RIP, be interesting to see what comes of apple now as he did play a huge part in the design and development.
Obama sums it up pretty well...
"The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented."

Far too many deluded fucks comparing Jobs to the likes of great inventors like Bell, Edison, Tesla, Da Vinci; it's as if a world without the iPod's and iPhone's would mean no mp3 players or mobile phones

Could you elaborate, Russ? Aye, he did invent some brilliant computers/gadgets, but to compare him to any of the above is laughable

He 'invented' products based on available technology, he didn't invent anything new.

Depends on how you equate 'great inventor'. In modern society I reckon a 'great inventor' would be one that earned a lot of money from his invention. He did, which negates any personal opinions of his inventions.

Exactly. Without the likes of Tesla managing to create the AC Generator, it wouldn't exist.

They way things are 'invented' is like that though isn't it. Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb, but he's widely credited for doing so.

When i saw the thread title Steve Jobs, i thought it was about things Steve does.
Like weathering airfix kits, thats a Steve job, powdercoating lower arms, thats a Steve job too

I think its more aimed at the first iPhone, the first iPod etc... the newer ones are just improved versions.
No-one can question what he has achieved fanboys or not.
