Oh the Apple Maps app comment is SOoooooo original. How did you ever come up with it?

That's what I love about Apples fans. Say something in jest or an outright criticism and they get all defensive and snarky.

Thanks for being Jackass of the Day!

 

[Hawkeye411]

I miss you Steve.

^^^ Don't be pathetic

I miss Steve too and your a donkey!!

 

[APPLENEWBIE]

I love beautiful boats...

and that ain't one.

Sorry, but it's not. Want to see beautiful boats? Pick up any issue of Wooden Boat Magazine... You won't find a picture of S. Jobs boat in there.

 

[TroyBoy30]

One ugly boat

 

[frozen220]

iMacs...

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and I know I'll probably get blasted for saying it, but how much you wanna bet all that software to run the ship is running on Windows?

Just sayin...

Come on, not very Canadian, eh?

 

[InfoTime]

Originality is bought by the ones with the most lawyers and pre-existing wealth.

Yes, because everyone knows that Steve and Woz had more lawyers and pre-existing wealth than say, oh I don't know, .... IBM?

Well, if it's the release build of 8 that I have been using for a bit, the Sea Trials will be long. Metro or Mouse, Metro, or Mouse. Steep learning curve.

i am willing to bet your $20 it runs on linux or unix.

This yacht could NOT have been designed by Steve Jobs. It is not thin enough and there are too many I/O ports!! I dare say that this is the yacht of the evil Google emperor trying yet again to imitate SJ......

It's not, it was designed by a ship designer.

 

[akm3]

I t it was ugly at first...but it's kind of growing on me. I might buy the next revision.

 

[RVdave]

The Jobs zillion dollar yacht is launched, an employee is paid two million a month to stay, billions of dollars of sales, etc., etc. Oh, BTW, you'll have to pony up another $30 to connect your latest Apple offering to all the peripherals you bought for your previous Apple version. My condolences to the PR folks, you have some challenging times ahead. The cracks are starting to appear!

 

[AidenShaw]

On the outside one could make that it is actually more Asian, or Buddhist in design.

The interior layout is very minimalistic, very Zen like. Mr. Wright was a minimalist. One could easily describe the yacht as a minimalist design, IMO.

Just saying.

You're talking about the ship, right?

Since I doubt that you've been inside Laurene's Santa Rita home to comment on its decor.

 

[JAT]

Like destroying the teachers' unions by funding studies/charter schools that rely on standardized tests no one believes in. Thank you Gates Foundation for helping kill off extra-curriculars, trades and the arts!!!

Hold on a sec'. You are saying charter schools are ruining schooling? You obviously haven't looked at the standard public schools.

Yes I know. I was just being sarcastic in my post. Bill & Melinda have done amazing things. One of the greatest, is the example they set for their peers like Larry Ellison, who is another selfish narcissist in the image of Steve Jobs.

Example? Like, wait until you've been sued by govts for monopolistic behavior and are at least a $50billionaire before deciding to do stuff for other people?

Yeah, Ellison and Jobs are right on that.

Bill Gates was never sued. And Jobs is dead.

And it seems that Jobs bought a boat instead of doing stuff for other people.

 

[gorillapimping]

not made of liquidmetal. 2/10 would not own

 

[sososowhat]

Nine months from now we can expect them to replace the yacht with one that's mechanically just the same, but 20% thinner.

 

[brewno]

I know we are all Apple's fans and all, but for a moment I thought MacRumors had become a People's magazine. Who cares about his yatch? I came here for Apple's stuff. Stuff I can buy.

Well, obviously. He only got to about $8b, not 50. Wasn't time, per the "example".

In other word, Jobs was a loser?

 

[mentaluproar]

why iMacs? Wouldn't iPads be more appropriate in that setting?

 

[Bubba Satori]

I miss Steve too and your a donkey!!

You're.
I guess Apple should do grammar to make it easier to use.

 

[macs4nw]

That thing is sooooooo fugly.

It's not my taste either; no 'curb appeal'. If it wasn't white, it would almost look like a submarine. STARCK won't be designing MY yacht, LOL. But taste of course is very subjective, WE don't have to like it.

It must be a sad day for Laurene and the children.
Wonder if she'll sell it; this yacht is going to be a lot of sad memories for them.
