plumeria Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 He got me with the Apple 1 & 2 and made me a 'computer nut'. He lost me because of cheap Windows PCs and lousy & expensive Apple support in Bangkok. This year the proven reliability of Apple got me to dump all my PCs and reset my entire business model based on Apple. So I must admit he influenced my life greater than I may imagine. He wasn't afraid to try and fail. He confirmed the saying that men of force are men of faults. Too bad the pharma companies and national medical associations have managed to hide from Steve and so many others the 80% cancer cure rate of 90-year-old Dr Sommai in Singburi using inexpensive Thai herbs that have been getting results for decades. What's really sad is that the lucrative "search for a cancer cure" and big money involved in "cancer research" means Steve and so many others have to suffer and die earlier than necessary because profits are the most important thing. At least the Thai media has made sure Thais are aware of the cure. But it's shameful the FCCT and Western news correspondents, Bangkok Post and Nation are in the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies and have intentionally refused to even check out at what Sommai is doing. So I put Steve's death squarely on the shoulders of everyone involved in the cover up, censorship and totally biased news selection based on vested interests and the interests of media advertisers. I'm ANGRY that Steve Jobs died young, not sad. What's wrong with this picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTIRIOS Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 With all due respect...my 2 cents worth: 1) big business....money...power....some people must be secretly happy that he is 'out of the way' 2) as mentioned in naturalnews dot com such a shame that with all his millions and with so many natural, safe alternative treatments to cancer, he succumbed to chemotherapy.....it does not make sense...and so young, 55 years old..... (brings us back to point #1 and makes one wonder.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Conners Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 RIP STeve Jobs. He has fought until his death by promoting and pushing towards his company. One day after the launch of IPhone 5. My appreciation for him has always been the maximum, even if i am not a MAC OS user. Actually they didn't launch the iphone 5 as expected, just a slightly updated iphone 4, hence the continually crashing stock price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpthai2 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Every time you touch your iPhone, iPad, iPod or Apple computer, a part of Steve Jobs heart and soul is in that device. He put it there as every artist does in his or her work. He asked the people in his organizan to follow there hearts and dreams. The result is written in history ... RIP Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpoppel Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) In June, just before his resignation, Steve presented his proposal for the new Apple Campus to the Cupertino City Council. I'm not 100% sure, but this might have been his last public speech.. Edited October 6, 2011 by mpoppel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunken Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 The first ever PC I used was a Mac, at a company I worked for. Since then I've been a PC user & buyer mainly because of cost. But I've never forgotten that many of the best features of the PC & Windows were copied from the Mac. Apple was & is innovation personified while Ms is copy & buy only. RIP Steve Jobs - you have left a legacy that will last for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I eventually moved to Unix platforms and Windows, but some of my best memories involve early experiences on the Apple II+, the IIe, and the first Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmj Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 it's just a shame he ( and Apple ) wasn't more of a philanthropist, this was one of the first things Tim Cook changed when he became CEO of Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalbanana Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 it's just a shame he ( and Apple ) wasn't more of a philanthropist, this was one of the first things Tim Cook changed when he became CEO of Apple. Yes the numbers tell (source Private Eye). 8.3B USD Personal fortune of Apple boss Steve Jobs, hailed as visionary anti-establishment hero. 25.0B USD Amount distributed to charitable causes since 1994 by Microsoft boss Bill Gates, who does not enjoy the same reputation.
