Steve Jobs Stanford speech
-
Y'know, I'm fine with the personal attacks, but I'll just point one thing out: If you think I'm being "inhumane" because of words on a screen, words being exchanged in a conversation, online, you're really trivializing what happened to people who were actually subjected to inhumane treatment. You don't have to "waste your time" or "endure" anything because of me. It's easy enough to stop a thread. I just wanted to make this one last point, as I had already said I was ready to put an end to this rather pointless conversation. I'm curious to find out whether you are.

You've already said enough and distracted from a man giving a speech after he found out he has a terminal condition. You may wanna look inward bro.
This is Steve Jobs we're talking about, not the messiah. There's not much that can be said about him nowadays that will change my opinion of him. [Edit] Oh, and his pancreatic cancer was very much treatable when he was diagnosed. It only became terminal after he [wasted months thinking he could cure himself using herbs](https://www.bing.com/search?q=did+steve+jobs+wait+too+long+to+get+cancer+treatment).

Totally agree some managers do. There are blind and foolish people all over. My main beef with all of this isn’t that jobs was flawed. He was. Very much so. I probably wouldn’t want to work from him. Dunno. Never met him in person. My beef is that on CP people never say anything positive. There’s always something hateful by someone… dude can’t even die of cancer without immature people here being hateful.

I read these posts to learn something. Unfortunately, flaming others in posts is easier than sharing useful information and ideas. Thanks for not permitting a bad post to silence your replies. Steve Jobs accomplished something that nobody else can ever do. He created Apple. Others can create something like Apple, but not Apple.

And of course he replied. You are not the only one he responds to in this manner.
IKR? I told him I was ready to put an end to this thread twice. He kept responding. Somehow *I*'m the one wasting his time but he's the one who kept the thread going. He secretly enjoyed the conversation, no doubt about it. [Edit] And re-read the whole thread. He wasted no time to get onto the personal attack, apparently because of my blasphemy against St-Jobs... It's a cult, when you care so much about someone you don't know, never met, and whose life you haven't affected in any way, shape or form.

Yep. So intelligent but not very wise.

Ok, then you go do what he did. See how easy it is.

Accomplishing something challenging doesn't make you a genius. Nor does accomplishing something that would be beyond oneself. As I wrote, the word is so overworked and misused it is becoming meaningless.

It’s time you left me alone. I don’t need your hate in my life.

Now you're being silly. I just said the word "genius" is overworked, and by any sane definition of the word Jobs wasn't a genius. Mozart was, Newton was, Hawkins was. But that's my opinion, yours is clearly different, but to regard an opinion that differs from yours as "hate" is just immature.

You can think what you want. Your opinion means nothing. You don't understand the derailment. You are acting hateful.

Judging by your responses I don't think you are an actual human being. If you are, you have a lot to learn about life.

Dude this is a month old. I don't care at all what you think. You're not self-aware. Go away. You don't belong around people.
