Shameless right wing shit whore Milo Yiannopoulos:

@nero Just filed my Steve Jobs obit to the Catholic Herald. Was he the last great anti pornography campaigner of our time?

L-R: Steven Malkmus, Steve West, Spiral Stairs.

Black turtle neck and blue jeans infinitely preferable to his Where's Wally? look.

"wish we could restore steve" is just

those people just want more shiny products

steve was their ultimate shiny product: "the brilliant geek made stylishly good"

rong

is it?

i mean do fight w/me here, i kinda feel distasteful having said that

I mean, his choice in who crafted physical objects for him was right-on but the dude didn't really have a definitive personal style other than a lack of putting effort into his personal style

mansion with no furniture -> jeans/new balance/turtleneck were his trademarks

his brilliance was as a taskmaster

right, but you can't tell me the guy didn't have the aura of apple design about him and that it wasn't part of his appeal imo--especially as the guy who had a second coming that revolutionized the company and brought about the products that design people jizz over.

how was he a shiny product? like, his career or his personal life or his ability to make good stuff at the end of his life?

Nice work in Chicago--glass windows of the Apple Store covered with multicolored Post-It notes, each with a personal wish. Crowd outside snapping photos (silent snaps).

"mansion with no furniture"
bill gates mansion is an unmanageable mess of feature creep that even martha stewart warned about.

(i don't remember if the martha stewart zing came before or after her living arrangements were forcibly spartan)

That is actually a tiny bit poignant, a gin or two in.

Must not buy mac plus on the ebay

He was going bald and kept growing his hair so

^ would be horrified if I were seen in public with that hairdo

...balding?

c.f.

balding

Hey have you guys heard that one of the side effects of cancer treatment is hair loss? I know, right?

xp that other dude is not balding, he has a shaved head and a widows peak.

^bald expert

Hey have you guys heard that one of the side effects of cancer treatment is hair loss? I know, right?

wtf is this? My point was that ~imo~ his haircut does not fit with the Apple design aura

The point is it may be less "haircut" than "making the best of a bad situation for someone who does not want his head shaved."

maybe haircut is physical representation of ipod's halo effect on mac sales?

h8 steve jobs for that haircut. what a dork.

RIP

One of Steve's less-discussed legacies is how he, more than any other single person, made it acceptable to wear casual clothes at work. Before Apple, *nobody* who was the CEO of a huge company would give a keynote address wearing jeans and sneakers. The hair was part of the same aesthetic - just as he didn't want (for himself or his employees) to be constrained by uncomfortable suits, neckties, and leather shoes, he didn't feel like futzing with his hair for an hour before the big speech.

more than any other single person

idk, i have been looking pretty casual at work for a long time. i have really lowered that tone.

my friend told me a story about this. some guy that works w/ him was telling this story that he was like paying for live sex cams and that he was idk directing the girl on the screen and then at some point she looks at her laptop and says " oh it says here that steve jobs died"

and RIP i guess

xp Yeah, the scope of people feeling this loss seems without any of the usual barriers - I mean even ESPN was talking about Steve Jobs instead of football. Several of the signs with rearrangable letters that you see in front of stores, hotels, shopping malls around here have goodbye messages for Steve on them.

one thing this thread has made me think of is peoples tendency to want to define someone by the worst thing theyve done and whether thats legit or not - and then theres the tendency to want to make the worst thing the persons done seem worse than it is

Or the things they didn't do, that people perceive they should have.
