Steve Jobs: Forums

@ROFLitschristian: I wonder how much it'll change when Wozniak dies. He was the engineer behind Apple, as Jobs admittedly claimed he knew nothing about circuit boards--let alone how to build one--when he and Wozniak began their revolution.

Good find @ghostman I love this one too. This is the Best Forums ever, thank you ... @bawnian-dexeus
@ROFLitschristian I hope so too!

@slysnide Let's hope he has a successor

@Georgia-DiPirro: You should visit the site regularly. Sometimes we have some pretty interesting conversations. Like this one for instance I have a feeling will go on for days till it slows down.

@bawnian-dexeus: True, each company like this needs a Steve Jobs like personality championing its products to the public, even though the employees of Apple may argue differently. More or less.

@slysnide Oh god, I don't even want to think about that.

@ROFLitschristian: Lolz. Too horrifying too imagine a Steve Jobs at every company, or Wozniak getting some credit for his part of their creation. :P

I just love the fact that all of these life-changing, worldwide phenomenal innovations/ideas/inventions came from a man who didn't even graduate high school! It's amazing at how so many successful people in the world often say they dropped of high school to pursue their dreams....

@slysnide I have a feeling that this forum will eventually turn into a Steve Jobs Quote thread :)

I'll start:

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently - they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see geniuses, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." - Steve Jobs

Funny how Facebook and Apple came from college dropouts.

@ghostman: College. He graduated high school, but dropped out of Reed College.

@slysnide Welcome goddess

@bawnian-dexeus: Thanks, God. ;)

@slysnide Congrats on the 5,000th comment! I originally put college, but changed it to high school by mistake instead whoops :/

Oh don't worry @ghostman, it seems those mistakes don't rule us out from the billionaire club. I mean if he dropped out after just a couple years, and I'm in my fifth--granted I'm in a community college but I'll keep that on the down low--then who knows what we can all accomplish.

I'm trying to find this one photo that shows a group of people at a candle light vigil for Jobs using a lit candle app on their iPhones.

@ghostman: Okay, now that REALLY seems lazy, yet proper, but somewhat lame.

@slysnide I found it funny at first becuz i was like, really? why can't you light an ACTUAL candle instead? But then again, it was more fitting for the occasion.

While I thank, not just Jobs, but any person out there whom to this day have created some of the coolest techs and websites ever, have brought our world so small, you'd think communications were only a house neighbor away. I thank Jobs for including a world wide access with his company's apps. And I thank Facebook creator Mark for allowing this generation and the following to be able to keep their friends close. Let's not forget the Google team with their impeccable search engine, although they pissed me off buy purchasing YouTube, forcing me to create a g mail to keep or have an account. Ah and YouTube for the world to find and put out their talents. Lots of people can be discovered and find fame, even JB, regardless of what we think. before people had to go through great lengths and money loss just to find a better life, and they can now just at their own home, entertain the world and be discovered.

As of now, nothing surprises me. So it will be interesting what the next great invention will be. I feel like everything has been done. All that we can hope for is their evolution.

@bawnian-dexeus "although they pissed me off buy purchasing YouTube, forcing me to create a g mail to keep or have an account." That pissed me off too! like really Google? force me to create a gmail in-able to get a YouTube account? it's preposterous I say!

@ghostman: That's still gonna be damn funny to me in twenty years.

@bawnian-dexeus: [in a sly clever voice] I've got an idea...
