I've noticed that the more elitist you are (i.e. Linux user), the more you hate this guy.
It's ironic because without him, you wouldn't being using a computer now.

Explain?
>>52953672
Everything you have was inspired by this.
The macintosh for UI.
>>52953672
Steve Jobs invented the modern computer.
>>52953652
The computers wouldn't be as pretty, and the software would be much buggier, but apart from that he didn't change much.
He just spearheaded the movement to make computers luxury products for teens, and not just machines for business and work.

>for teens
You mean young and revolutionary minds that change the world
>for business and work.
You mean the elderly and people who deserve to be in a graveyard
Love these buzzwords. Just admit that he was a huge influence.
>>52953698
>>52953689
MITS Altair 8800 came out in 1975
IMSAI 8080 came out shortly after
Commodore PET came out in 1977
Apple II came out in 1977
>Steve Job invented stuff
No. Steve copied stuff and and people claims that he invented it.
>>52953689
There were at least 8 generations of personal computers existing before Apple even came into existence. Apple is just one step and not the first,
and it certainly wouldn't be the only one who would continue to logical evolution of the personal computer into what it is today.

>Steve Jobs invented the modern computer.
Steve WOZNIAK, didn't invent RAM, didn't invent the CPU, didn't invent the GPU, didn't invent the HDD, didn't invent motherboards, didn't invent RAM...
>>52953689
>everything inspired by apple ii
Modern macs use pc hardware.
None of those things were computers. None of those things were modern.
At this point it's pretty stupid to think that Steve Jobs invented nothing.
He invented the computer, just as he invented the mobile telephone.
So what really happened: his company made some iconic products, which were more popular than (although made after) similarly functioning products.
>>52953813
Can you give us a list of Jobs invented?
>>52953698
Except Steve didn't even know about it until he got fired. He wouldn't have supported it's development because it had a color display and expansion slots.
>>52953775
>MITS Altair 8800 came out in 1975
nobody cared
>IMSAI 8080 came out shortly after
nobody cared
>Commodore PET came out in 1977
someone barely cared
>Apple II came out in 1977
This is when people started caring. I remember entire university labs filled with Apple IIs
>Steve Jobs didn't invent stuff
He invented the entire trajectory of useful and inspirational computing
>>52953851
>Macintosh
This is not inventions, you retard. It's just a computer
>>52953851
Uhuh. It's a little more complicated than that.
Try posting patents next time. I assume you didn't because we can't have people seeing that the list is much bigger than Steve Jobs, and cross-referencing individuals in the list, now can we?
>>52953889
Whatever it is he invented it.
>>52953851
>iPhone
a smartphone
IBM Simon, Samsung Vessel, Samsung Slide already exist. All apple did was improve the smartphone
>Retina Display
correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't retina display just some term apple came up with for displays higher than a certain PPI? The did not invent pixels or and new type of display, all they did was to lump pixels closer to each other
>ipod
An over glorified MP3 player
>Macintosh
That's just a name given to a PC that apple made. Apple did not invent the PC
>ipad
Other tablets existed before did. What did apple invent
And notice I used 'Apple' in all my examples because lets face it, Jobs did not invent it. The engineers in Apple did
>>52953910
Patent trolls have made patents as proof of invention meaningless.
>>52953922
He didn't.
Cross-referencing the other inventors except Steve Jobs shows people who are actual engineers with actual inventions in comparison to a marketer like Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs gave an idea, Manock and Oyama gave the design, Steve Wozniak's inventions paved the inner workings.
Kill yourself.
>>52953937
Wow you are so stupid.
>>52953765
he was not a huge influence on tech. He was a marketing figure. He has the same place for computers as Ronald McDonald have for hamburgers. A marketing personality that never invented anything, but still was successful
>>52953971
Gr8 response m8
10/10 for effort
Jobs didn't do shit. He was just a faggy opportunistic business guy.
Wozniak did the important technical inventions.
>>52953939
Sure, since patent trolling is mostly people who bought patents rather than made them.
Sadly for you, the names in these patents for Apple devices are all engineers and designers who are known to have created this shit, and who have valid and legit academia.
But do continue being butthurt.
Also, Apple is one of those patent trolls.
>>52954000
Either way Steve Jobs name is in all of those patents anyway.
As Inventor.
>>52953971
He is not stupid, if he was wrong then you would have pointed out his mistakes, which you can't because he did not make any mistakes so you are left with a ad hominem logical fallacy as your only "argument".
There were hamburgers before McDonalds ever existed, and there would be hamburgers even if it never came into existence.
There were computers alike to the present Personal Computer design before Apple existed,
and there would be an evolution into today's design and operating standards even if it didn't.
Cry about it.
>>52954033
Actually UI design would be different as nobody would copy apple
And it would be a good bit better for it
>>52954018
But he sis not invent anything, he was the CEO. That is why his name is there, he was not any better at tech than your average /v/ baby.
>>52954022
He is stupid. You are stupid too. An mp3 player is not an iPod. A tablet is not an iPad. Those are inventions, products that only exist in this world because of Steve Jobs.
>>52954018
Yeah, he's honorably mentioned.
Sadly he didn't have the knowledge or skills to actually design those things, as evident by actual designers and engineers named in the patent, so it's pretty obvious why any site trying to credit Steve Jobs never puts out the patents.
It becomes obvious he merely marketed and had a vision, but the design and creation were steps following "having a vision" he didn't do.
If it weren't for Manock giving the design, and him bringing in Oyada to help, what you know as Macintosh wouldn't have at all looked as it does now.
>>52954018
>steve jobs invented the rounded rectangle
>we wouldn't have rounded rectangles without steve jobs
>tfw
>>52954070
That's true. But every phone in the world looks like the iphone by pure coincidence right.
why does anyone hate him / apple?
just don't use the products if you don't like them
He was a great visionary but not an inventor. He did what he did well, and his influence is undeniable as well as Apple's overall but they were, and are currently, pioneers rather than inventors.
>>52954096
yes and it's fucking horrible
the free market is awful. it's a tyranny of the normie majority and rule by the most convincing marketing department.
kind of like democracy itself
>>52954125
apple actually did some neat things, like supporting user themes and constantly improving usability. then steve jobs came in with his severe case of autism and decided that OS X would have the worst UI ever made, forever.
>>52953652
I'm a Windows user who doesn't know shit about computers and I hate him.
He was a New Age prick, and that shit with his daughter was despicable. I don't get the cult that surrounds this guy, whether you like Apple products or not.
He made a lot of people a lot of money, and because of that he's been idolized, except everyone claims more socially palatable reasons for hugging his dick.
>>52954145
It's called brand image and being intuitive, nerd. If you were a successful businessman or a dumb soccer mom you'd see the value in a computer that pisses off moderately intelligent and/or individualistic people aka "90% of the world population".
Here's a couple of facts:
Jobs was a fucking douche, both to his clients and his employees. He was a greedy and egostistical bastard, dude didn't even pretend to be a philantropist.
He was just an "ideas guy", his only contribution to the tech world was Apple's business model based on overpriced products marketed as exclusive shit aimed to clueless consumers.
Unlike RMS, I'm actually glad he's dead, one less douchebag in the world.
>>52954253
>Jobs was a fucking douche, both to his clients and his employees.
who the fuck cares? If you're a pussy then you don't deserve to work with Jobs anyway.
>He was a greedy and egostistical bastard,
And?
>He was just an "ideas guy", his only contribution to the tech world was Apple's business model based on overpriced products marketed as exclusive shit aimed to clueless consumers.
You mean his contribution was being an excellent motivational guru for technology. He inspired people to create organic technology instead of the cold lifeless shit that was flooding the market in the 70s (and that would later inspire the niche linux market).
>Unlike RMS, I'm actually glad he's dead, one less douchebag in the world.
RMS is a meme and delusional. The only people he inspires are basement dwelling nerds who have no impact on society.
>>52954334
>organic technology
>cold lifeless shit
I've never noticed a difference between this "organic" tech and this "lifeless" tech except for the former having a sterilized, corporate aesthetic and lots of purposeful omissions of features that are "too confusing/complex", ahem, i mean, "unintuitive"
By organic do you mean "akin to organic life in having zero or idiosyncratic functionality, and no more than it needs to survive"?
>>52954334
>>He was a greedy and egostistical bastard,
>And?
That's reason enough to dislike him, you weeaboo degenerate.
>>52953765
Hot air that expression in pic related.
>>52954334
Nice m8 b80
>>52953765
No, you mean easily moulded minds that will help you change the world.
>Introduce inferior tech that makes you more money, like laptops with only one port and no exchangable parts
>Sell it to teens
>If anyone wants the superior tech back they get met with "get with the times grandpa just buy a fucking adapter lol geriatric autist" and "oldfeature is dead, use the cloud"
>rake in the dosh on rapid device replacement, cloud services, and new adapters and cords
>>52953652
> you wouldn't being using a computer now.
He polished some existing technologies so that they're marketable to the masses, which enables economy of scale. That's about it. Had he not done it, someone else would still do it, but adoption would be slower, and limited to a nerd's realm.
Personally, I don't like him for popularizing chiclet keyboards, glossy displays, all touch devices, and unserviceable consumer electronics.
>>52954049
>An mp3 player is not an iPod. A tablet is not an iPad.
Yes it is, just with a apple logo and software on it.
>>52954334
> You mean his contribution was being an excellent motivational guru for technology.
It's just like "coders" who look for offensive variable names, that is not a real contribution.
>>52953652
Did Steve Jobs even know what a fucking script was?
He was the master of getting credit for other people's hard work.
>>52954554
he knew that scripts were for nerds and that real pros write in the very elegant language of objective C
>>52953712
(rather being an idiot than a racist/homophobic bigot)
>>52953698
(also smartphones and mobile tablets, GUIs, graphic software)
>>52954049
Are you even old enough to post on this 18+ board cupcake? You clearly have no idea what you are even thinking about, millennial trash.

This. Stallman's GPL because he doesn't like "big wealth" is one impediment against a middle class of programmers.
>>52953789
so he didn't invent RAM twice?
That's what I call dedication
>>52953652

>>Apple II came out in 1977
>This is when people started caring. I remember entire university labs filled with Apple IIs
apple II was build by wozniak not jobs
>>52953652
>>52953851
>Retina Display
literally just a buzzword
>>52953652
You know whats ironic you fucking moron?
Wozniak doing all the programming and engineering and this fucking faggot earning all the praise.
Jobs was not a tech guy, he was a fucking artist. A bad one.
He started the whole form > function movement in the tech industry that brings us slim phones that run out of battery within a day, laptops with only one port and other shitty, useless products.
Wozniak even said it would be the best for the consumer if they developed an open environment, with expand ability, more RAM etc. but this faggot dumped it all because he thought of tech as some kind of art.
Which it is not. Its quite the fucking opposite.
I hope this fag burns in hell for keeping us back so much.
