Q. From what I have read, he donated almost nothing to charity, was a complete tyrant as a boss and as a person, and took credit for other people's work (the engineers who worked for him). Why do people idolize this scum?
A. He didn't really do anything but create overpriced computers and advertise them using only emotional and personal appeal and not really using facts on how good they were inside.
People worship him mainly either because
a) they think he invented the first Mac and the first Mac OS
-Actually Steve Wozniak did, Jobs never even knew coding
b) they think his computers are superior to PC and are "futuristic"
-actually a gross over exaggeration as Apple simply sells horrible computers with a nice looking aluminum casing for a very large amount of money. Their business is actually selling overpriced computers that are too costly to upgrade, especially since you can't buy your own parts and replace hardware yourself, and releasing the "next big thing" to their fanboys with "future" technology at a higher price, which was actually available years before, but they don't know that, so they buy a WHOLE NEW computer at full price. From there, they discontinue support and retail of the previous model, forcing you to buy full price. Cycle continues.
c) They think that Macs are more powerful because how fast they are compared to their "old" PC.
-usually only when they bought a cheap prebuilt PC with unrealistic expectations of what it could do
d) They are hipsters, trying to use what is not popular, because they are "individuals"
e) they believe Steve Jobs invented the first smart phone
-The first smart phone was actually the IBM Simon, Apple just refocused on using touch screen technology, and have already been bested by competitors (see the Samsung Galaxy SII)
f) They believe the computers look so good and are incredibly expensive, they must be good
-basically meaning they look at the casing instead of opening it and looking around its insides
e) They have been turned into sheeple because of their advertising schemes
-I'm a Mac, I am better than everyone around me and am relatable because I too am a lax teenager, and you will always be an insubordinate in life until you buy me
f) They are majoring in liberal arts or some other useless degree and want editing programs.
-I always find this reason funny because the apple editing programs are not worth $500+ in a computer, and how stupid can you be to only buy a computer just because of its editing programs instead of buying a good computer first, then buying the programs seperate?
i) they are too oblivious to technology and how computers work (like processors, mobos, RAM, etc.)
-From here, Apple takes advantage of these people, it is very well known that they overcharge for their products
From there, they attribute all this "futuristic" technology to Steve Jobs and think he is an absolute genius for making something so "simple" and "innovative"
Whenever you encounter a Mac fanboy who claims Mac to be better than PC through the amazing genius of Steve Jobs, ask them how much their computer cost and what its specs are, and I guarantee you they will stop talking.
@Vomit
I have no problem with people liking the OS from Apple, I'm fine with that, OS is personal preference (if you don't intend to make your computer a gaming computer or expect it to do more than a basic computer would)
The Problem is that people mostly praise Steve Jobs for "reinventing" the computer when Apple, in reality, makes really bad computers (hardware wise) and suck their customers's wallets dry of cash by taking advantage of how little computing knowledge they have.
Sure, Steve Jobs saved Apple from debt, but what did he really save? A corrupt and manipulative monopoly on popular but worthless computers? He doesn't deserve worship for that.
My phone went through the wash? Help?
Q. My samsung galaxy s went through the wash about 6 hours ago. It had this case around it:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-PREMIUM-LEATHER-WALLET/dp/B003ZF25V4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339001981&sr=8-2
I tried to opening it about 15hours ago and it wasn't opening with ot without the charger. I've now left it in rice with all of the components seperate.
Will it ever work again? what should I do, I think the case helped because i couldn't feel any water inside the phone, but it still wasn't working. How much longer should i leave it?
A. I had that happen with 2 phones one worked one didnt,I think the galaxy has alot of delicite components so your going to need alot of luck.I blow dried it and it worked a bit but was never right.But I wish you all the luck!
