me, thanks Steve.

That's your personal judgement, as was my comment. Go on about your day, not all of us agree, yeah? I'm not ashamed of myself. I saw my share of effed up stuff in the military. Did you ever serve? If not, you have nothing to say to me, because I stood up to protect people like those in the image, and I most certainly did. I volunteered to be counted among those who MAKE a difference, not just TALK about making a difference.

Do not take me wrong.
What i was intended to discuss is What is being innovative is all about.
I even put your comment in italic.

Look at this example:

Gyroscopes existed in the ancient world, now it is used to stabilize satellites, and Hubble Space Telescope’s mirror was made the same way the mirror of the telescope Galileo used to watch the sun.
The battery existed in ancient Persia, and today batteries use the same concept, only materials are other.

Aren’t those : A satellite, the electronic ( uses the same concept as the ancient mechanic ones )/ modern mechanic-gyroscope aren’t innovations, despise the fact both are based on overused/ancient concepts?

Innovation is not ( perhaps never ) linear.
 
Terminology of this news posting is off

If only for the fact that Steve Jobs was apparently Buddhist by philosophy a "Death Anniversary" might be appropriate, how-ever the term anniversary and death is not one commonly used and certainly does not pay respect to the passing of an individual.

How about the one year 'memorial' of his death (or passing). Much more eloquent, wouldn't you say?
 
RIP Steve, apple just doesn't feel the same without you, and personally Tim Cook doesn't even come close to being half the man you were.

What do you accomplish by posting this? Are you helping with the problems in Africa? Do you go over there and volunteer? I doubt you do, so I would stop your lil tangent now and get over it. If you care so much how people in Africa, I suggest you start up a non-profit or join one and get over there and make a difference. Then come back here and tell us about it.

There has to be one in every crowd :rolleyes:

Doesn't matter if you're a liberal or conservative, you can still care about humanity.

The tribute makes me sad because it's a reminder of what was lost.

Was Steve a yogi? He's doing a Lotus position with that computer.

Ever since my first Apple device in the late 80s (well, actually an Apple //e clone from Brazil), I have perceived the company's "driven by design" principle as its main hallmark of uniqueness.

In my legal work I always strive for perfectionism, but this OFTEN leads to frustration. Why? Because most people settle for less instead of more. They don't care about form, consistency or homogeneity, when de facto results are mainly defined by political agendas. You see stakeholders approving crap when crap could be avoided.

And this is why I have Steve in such high regard: he would not accept less than the best, even when his measure of what "best" meant not always led to huge commercial successes or perfect products.

What mattered most to him was this: he believed in something and was ready to defend it until proven wrong. As for me, I will continue to check every single comma in a boring legal paper, even if most don't care about it.

Thanks and may you be resting in peace, Sir.
