For all those 'great business models' and 'awesome business strategy', apple would be nothing if it wasn't for Bill Gates.

Aug. 6, 1997: Apple Rescued

I hate apple and everything it stands for, but I'll reserve comments as to not cause the failstorm lol.

I think i know why they released the iPhone 4s instead of 5.

iPhone 4 Steve.

XplicitLuder 10-05-2011 09:21 PM

altho i never considered getting the iphone and prob still won't, i know it sucks to lose family members to cancer. My condolences go to them and may Steve create the iHeaven while he rests in paradise :okay:

Another one added to the list of people who would still be alive and healthy had they followed science instead of quackery and starvation. :okay:

You don't know?

He had a very treatable form of cancer, and found out about it early enough that he should have lived a very long life. But he chose to treat it by switching to a vegan diet and "naturopathic" cures. It didn't work out, and he actually was very late in removing it with surgery. The tumor grew during the 9 months he tried to get rid of it with diet. He continued to eat a horrible diet even after having a procedure which already would have leeched his body of most nutrients to begin with. Then the rest of his body started failing. He continued to listen to his quacks, and died

RIP, one of the most brilliant marketers ever, IMO, but it looks like he was just as susceptible himself to listening to sales pitches. Maybe that's why he was so good at it?

"When we finally presented it at the shareholders' meeting, everyone in the auditorium stood up and gave it a 5-minute ovation. What was incredible to me was that I could see the Mac team in the first few rows. It was as though none of us could believe that we'd actually finished it. Everyone started crying."

THIS is where the press fails to pick up and share in order to sell stories. And if they do pick this up, they thwart and spin this as a pitiful story

I dont know where I stand amongst the fanboys between apple, android, windows all that crap. What I can say is this

I bet you most PC fanboys WONT EVEN ADMIT the bright spots on why APPLE is innovative until today.

on the other hand Jobs probably would have agree with the decision. He said in his standford speech that death is very likely the single best invention of life, its life's change agent to clear out the old. R.I.P Jobs hopefully Cook can continue his legacy

A mouse. iPhone. Pixar. A GUI. A computer.

The thing is except for Pixar Steve Jobs never invented those things. His genius was able to see the value in things and able to market them to the masses.

umm i don't think apple's contribution to desktop computers was large in any way.

but i definitely agree that apple made a huge impact in the mobile phone industry, there technology led the way a long time before any other OS

steve jobs may have been a bit harsh when it comes to business, but that's what it takes to run a successful company. when it comes to family and friends, and charity i bet he had the biggest heart

i'm not a apple fan but i am definitely a steve jobs fan

id say the mouse is a pretty big contribution

Thank Xerox then

I'm always the first one on the anti-Apple bandwagon, but there are two things that I never lost sight of:
1. The iPhone is pretty nifty at times, regardless of how much it costs.
2. Steve Jobs was a brilliant marketer. He lifted Apple out of the strut they were in and made it into one of the most profitable companies in the world.

While I don't particularly like Apple products, Steve Jobs certainly seemed to have his heart in them. RIP.

Gt-R R34 10-05-2011 11:06 PM

RIP - brilliant, brilliant man.

Just an FYI for those people that talks about microsoft owning apple. They owned @ their prime 18.2 million shares @ todays market value which would equal:

18.2M X 378.25 = Worth about 688M. sold in 2003 I believe. don't remember.

fs604 10-05-2011 11:15 PM

Rip Jobs :(

RIP Steve Jobs.

Not the biggest Apple fan but I respect him for taking Apple where it is today. Made the technology world an interesting and exciting place.
