Nothing says "cult" like continuing to worship Jobs.
Quite a legacy, including a lot of practices and dirty laundry that continue to haunt the company.
Congrats to this site from one of its "several" readers.
I guess back in the day the so-called buying guides were a little shorter. Hopefully less frequent.

Seriously, you can't see how the birthday of the co-founder of Apple, and the anniversary of MacRumors might be of interest to MacRumors readers?
Thanks for posting this. Since I can't down vote anymore at least I can up vote posts criticizing stupid posts.
The minute I sat down in front of a Mac my life changed forever. I made real money for the first time and got to see the world and truly went beyond anything I could have imagined. Thanks Steve!
I liked Steve Jobs and all he did for music, digital animation, computers, and phones. But is seems just a little weird to post happy birthday messages to someone that is dead. Maybe it's just me.
Still, I do agree with all the positive memories being posted.
His achievements will continue to impact the industries for years to come.

Ironically last night I was just browsing YT for random BS, and then just randomly I thought to myself "I wanna watch the SJ iMac 1998 keynote (because I think it's kinda funny and cool)." So I watched that and a few other videos. I did not know it was his birthday until I came here and I had not watched a SJ keynote in quite a while.
You are correct. It's something I've spent a fair amount of time contemplating and it breaks my heart.
Enabling people to find and do what they love ought to be of higher importance in our education systems and in our culture.
An individual doesn't need to change the world (or make a ding in the universe, as Steve would have said) to make their work matter. So long as what you do is important and meaningful to yourself, there will always be some net benefit to the world around you. Multiply that by seven billion and you've got a pretty great world to live in.
To this day I still have his contact in my iPhone with his birthday and email address in it. I refuse to delete it. I got the notification yesterday about his birthday coming up, at which time I looked around the room and realized that most of the tech products in it would not be here or at least as advanced without Steve or the company he created.
Happy 60th Steve. We miss you.

Not a SINGLE message here has anything to do with 'worshipping' Jobs. It's all RECOGNIZING his birth 60 years ago, and RECOGNIZING his achievements, which were amazing. It's traditionally done for people who achieved as much as he did.
Your comment is very odd.
The Apple "cult" died out long ago - most of them probably hate everything after the iPhone. At this point, admiration for a guy like Jobs is no different from admiration for any number of massively successful people before him... He was the CEO and founder of the company that makes the products this site writes about, try counting how many times Bill Gates was mentioned on a Windows site after he stepped down.
He was 21 when he started Apple...
I'm 22...
Crap, I'm behind on my whole changing the world thing.

I thought ALL human beings are intelligent in some way.
Reading your BS proves I was wrong.
Happy birthday and RIP.
