you know what, I got one better than him.

There is no equality in the value of human life. There is no fairness, in any form of life. Value is not derived from the potential of a human life, it is dictated by what you have accomplished, and what you currently are. Whether or not you had the opportunity to do the same things as others isn't a factor. At the moment of conception, some people are already worth more than others ever will be in their entire lives. Life ain't fuckin fair. Too fucking bad.

Oher hears it from Twitterverse after blanking on Jobs' death
By Marc Sessler NFL.com

Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher asked his 78,000-plus Twitter followers a simple question.

"Can somebody help me out? Who was Steve Jobs!" he inquired after news broke of the Apple founder's death on Oct. 5.


What followed was predictable. Know-it-alls emerged from every corner, berating Oher for his lack of current-events prowess.

"Wow you mean to tell me everybody knew who he was!! Man get real so many fake ppl! Lol" he later wrote, before telling everyone: "Mistake I won't make again respect and R I P Steve Jobs."

In an awkward sidenote, Oher tweeted this material from an iPhone.

The subject of the 2009 film "The Blind Side" was thrown by the heat.

"Oh man, that was terrible," Oher told the Carroll County Times. "I grew up knowing Bill Gates. I didn't know who Steve Jobs was. When did I have an opportunity to learn who Steve Jobs was? I didn't get it. It was crazy how people responded.

"I'm a pretty smart guy, on and off the field no matter what people think. I asked the guys in the locker room and half of them didn't know who he was before he died."

Half the Ravens' locker room has some homework to do.

Who is Michael Oher?

Seriously...............


and..... I don't know any of the players on the Baltimore Ravens soccer team

It's Baltimore Ravens football (NFL) team........

If soccer had an "offensive tackler" position, you'd get more of those pansies who roll around and fake their injuries.

apple/windows nerds should be praying to this guy instead no?

sarcasm detector running low on batteries, I see............

I know the Ravens is an NFL footbal team, but was also making fun of the fact Michael Oher thinks he's a well known celebrity. He's just another Bieksa wannabe.

The longer this thread goes on, the more I chuckle.

Honestly, I like to keep an open mind, and welcome the possibility of alternative points of view, but that guy is just a fucking idiot.

It truly shows that no matter what you do in this world, some POS will decide its not good enough for them.

And to use Salk as his champion for what Steve should have done differently? Salk was not a businessman, had no idea or interest about business whatsoever.

If Salk could have, he would have lived in a cave, and accepted zero credit for the things he did. Not because he was a wonderful human being, but because he was a completely anti-social wierdo lab researcher.

He did great things for the medical research field, but he never was even remotely able to connect with regular people in a way Steve Jobs was.

If anything, that was Steve's legacy. People aren't mourning him because he made billions of dollars. They aren't mourning him because he created a great phone. They are simply morning him, because he found a way to connect with people through his position in business in a way that rarely happens.

He got paid $1 a year for 2008/2009/2010. He had his hands all over Atari, Next, Pixar, and everything Apple has done. He was basically a hippy, who used recreational drugs, but managed to become a huge corporate success as well.

No philantrophic contributions? Someone should point this guy to Product Red.

At the end of the day, he was a guy that people liked. And apparently that goes a long way these days, which somehow for me is refreshing to know.

You can bet, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, or Steve Wozniak won't get the same type of farewell reception, and it has nothing to do with how rich they are.

:suspicious: just because you don't take credit for something that makes you crazy? I'd say Salk was just not a materialistic person and that's what drove him into being the man he was

legacy of steve jobs

Isaacson wrote that Jobs was livid in January 2010 when HTC introduced an Android phone that boasted many of the popular features of the iPhone. Apple sued, and Jobs told Isaacson in an expletive-laced rant that Google's actions amounted to "grand theft."


"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."


Jobs used an expletive to describe Android and Google Docs, Google's Internet-based word processing program. In a subsequent meeting with Schmidt at a Palo Alto, Calif., cafe, Jobs told Schmidt that he wasn't interested in settling the lawsuit, the book says.


"I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want." The meeting, Isaacson wrote, resolved nothing.

yup, if only he had tried my Mom's secret chinese soup, he'd be alive today. :fullofwin:

Jobs biography should make for some interesting reading, judging by the parts "leaked" so far.

The big thing is Isaacson had free reign to write the book his way (unusual for Jobs who obsessed over every little detail of anything he was involved with) and Jobs even waived his right to read the book before it gets published.

This isn't going to be some "whitewashed" biography.

SkinnyPupp 10-21-2011 09:20 AM

Yeah some interesting tidbits are coming out, such as how strongly Jobs didn't want to have 3rd party apps... imagine that! The ONE true thing that set the iphone apart from Windows Mobile back in the day, and they almost didn't do it.
