Steve Jobs' Grand Vision
ejungle writes "The Toronto Star has an excellent article on Steve Jobs and his increasingly interesting role as head of both Apple Computer and Pixar Animation Studios. The article goes into the market pressures surrounding both companies, and goes a long way to explain their recent moves."
Steve Jobs OWNS YOU.
Dear Father O'Day:
Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.
I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).
Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!
Sincerely,
Harry Rodman
Vice-president
Homosexual Liaison Services
Apple Computer, Inc.

"The peole who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world without a lot of cash don't. But then again we are talking about Apple ppl here who must have more money than God in order to afford an Apple computer.
There's a growing sense that even if The Future comes,
most of us won't be able to afford it.

He uses both to push his product to others. That makes him a hyocrite.
uh no.
not only does the renderfarm run linux...but our desktops as well.
there are no plans for macs in the near future.
it's just not in the cards.
Guess he must have been a closet fag then...
I wonder if it was a mac user who modded you down, i'll admit they can be biased sometimes.

Easy - do you know how expensive Apple hardware / software is??? ;-)
my FP beat yours. Bitch.
Well, you might be right, but I heard nasty stories about the Dual 1.25GHz G4s that Apple were selling just before the G5 was released. Weren't they 1GHz overclocks and didn't they have a tendancy to lock up more than a Macintosh should?
lets not forget the Homosexuals
I wouldn't mind Apple and it's products if it wasn't for:
.
1. the whole personality cult surrounding Steve Jobs (face it - Steve Wozniak is the real genius)
2. a futuristic vision that only about 40 years out of date. Take the ipod - it looks like it came straight out of the movie '2001', which was released in 1968
3. rabid myopic fanboys. Yes, I am aware of the irony of posting this on Slashdot.
4. product deficiencies that are actually features. For a great example of this, bring up the single mouse button thing to a bunch on Mac fanatics. You will be informed that a single button is better, that you can compensate by doing this and that and this, and that you don't really need more than a single button anyway.
Could someone tell me why everyone puts "Mr. Jobs" up on a pedistal, but everyone wants to bash
Bill Gates? BOTH have "borrowed" technology from
other places, both have used marketing to their
advantage. Both have given huge sums of money to
worthy causes. The only difference is that Jobs
builds Macs, Gates builds windows, and that Jobs
wanted to keep the entire process of a Mac to himself and not make it like the "PC" process where common components could be used. Therefore, there were tons more uses for lower priced PC's than propriatary Macs. Nothing against macs, but
for what I can buy in a PC to do the exact same thing in a Mac would cost me a bunch more money just to be "stylish" and arrogant.
I'm not into trends, I want something that works, and dosen't cost an arm and a leg, so I go with a PC.
Jobs isn't the "visionary" that everyone makes him out to be. It's just "stylish and trendy" to kiss his butt.
I think Linux is better. The OS X window manager drives me nuts. It's completely aweful to use if you multitask lots of different small applications at once. I'm also not a jelly fan.
