Happy birthday MR! I do like this site and visit every day or so but I just wish you guys held Apple a bit more accountable for the bad things they do.
Your journalism type pieces are generally quite good.
I was a wee teenager when I signed up, 16 years ago or so.

Happy birthday Steve, just a pity we haven’t had anything as good as your iPhone/iPad since you left us. It seems you took the key to the ideas cupboard when you sadly left us.
Happy Birthday MacRumours! While I may not post in the forums much these days, I still visit the website many times a day, every single day. Keep up the great work, arn and co! 
This wishing products a websites a happy birthday has got to stop.
it’s a nice anniversary for the creator but that’s it.

I think ego has a lot to do with it unfortunately. When you get that big, you feel invincible. Why he thought being a lifelong vegetarian diet was going to save him just boggles my mind.
Vegan food is like any other food, some good for you, some not, some worse for you even than non-vegan. Wish he would have just let the doctors make the decisions instead of him. A man has to know his limitations said Clint and that almost always proves true.
Right behind you! Joined MacRumors in ‘ought two. Started on mainframes in ‘68, programming Apple stuff since ‘85. Loved ya Steve!
Agreed, the Isaacson biography was a great read. I found that "Becoming Steve Jobs" (Brent Schlender) compliments Isaacson's book really well. "Becoming Steve Jobs" gives more focus to his time away from Apple, at NeXT & Pixar, and how those experiences were influential and beneficial to Jobs when he came back to Apple.
You're right that he might have bought himself a little more time, but pancreatic cancer almost always wins in the end.Happy Birthday Mac Rumors! But Jobs never liked this site did he?
But also, it's a shame Jobs didn't believe in modern medicine until it was too late.
That homeopathic BS certainly didn't help his fight against an already gloomy diagnosis.
If he had taken aggressive surgical steps at the very beginning as well as all the other standard protocols, it doesn't mean he would have survived, but my ex got 3 more years after being given 6 weeks to live. Jobs took an intellectual fight to a caged knife fight.
Happy 21st to MR, which is probably my #1 time waster site on the internet and has been for many years!
What amazes me the most is that Steve Jobs had his hand in so many revolutions: personal computing, wide adoption of graphical user interfaces, the innovations at NeXT (including what became today's macOS), the leap forward in movie animation, the digital music revolution of the iPod and iTunes Store, digital publishing, and of course smartphones, tablets, and the app market.
It seems like just yesterday there was a post about 20 years of MacRumors...almost like the last year never existed.
I drop in nearly daily (for the last 10 years) to read the rumors around the industry. For years, I didn't even have a Mac, I just always wanted one, and I found interest in all of the rumors surrounding new Apple products. I'm thankful to have Macrumors around, the articles are always great to read. Thank you and happy birthday!

You should be very proud. Virtually all the automotive forums I used to love are now long gone or are desolate wastelands, with the only posters being spam bots. It's a real shame as there were so many funny threads, discussions, photo how-to guides that have proved invaluable, information and sales areas, all been destroyed by Facebook and YouTube videos.
Long live MR. We members might not all agree on stuff on this site, but on that one I think we can.
I KNOW, eh? I was thinking that when I read this. 66 is pretty young these days, and to think of how long he's been gone already. Really crazy. Really unfortunate.
Happy birthday Steve and also to Macrumors - one of the few forums if not the only I visit regularly.
lol wtf is Musk doing in that list, you need to read more than some silly headlines mate. Also what if I told you that you can wish someone a genuine happy birthday without dragging others down.
