The OCD label is pretty ironic...

You people have no idea what OCD really is. It's not only you but the people around here who label themselves as having OCD.
It is a truly horrible affliction to have to deal with and if you really knew what it was I would expect you to stop using the label immediately.
Please educate yourselves a bit more to avoid insulting and wrongly labeling members.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
thank you for posting. i hear the term misused all the time online and in real life. i think what people mean to say is that they are anal.
OCD - think Howard Hughes...
Boy that was a strange guy....I saw either a movie, or made for TV documentary about him OCD doesn't even come close.....Just goes to show, all the money in the world won't necessarily bring happiness.
Uh no, not quite the definition for OCD.
With obsessive-compulsive disorder, you may realize that your obsessions aren't reasonable, and you may try to ignore them or stop them. But that only increases your distress and anxiety. Ultimately, you feel driven to perform compulsive acts in an effort to ease your stressful feelings.
Like compulsively buying/returning a dozen iPads and posting dozens of times about screen tint.
This isn't akin to perfectionism. This is a mental issue.
Thank you for posting. It seems a lot of people like to throw around the abbreviation without even knowing what it is. I agree with you, if people knew whatnot was they wouldn't be throwing it around so loosely.

Yeah, I guess your probably right. The Internet is where we encourage people to be ignorant.
There is a certain irony that people are OCD about even the definition of OCD. Or not OCD about it, depending on the definition lol.
He wasn't just picky and he wasn't just a "marketer".
He had great leadership skills, intuition(sense of what is next) and he knew how a good product feels.
As stated above you're confusing OCD and perfectionist. The latter is a double edged sword that can cut both ways. One data point does not make a trend. There are plenty of perfectionists for whom it is a negative trait (see all the threads you're referring to). Therefore, no irony.
That really crosses the line. You can't predict a disease like this or how it will effect your body. Some beat it and some don't. He fought it the best he could and loss. If anything, it should show that this disease isn't prejudice. Here is a man with more money than most and had the means for the best treatments possoble and still couldn't beat it. Your comment is out of line.
There's people complaining about iPads, people complaining about people complaining about iPads, and then there's your post: people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about iPads.
oh please. he did all the BS alternative mumbo jumbo therapy before attempting real medicinal cures. by then, it was too late. yes, you're right that he had all the money in the world and could have been cared for by the best doctors in the world, but he chose not to. for a man who had so much "insight," he couldn't even look beyond his own ignorance.
has nothing to do with respect giov. the man is gone, so i really don't think he cares what any of us has to say.
Do you really think 'respect for the deceased' is done away with by saying 'dead people can't hear me, what's the problem'?
It has to do with the fact that they can't rebut anything you say about them (however unlikely they might have been able to do so while alive) and the fact that their family and friends are still around to hear you talk about them. I'm amazed that this could be lost on someone.
