Topic: Steve Jobs: 1955-2011

iTunes was for iPods and then when music turned profitable.  I honestly don't know what they were thinking with Safari. 

Though notice that there productivity software doesn't migrate off of their platforms.  Which many people seem to prefer.

Quicktime would be the biggest example of an Apple product on PC in my mind though.

MS sells its software across the board because it's a smart decision. It allows for the largest possible install base for anything else they put out down the road. Apple has been shooting itself in the foot by forcing their OS to flounder while selling gadgets left and right.

Hey at least I know I can install Windows now in case I accidentally buy a Mac

Not exactly a shinning example, now is it?

Safari is on Windows because of Mobile Safari, as a way of letting web developers test compatibility with the iPhone and iPad browser. Now that the iDevices are ubiquitous it's not an issue to find one to test on directly, but early on this was Apple's solution.

Steve Jobs is amazing because he was at one time an employee who was fired. People didn't recognize his talents until it was too late and he changed the face of the world and the future to come.

was it last year or the year before all the celebrity death threads got bumped?

Sony just got the rights to make a film based on Steve Jobs' biography. I nominate Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play Jobs. He's a great actor and has already played a charismatic leader in a cinematic classic, Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe. I hope they somehow include a scene about the MobileMe meeting.

Jobs: Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?
MobileMe team member: Well, uh, it's a-a-a a subscription based collection of web services where uh, users can access their um, personal data from any Apple device with [clears throat] internet access.
Jobs: So why the **** doesn't it do that? You have tarnished Apple's reputation! You should all hate each other for letting each other down!

[Stogi]

Haha how awesome would it be if they picked Sean Bean?

I hope carving a huge apple logo on the moon with a doomsday laser is a major plot point

I always imagined that last line would be:

Jobs: So why the **** doesn't it do that? You have tarnished Apple's reputation!  Everyone line up for your floggings on the way out of my sight and have your family here on Tuesday for their floggings for your shame.  Now Leave me.

Wait a minute are you telling me that Steve Jobs will be Chairface Chippendale?

[S-U-P-E-R]

That was also one of Cobra Commander's master plans in the old cartoon!

[Shaymin]

Man, how are they going to work 25 thousand pieces of Sony product placement into a Steve Jobs movie?

[BlackNMild2k1]

Everything at Apple HQ was actually developed on Vaio's.

The Biggest Industry Secret you were never supposed to know.
