I'm not anti Jobs, I just think he gets far more credit than he is due.

 

Nope!

 

Haha, only just noticed this.

You mean the mouse he stole from Xerox that Douglas Engelbart originally came up with?

 

You'll be taking credit from Henry Ford next because a Caveman rolled a stone down a hill. Give it up man. Give Apple credit where it's due.

 

It took until September before I could do this.



And another week before I could do this

 

Haha, typical fanboy mentality.

Plagarism at it's best.

 

What exactly are you trying to show?

You could take a photo of yourself being a fanboy?

You could hold a phone up?

 

ORLY?

I wonder where Apple would be now if Jonathan Ives had worked for Nokia? It certainly didn't take anyone special to see a mobile phone was a good idea.



ipod and iphone were no less plagiarised than anything Samsung have done. All he did was copy a few ideas into his phone.

Steve Jobs said in an interview “We always have been shameless about stealing great ideas", he just couldn't handle it when others do the same.

I have had one iphone, it was **** compared to the competition I have used and I would never own one again, so I thank Steve Jobs for nothing.

 

Apple threads certainly do bring out the haters, you lot should relax your arseholes a little, you're all too full of stress.

 

Galifrey, what phone do you have? I really keen to see a device that's not influenced by the iPhone.

That's an great video by the way. Really shows what you need to do to push the technology forward.

 

Efa

 

Well he did start the most powerful technology company in the world, I guess that should get a little credit. It's very difficult to find anything in computing that's not influenced by Apple.

 

Usual intelligent contribution from Tubby.

 

So Apple did nothing, no credit for anything. LOL such an Anti-Fanboy, you lot are the worst.

Richest now maybe, wouldn't say most powerful.

Power would be dictated by what the world would lose if they disappeared and if Apple disappeared overnight, there would be very little loss to the world. People would just buy different hardware and install Windows when their OSX gets too clunky, admittedly that might take a while.

I could name many tech companies that would have a more profound impact if they disappeared, Microsoft being the most powerful by far, hence the number of anti-trust lawsuits they have faced in the past. If Microsoft failed people would likely switch to Linux, not OSX.

 

Of course they did something, they plagiarised.

 

Here's the thread on Reddit from the launch day, funny reading.

Er...... most people that use Windows can't boil a kettle withut a manual for it let alone use Linux!

Apple would clean up!

And I am a Linux user and fan btw!

 

He just can't bring himself to admit that Apple might just win something.

I think Chrome OS might have a chance. Nothing much for users to not understand in there.

 

No, he co-founded.

All you've mentioned in this thread is Jobs, nothing about Wozniak, Wayne, Ive or any of the others, whom without, Jobs would have been a nobody.

Anything in computing NOT influenced by Apple? Are you for f**king real? F**king retarded statement.

Typical fanboy mentality.

 

I would say IBM. Most of the huge engines of the economies of the western world have an IDM mainframe at their heart. You just can't run most of the stuff they depend on on toy computers

 

How? With no operating system to install on anything but a Mac?

Sure it would be a slow start and Linux would have to be made more user friendly, a bit like Android. I am sure Google would rise to the challenge, Steam already have.

 

Linux is already p1ss easy to use. Ubuntu.

 

I am sure if Jobs(worth) was alive it would be you relaxing your arsehole so he could enter you.......... I have never come across anyone to suck someones d1ck as much as you (metaphorically speaking)

 

 

And this ladies and gentleman, is why I don't browse this section of the forum any more

 

Apple could have won many times over if they launched a PC operating system that would install on most of the worlds PC's. Sadly they continue to insist on using their own mostly overpriced hardware which is why they won't win.

Chrome OS, maybe, but I believe a Linux derivative would take centre stage. It is all a moot point however as Microsoft won't be going anywhere. I was merely hypothesising on the real importance of Apple and the reality is they are no more important and powerful than Commodore once was, they are just another proprietary PC manufacturer, just a very rich one.

F1_Fan seems to think otherwise.

 

Then I'd have to disagree, I think my daughter was around 10 when I first installed Ubuntu on a PC for her.

Like a duck to water.

Yes, Linux used to more technical with lots of command line trickery, rolling your own kernel, compiling Gentoo from source, but those days are long gone.

Ubuntu in it's current form is easier and more intuitive than Windows.

 

No f1_fan doesn't think otherwise as f1_fan was probably playing with Linux before you'd left school, but the fact remains that given the choice of Ubuntu on some cruddy piece of Chinese PC hardware or OSX on a nice shiny Apple Mac all installed out of the box with every question answered at your local Apple Store which one do you think most non-IT literate people who just need a computer for mundane day to day things are going to buy?

Hint, it's not the Ubuntu/Nicky Nacky Noo Corp. set-up!

Precisely, I'm out as obviously I know the square root of f**k all about computers

 

Apparently, the only person who knows anything is JackClark.
