As someone who works professionally with apple computers, and has done so for the latest 10 years, I'm hoping this will be the beginning of an end to the shitty personality cult part of Apple which I never subscribed to and always resented being associated with.

Hyoushi -are you high right now?

Well, the death of the Messiah tends to accentuate the cultish aspects, not diminish them, doesn't it? See JFK, John Lennon, Jim Morrison, blah blah blah

Every time Tim Cook screws up, it'll be 'Jobs would never have done that...', 'If only Steve had lived...'

Are you expecting him to screw up though? I mean, my point is that from now on, Jobs can't be credited with how amazing and magical new apple products are and how we should all love him for it. I mean, there was already an example on the first page of this thread:

That's the opposite of what I'm seeing on my FB.

An example: "Thousands of Syrians have died and no one mourned them, yet this apostate dies and suddenly the world stands still? Wut, because of this shitty thing in my hand that refuses to work most of the time?!"

People are acting like if some artist, freedom fighter or inventor died. Steve Jobs was just selling shit. People need to get some sense of fucking perspective, its disgusting.

He died with Apple at its height and he died young. The basically perfect mix of becoming deified by a rabid fanbase. If anything the personality cult of Apple is going to get a lot more crazy and more fanboyish.

Just look at what is going on at Apple stores today. My local news this morning showed flowers and candles at my towns store as well. This is the begining not the end sorry to say.

Well, all things equal he was REALLY important in the tech sector- and at the ground floor of the entire thing. I think he should be recognized for that- HOWEVER, three hour blocks of people talking about him last night were ridiculous

Barry Egan · « **Reply #136 on:** October 06, 2011, 09:42:20 AM »

from a slate article on Occupy Wall Street:

Quote

On the Manhattan side of the bridge, pointing at cops -- countless smartphones and tablets, many of them Apple branded, taping the scene or tweeting what was happening. These are protests in the world Steve Jobs has made -- more transparent than anyone could have predicted.

Is Steve Jobs really the one to thank for the transparency of these protests?

there's grief, and then there's this stuff. i'm still confused by how this is an actual reaction. like, all those apples. what are the chances there is a genuine caring thought behind it, and not just setup for a "wicked somber" picture to send around.
