Steve Jobs vowed to 'destroy' Android

[Originality]

I wonder if he forsaw Android overtaking iOS as the primary OS on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets). Apple are falling behind in the technology race, with ASUS announcing the 5-core Transformer Prime next month and another phone/tablet hybrid early next year.

good thing he dead what evil guy hopefully apple wont suck now

Also i didnt see this comment till now. WTH? You realize SJ was the reason apple was doing so well right? Now apple is in big trouble, Hense the underwhemling iPhone 4s.
Not to mention thats a horrible thing to say about anyone.

 

[Satangel]

This is also him, despite what the media is trying to make of him.
He wouldn't have succeeded anyway IMHO.

So basically he wanted to destroy the competition, surely this is illegal and is called monopolizing the market, Apple has a solid product that has a bigger user base then android, in most peoples opinions hes already dominated the market, whats wrong with letting someone else have a bit of the pie

It's called Corporate greed. You know, one of the key things that brought about our current recession. People wanting it all and will do anything they can to keep it all for themselves, even destroy others to get it.

When I read this news a few hours ago, I gathered that it surfaced now there's an all-access biography in progress. Or something along those lines.

The Android user base has already outgrown Apple's, I believe. I should recheck the numbers.

I cant help but wonder if its going to be extremely skewed from what actually happened, because of the huge dichotomy of worshipers and haters.

If it hasnt its close, considering the number or iphone users is remarkable, but the sheer amount of others who have an Android enabled device is staggering.

....What? First of all, I doubt Apple will change. Steve built up a company with people that he feels are seeing his vision. And he put Tim Cook in the position as CEO since he obviosuly felt that Tim would pick up where he left off(Before death.. But eh).

Also "good this he dead". Firstly, lern2english. And second of all, You're a dick for saying that

If I'm right, it overtook quite some time ago.

i wouldnt be surprised

 

[Bobbyloujo]

I would've liked to destroy Mac OS 1 because it's a total rip off of Xerox's operating system. But whatever Steve, you're so innovative.

 

[EZ-Megaman]

Hard to feel sympathetic after he said that. I personally hate Apple anyway (for a few reasons but I won't reamble about that here) so I'd be supporting the other side. =/

 

[Crimson Ghoul]

Isn't OSX just a distribution of linux? just with a bigger following and more support? and haters gonna hate... even from beyond the grave

 

[Bobbyloujo]

OSX is Unix based. Unix is like an outdated version of Linux.

 

[yusuo]

You know whats really disturbing, Apple has more cash (as in physical money) than the US government.

I know Microsoft have a big wallet but atleast they are trying to do something good with theirs, with bill gates putting half of microsofts profits into the bill and melinda gates foundation.

Apple could do alot of good with their 40 billion, for one they could invest it in a charity maybe not all but atleast half of the pure profit. Secondly they could lower their prices therefore building a bigger market for themselves drawing more people away from android, which would help in eliminating the android competition. But no the greed of charging $600 dollars for a piece of equipment that cant be worth more in materials than $300 will no doubt build up there profit line.

Ah well ya know what they say the rich get richer while the poor get poorer.

And yup Mac is just a spinoff of Linux, built off the same base and everything, unlike Linus Torvalds, Steve Jobs decided he wanted to charge for something that is still being developed and released for free even now

The comment of their system being copied I found somewhat amusing considering Xerox's trade in photocopiers.

Haha, punny x)

lol well I'm glad I don't have to rely on apple for all my fun online but it will be interesting if android did actually become the next big thing. I probably wouldn't buy one though.

Yeah and also what is interesting is that Jobs was totally anti-corporation and corporate greed when they founded Apple. I guess his vision changed dramatically since then. As far as people saying he was greedy with money, who am I to say. I think he had less money than Gates and Gates decided to become a philanthropist but Jobs might have as well. I haven't seen any news article specifically stating that Jobs definitely did not but I mean realistically it is up to them and plus would anyone on this whole forum see any of the money? well, no.

One would only hope. I am fascinated when I see people with touch screen phones that are not iphones. Apple's stuff has cool apps but I don't need one. I just look to see what people have and keep my cash where it belongs aka in the bank. People splurge money on all kinds of tech stuff that they don't even need and I'm happy without all that crap.

good thing he dead what evil guy hopefully apple wont suck now

yeah seriously death isn't good to joke about. I wasn't a huge fan of Steve Jobs but if he was still alive I would be as indifferent about it as I am right now anyway. I don't like his business tactics, he needed a shrink and a life therapist as well because of that skipping out on surgery because it would violate the body. The body is going to turn into earth eventually that is a greater violation than the living under a scalpal.

It will be interesting how Apple turns out but their computers are still going to have this girly too pretty / "I am a yuppie scum" look to them which was entirely against Jobs ethic from the start. What an odd man.

OSX is Unix based. Unix is like an outdated version of Linux.

It isn't really on top of AT&T's operating system which is the original Unix. OS X is Darwin made by Apple with a GUI on top which the whole package they call OS X. Outdated? I doubt it. But Linux likely is more flexible. OS X is package based and so are some distributions of Linux but not all.
