 Re: Steve Jobs is dead Just broke in as a special report. Terrible news but I guess it was expected. One of the last photos of him he looked so frail. I hate it when people die so young as I age and get closer to his age. Plus, he was younger than my parents. It's just a big bummer.

Re: Steve Jobs is dead I did expect his health to be deteriorating pretty fast, especially given the tone of his resignation and the type of cancer he had to deal with. Still, feels sad and sudden when hearing it.

Re: Steve Jobs is dead He was a genius, our generations Thomas Edison. He made a huge impact on the world in the last 20 years, and life would be very different if he hadn't lived. He will be missed.

Re: Steve Jobs is dead Magnus wrote: Jobs is really not like Edison. Edison was a inventor/scientist. Steve Jobs was a businessman/entrepreneur. He's more similar to Henry Ford than Edison. Well most of the news makers were making that comparison. I think he is like Edison in some ways because his inventions changed how we lived.

Re: Steve Jobs is dead Quote:
Last American Who Knew What The Fuck He Was Doing Dies
CUPERTINO, CA—Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple Computers and the only American in the country who had any clue what the fuck he was doing, died Wednesday at the age of 56. "We haven't just lost a great innovator, leader, and businessman, we've literally lost the only person in this country who actually had his shit together and knew what the hell was going on," a statement from President Barack Obama read in part, adding that Jobs will be remembered both for the life-changing products he created and for the fact that he was able to sit down, think clearly, and execute his ideas—attributes he shared with no other U.S. citizen. "This is a dark time for our country, because the reality is none of the 300 million or so Americans who remain can actually get anything done or make things happen. Those days are over." Obama added that if anyone could fill the void left by Jobs it would probably be himself, but said that at this point he honestly doesn’t have the slightest notion what he’s doing anymore.

Re: Steve Jobs is dead Jedi Master Carr wrote: He was a genius, our generations Thomas Edison.

Magnus is half-way right though. Steve Jobs was more of a businessman/entrepreneur than an inventor/scientist, but the same is true of Thomas Edison. Both Edison and Jobs have a large amount of patents to inventions they never invented. Both Edison and Jobs profited heavily the inventions of others. That's what they did. But in the long run, everyone will think Jobs invented the MP3 player even though they existed before iPods, just like everyone thinks Edison invented half the shit he claims to have, even though Edison operated Menlo Park where he hired scientists (many of whom were black) to invent things for him to patent, take credit for, and profit there off of. The only difference between the two is that Edison did invent a few things. _________________

Re: Steve Jobs is dead I can see the Henry Ford comparison and ultimately can see the final line as well.
However, just to be nit-picky, I want to say that the assembly line can also be credited to Fredrick Taylor. After all, the nickname for the assembly line process was called Taylorism.

Re: Steve Jobs is dead Hey, I'm still here. I've spent time in Ford City, Pa.
What about me?
Tomorrow I begin converting LASER digital disk pickups to either Ferromagnetic or Diamagnetic pickups in order to read the data bits on a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray disk by either their Magnetic or Diamagnetic metallic/semi-metallic properties instead of the current systems which read CD/DVD/Blu-Ray data Optically, producing errors.
Optical reading of a disk becomes a problem when dealing with scratches and smears. Reading the metallic/semi-metallic properties may eliminate that problem.
And then, I will be exploring adding full-duplex remote control smartphone functions to TIVOs and other devices for use when you are away from home and just have to have that program on file.
Later, I will be adding bar code scanners to smartphones so that, when food items are running low, simply scan them at home, then connect to the supermarket database to convert the list of bar codes into a shopping list.
This conversion can also be sent to your shopping helper's smartphones as well, or to any of the online supermarkets such as vons.com or wholefoodsmarket.com .
And on Saturday I will be reconfirming the smartphone to home security camera system that automates the remote viewing on a smartphone with 911 with automatic uploading of the suspect's photos/videos to the proper authorities, and the delivery system for electronic delivery of search warrants to police car computer systems.
Have any good ideas? Post them here!

Stephen Fry (who will sadly be in The Hobbit, but is perhaps better known as a general humorist in Britain) wrote a very good article on Steve Jobs (definitely worth reading the whole piece), in which he sets out to define the role of true innovators... Quote: Here's an excerpt:
"Henry Ford didn’t invent the motor car, Rockefeller didn’t discover how to crack crude oil into petrol, Disney didn’t invent animation, the Macdonald brothers didn’t invent the hamburger, Martin Luther King didn’t invent oratory, neither Jane Austen, Tolstoy nor Flaubert invented the novel and D. W. Griffith, the Warner Brothers, Irving Thalberg and Steven Spielberg didn’t invent film-making. Steve Jobs didn’t invent computers and he didn’t invent packet switching or the mouse. But he saw that there were no limits to the power that creative combinations of technology and design could accomplish.
I once heard George Melly, on a programme about Louis Armstrong, do that dangerous thing and give his own definition of a genius. “A genius,” he said, “is someone who enters a field and works in it and when they leave it, it is different. By that token, Satchmo was a genius.” I don’t think any reasonable person could deny that Steve Jobs, by that same token, was a genius too."

Re: Steve Jobs is dead OMG - - he's evil! (How would you like to be judged on one minor event when you're 19 years old and then have it assumed you made no progress in the following 37 years?)
