Steve Jobs RIP 1955-2011

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.

There's a whole thread in this.

mm yeah agreed.

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"

Okay, so there is this Japanese restaurant that I used to frequent often in the late 00s and Jobs would often be there (but not Woz lol).

Rumor had it he was quite tight with the owners, possibly helping bankroll the place when it opened.

They announced they were closing about 2 weeks ago.

Follow-up, the head chef has been hired by Apple and will be working at the Cupertino HQ. Crazy, as this place was pretty high-end, a incredibly different universe from the corporate lunch scene.

there's a "corporate lunch scene"?

GOING FORWARD PASTA IN A HEADS-UP SAUCE $7.95 SML / $9.95 LRG

Large companies have cafeterias, hoos

there's a "corporate lunch scene"?

. . .

you made it sound like a ~scene~!

the only Steve Jobs food story i ever heard was from a guy i knew in college, who is now a key guy at Apple

he told me that he once watched Steve Jobs threw a hissy fit at the Apple cafeteria because he wanted pasta, but the cafeteria was serving something else that day. so Steve Jobs basically tortured the lunch ladies until they finally made what he wanted.

er, throw

sorry, it's late

#livelikesteve

You'd think he'd just ask for the head chef and have that person whip up a thing!

think i'll take the tuna sashimi #eatlikesteve

when I visited facebook it was miami day at the cafeteria

you made it sound like a ~scene~!

so you really want to know what OWS is about?

the first rule of the corporate lunch scene is you don't talk about the corporate lunch scene

I have found a new favorite GIS.

Got to use the phrase "corporate lunch scene" today when asked for a restaurant suggestion for a business lunch. A+ would use again.

hahaha

btw Jobso is still on the Apple front page after nearly eight days, not TOTALLY GHOULISH or anything

you really find a memorial photograph TOTALLY GHOULISH

i mean if it was a picture of him in state or something

I find it TOTALLY GHOULISH when it's p much the whole front page of the whole web presence for more than a week, yeah

That depends upon where you look.

There'll be no need to read his biography what with EVERY PRESS AGENCY ON THE PLANET explaining every single revelation in gigantic detail.

i.e. if you want to enjoy the book don't look at a web site or open a newspaper.

def surprised that he admits to delaying his cancer treatment

gonna be hilarious when shareholders file suit

He didn't just delay - he chose a stupid fucking homeopathic alternative treatment instead of the one that works. And in the end, he's just another rich, narcissistic vaccine denier type. Sigh.

yeah I didn't phrase that correctly - I meant he hid the fact from shareholders

sueing his executors or apple or whaa

Is that important? (Call me naive but I was always wondering why the hell there was so much attention given to what the shareholders thought about his health; I kinda bloodlessly figured they'd be more interested in, you know, sales and profits. The company wasn't SteveJobsBodilyIntegrity.com)

well I have no idea what being a shareholder entitles you to - I just remember that waves were being made at the time that jobs was concealing too much of his illness from the public and hence shareholders

Well, Jobs being dead certainly affects Apple and Apple stock. Jobs keeping his illness secret gave the stock an illusion of strength, where an admission that he was seeking a risky alternative treatment would have given shareholders a chance to make up their own mind as to his and Apple's future and whether or not it was worth shedding stocks then vs. now, post-fact and in a position of relative weakness.

That is, he knew he was dying to the extent that he told his biographer. So he was concealing a known fact of use to shareholders.

fwiw

Man I knew the stock market consisted of jumpy, nervous bastards but that's kinda weird.

sue sue sue to establish the precdent that corporate offcers are subject to full prophylactic genetic testing & constant health monitoring it's the least shareholders deserve
