Fuck Steve Jobs

Normally, I would not speak ill of the recently dead but all this gushing over this piece of shit human being has really disgusted me. Here are some examples of the gag inducing idiocy on the part of the masses that are devoted to this fucking asshole who certainly wouldn't have given a shit if you, or I, died.

"Apples and flowers and candles and notes littered the sidewalks in front of Apple stores around the world Thursday. In a rare show of emotion for an American CEO, the world reacted to the death Steve Jobs with an outpouring of devotion." -Washington Post

Even our idiot corporate-puppet president had his stupid say, he said, "Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it."


Seriously? Changed the world? I'm sorry but making fucking cell phones and tablets for yuppies to show off to each other is not changing the world for the better, and it certainly isn't a reason people should be mourning an asshole. His phones didn't even have anything that groundbreaking about them, sure the UI was better, but its not like he discovered cold fusion people. Stop this bullshit. Even actual good people aren't mourned like this when they die and they at least tried to help starving people or were doctors to people in Africa, or tried to help people in some other way. Instead, we don't even know those people's names, but we mourn an asshole who helped create the fucking iPhone, the most overrated piece of technology ever. This says a lot about our civilization and its messed up priorities. Steve Jobs, with his technological creepy marketing-created cult and the factories in China where slaves build the iPad and iPhone, only made the world worse, since humans become a bit more monstrous each time they exchange wholesome emotions for the empty worship of electronic gadgets.

To be honest, I am glad he is dead. It shows that while rich people have taken everything away from the poor; their hopes, their dreams, even their minds and their dignity, at least they still haven't achieved immortality yet. They die just like us and for that I am glad. In the end, all the advanced medical technology and transplants of 3rd world children's livers weren't enough to fight off the great equalizer, death.

He wasn't even a nice person, he was an arrogant, aggressive and temperamental jerk who just used people. He claimed to be a Buddhist, but there is nothing Buddhist about a greedy asshole who only cared about wealth and his own inflated ego. I think lots of people like him because he is epitomizes the values of our bullshit society. Our society which wants us all to just fawn over products, be bland people who love money, and, most importantly, not give a fuck about each other. He is like every bullshit asshole I meet in Manhattan, claiming to be part of some "counterculture" but in reality just being conformist money-grubbing egotistical pricks. Steve Jobs was what all the asshole hipsters and yuppies who worship him wanted to be, and that is both sad and horrifying. Changing the world indeed, changing it into something worse. Even his own once-illegitimate daughter lived on welfare for 2 years because he just didn't give a fuck, he even denied paternity by claiming he was sterile.

He even fucked over the Woz, who is a much nicer person, on numerous occassions, one of which is, Jobs noticed his friend Steve Wozniak--employee of Hewlett-Packard--was capable of producing designs with a small number of chips, and invited him to work on the hardware design with the prospect of splitting the $750 wage. Wozniak had no sketches and instead interpreted the game from its description. To save parts, he had "tricky little designs" difficult to understand for most engineers. Near the end of development, Wozniak considered moving the high score to the screen's top, but Jobs claimed Bushnell wanted it at the bottom; Wozniak was unaware of any truth to his claims. The original deadline was met after Wozniak did not sleep for four days straight. In the end 50 chips were removed from Jobs' original design. This equated to a US$5,000 bonus, which Jobs kept secret from Wozniak, instead only paying him $375.

Also, after resuming control of Apple in 1997, Jobs eliminated all corporate philanthropy programs. So don't be fucking stupid and cry for Steve Jobs, he wouldn't care about you. He didn't care about anyone except himself and his ego. Fuck Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was an asshole.

Addendum:

They're just products. If we really want to make this a better world then we need to stop living for what we own and start forcing the corporate greed heads like Jobs to share the profit they make off other peoples labor with the people that actually do the work. Just imagine what this world would be like if Apples or HP's workers in china could actually buy the products they make without selling internal organs to get them. We stand at the crossroads will we decide to solve our problems or continue to allow a small percentage of human beings to benefit while the rest of the world starves. but mainly we have to stop lonizing fucks like Jobs.

the iPad and iPhone, only made the world worse, since humans become a bit more monstrous each time they exchange wholesome emotions for the empty worship of electronic gadgets.

For surely if you had spent just a few minutes looking, you'd be well aware that the suite of emoticons that comes packaged as an alternative keyboard is very extensive and complete. I'm sure people are even more efficient expressing their emotions with these emoticons than they otherwise would have been.

Got it for 99 centivos at Sally Ann. I keep thinking I should read it but then I think: why? What the fuck did he even do? They're making a movie of this guy, too?

Anyway, it seems like Bill Gates is a much better person since he gives away hella money to charity, invented a computer that can be used by poor people as well as the mindlessly rich and is not a complete dick.
D'oh! I can't seem to talk to the mod_

While it's well known Steve Jobs contracted HIV due to his use of LSD ("acid") at his decadent interracial orgies of pagan fornicators and adulterers, lesser known is his strong advocacy of intravenous drug use even after contracting two of the three strains of Hepatitis that ultimately led to his death in shootout during a DEA raid on a flea-ridden whorehouse in Cambodia in 2007.
