The Mans politics set aside....
An incredible visionary that brought us all a ton of great products...
The personal Computer would not be so personal without having had him

Truely a sad day. His innovations made the computer world what it is today.
Imagine what we would have now if Apple wouldnt have fired him in the 80s.

on the news bulletin they played a clip of him talking about technology.
he said people want big, clear screens they can put put photos on. they want everything portable, no wires.
this was like 30 years ago.

He will be missed, I am sure he was the apple in someones eye.

RIP as a hard core apple guy I can say he will truly be missed.
Jobs leaves AAPL w/ $350.67B mkt cap (as of today's closing price).
HE got his wish.
It is bigger than IBM (211.21B) or MSFT (216.91B).

I don't agree with the man's Politics, but his innovations and leadership put us in an iWorld.
Without the iPod, Mac Air, and the iPhone we might have eventually gotten around to it, but his vision got us here sooner.
You can say what you want but the man built one of the biggest companys in the world.

I just hope the company keeps being innovative. watch the prices of APPL drop tomorrow, maybe a time to pick it up in the coming days.

yeah I am not old enough to know these things, I am 26! thought I read 76 but I was wrong! thanks for catching that.
I am truly amazed at what they accomplished, and how jobs was able to turn things around and really emerge as a great company. I imagine there are very few homes in the US that don't have something with an "I" in them.

The world of technology has lost a pioneer.
Rest in peace Mr. Jobs.
Before we get a little to carried away here are a few reality checks.
1. GUIs (the foundation of Apple is a Xerox invention)
2. While his name appears on at least 10 patents for Apple, they are all collaborative with a team of people and are all to do with the aesthetics and shapes. No engineering or electronics.
3. There would be no Apple today were it not for Bill Gates and Larry Ellison.
4. He created more jobs in China than the USA
5. He was to Apple what Donald Trump is to the Trump Empire. A visionary, a salesman extraordinaire a leader, but no Edison, Bell, Marconi.
6. Not to mention an ardent supporter of the moron in the white house.
7. If you think his politics weren't important and influential, let me ask this?
What do you think are the electronics of choice in the sea of unwashed scum that are Occupy Wall Street?
8. Lastly. How much financial resources did he donate to politicians and causes to deprive our brothers and sisters in California of there 2nd Amendment Rights?
Lets not get all sloppy and start the canonization just yet folks.
AAPL has the 2nd largest market cap below XOM (359.553B).
AAPL beat petro china not too long ago.
Some argues that there are some countries that break up the companies in pieces like Samsung, or Mitsubishi.
Even if Samsung (elec,SDI, SDS,C&T, etc)'s mkt cap was combined, it woult be near 200b.
Yes that is true but market cap is a pie in the sky number that is controlled at the whims of traders and investors. How about comparing the assets. I remember when Amazon was the flavor of the month. It had a market cap that exceeded the largest airlines, and they didn't own a warehouse or a truck. Wall Street has long since stopped reflecting an accurate picture of reality.

Yes, other Valuation Measures should be also used to valuate the company.
Yes, I remember when AMZN was losing $ per Q. I think they were profitable starting 2002ish. He was on a CNBC that day. This is why people should look at the book value on a balance sheet, and income statement. Basically look at all the Fundementals would fit "portion of the pie"
What was the P/E on RMBS during 1Q2000? Was it 1200ish?

AS of the June 2011 reports:
Exxon/Mobil had $326.204Bn in Total Assets and $170.653Bn in liabilities
Apple had $106.758Bn in Total Assets and $37.415 in liabilities.
Shit, Exxon had $209.807Bn in property, plant and equipment.

Book value alone is not a good way to valuate the company either.
for an example:
What if OWNER1 have a $5mil building (and or invested in capital) Restaurant w/ 200employee, but my rev/profit is only 8m/1m
In contrast, OWNER2 have a $1m (and or invested in capital) building restaurant w/ 10employee, but their rev/profit is 13/5m?
There are over >30 fundementals for people to take a look at.
(not to mention to see technicals, economic indicators, sector indexes, option/short ratios, vel of $ relative to change in indexes, etc^1000 )
AAPL is not that over priced relative to other tech/electronic companies (P/E (ttm): 14.96), and XOM is P/E (ttm): 9.75.
To make it relative, AMZN's PE Ratio is P/E (ttm): 96.82 , CVX has P/E (ttm): 8.27 , and COP has P/E (ttm): 8.07 .
btw, although I am defending AAPL's price, I am not a fan of AAPL.

Wow .. I've never attacked anyone personally as I'm about to .. and frankly by the time I'm done.. I deserve a ban ..
TSO...
This is about the man dying. frankly if you don't get how much of a hand that Jobs had on EVERY apple product since his return in 1996 and how much that has changed the entire computer industry.. then your a fucking idiot.
Mr Prena...
Again this is about a man dying .. before his time ( frankly Jobs was fairly young.. 56 years old.) and again if you think he had zero to do with the way computers work today .. your a fucking idiot too..
did apple invent the mouse GUI?..No.. did apple bring it to the masses and market the fuck out of it ( with the permission of xerox) ? YES.
Did apple invent the smart phone? no.. did apple make it explode in the last 5 years? YES. has apple by many measures beat exxon for total value in the last few months? YES.
you hate apple hate apple I don;t give a rats ass.. this thread is about a man . a man with a family that has died much too young and frankly before hs time. has some fucking respect. you jack asses.
7. If you think his politics weren't important and influential, let me ask this?
What do you think are the electronics of choice in the sea of unwashed scum that are Occupy Wall Street?
I've got over a dozen apple products sitting within 20 feet of me right now .... so does that suddenly make me one of those occupy wall street people??? ... no .. so go fuck yerself.
you wanna make a thread bashing apple go right the fuck ahead. I made this thread about a man who died.
I'll take my ban now... email me at clublights@mac.com and let me know for how long.
Meh. I give it a 6/10.
You called MrPrena an idiot (check that - a "f***ing idiot) for simply being baited into a debate...much like you just did. Hope your day lightens up pal, bc you're definitely outta character.

No it doesn't but I can't wait for George Soros, Robert Mugabe, Sarah Brady, achmed ahmadinejad, to pass so we can watch you sing their praises. Not to mention all the Hollyweid icons who hand over billions collectively to deprive Americans of their constitutional rights.
Haven't been here that long, suppose you were singing Ted Kennedy's praises as well.
The mere fact that you failed to to make any valid challenge to any of facts or opinions but opted to attack the messenger instead serves only to prove there is no there, there. Bragging that you own multiple over-priced Apple products is yet another indicator or the "I've got mine, screw everybody else" mindset.
Oh by the way, all it takes is one EMPB and your Apples are toast while my Rolex and 69 Chebby will still be running.

What did any of those people do to make society as a whole a better place?
What rights of yours are being deprived by Hollywood? I'm trying really hard not to turn a memorial thread into a political one. But you have me fired up enough to.
This is about remembering someone who made a difference in this world.
Clearly you don't agree with Steve's politics but no one can argue he didn't change the way everyone (except maybe you) interacts with technology and each other.
Bragging that you own multiple over-priced Apple products is yet another indicator or the "I've EARNED mine, now everybody else go EARN theirs" mindset.
I fixed that for you.
Perhaps you need be to downtown or in NYC with the other misfits complaining (whining) how the "system" isn't fair because others work for what they have and you want your "fair share" of that work.

WHAT'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM!?

My question was: What's the problem with buying products from those who have them made elsewhere, or those who are left leaning, or whatever? If it's a good product I'll buy it- I still support my GOP and Conservative lawmakers. Just because Jobs wasn't a "good republican" doesn't mean the things he made and the products his company sells are any worse.

Let me see if I got this straight.
Buying/liking Apple products is bad because Steve Jobs was a liberal and a lot of liberals use Apple products?
But buying an American car (made by UAW workers who's dues are used to fund the extreme left of the Democrat party) is some great act of patriotism?
Furthermore, as a good American (and a Christian and a capitalist). I should say bad things about a dead super successful capitalist because he happened to vote for Democrats and make products that stupid hipsters use (but also Rush Limbaugh loved)?
I'm confused (and just how much money has Bill Gates given to Republicans?).
Doh!

Well, this thread has gone off track...
I pray for the Jobs' family. Steve died too young and by a terrible disease. Just reminds us all that no matter how immortal we think we are, we will all die sooner or later.
I'm not an Apple fan, but they do have some good products that I use everyday. Steve did change the way the computer game was played.

This thread.. WAS about memorial to a man that died that in my opinion and at least a few others around here changed the world as we know it...
What your doing is like me going to your funeral and walking up to Mrs. TSO and saying " I'm not sorry he's dead. he was an asshole." you don't do that shit at the funeral.. you go to the bar down the road with your buddies and call him an asshole. have some fucking class.

Without darkness there can be no light. it takes both sides of the coin to make the world run. and frankly I'd rather not live in a world without both in it .

Also ... if denver got hit with a EMP blast I think the last thing on my list of things to worry about is that my fuckin iPod stopped working.
Of the dozen apple products around me .... only 2 of the 7 computers were bought new... the rest I saved pennies and bought used. the other products ( iPod, 3 iPhones, AppleTV, Apple router) were bought new and not only were competitive on pricing for what they do .. I use them every day ( well except the old iPhones... I just keep those around cuz I'm a nerd like that) the "overpriced" mantra is played out.. go build a machine that is spec for spec with an apple computer and the price will be within 10%.. I'll pay the 10% to not have to use windows.. than you VERY much.
Some were dropped on their head, some were thrown against the wall.
In either case if it is necessary to have to explain to a so called "adult" how to join the dots to see the whole picture, it is a pointless exercise.
This is why we don't do cosmetic surgery on corpses.

I dunno what to even say to this one .. other then to refer to the top of my post about being so narrow minded.....
So Like others have asked I'll ask again ...
hell I'm just going to quote him since I can't say it any better ....
Let me see if I got this straight.
Buying/liking Apple products is bad because Steve Jobs was a liberal and a lot of liberals use Apple products?
But buying an American car (made by UAW workers who's dues are used to fund the extreme left of the Democrat party) is some great act of patriotism?
Furthermore, as a good American (and a Christian and a capitalist). I should say bad things about a dead super successful capitalist because he happened to vote for Democrats and make products that stupid hipsters use (but also Rush Limbaugh loved)?
I'm confused (and just how much money has Bill Gates given to Republicans?).
you say we are all stupid... wait the quote was dropped on our heads....
since we can't connect the dots... but as far as I can tell your connecting the dots on giraffe and calling it a zebra.

From
"Thanks Bill [gates]" in front of the screen to a 2nd biggest company in the world is huge accomplishment.

I like this country. I do not like our CIC. I'm sure many of you feel the same.
In the same vein, I like Apple's products (I'm typing this on my MacBook, with an iPod and an iPhone in the other room)... but I do not like their (former) CEO.
I don't see why there's a problem with this.
If I may ask which one?
John Scully who outed Jobs.
Michael Spindler who drove AAPL to trash can
Gil Amelio who somewhat restructured AAPL , but still fail to turn AAPL around.
BTW, I remember this article from Sep this year.

What is it with a liberal mind that instead of reading the words that are in front of them they choose to assume they know what the words said?
!. Go back and find anything in this thread where I said Apple products were no good and that no one should buy them? I simply said go do a little research before having an orgasm. Perspective. Keep the praise in perspective. Something modern Americans have a big problem with. The reason being that this society has been so condition to accept mediocrity that anything that is 1% above mediocrity is touted as the second coming, obama included.
What I was amazed at was the clamor from these circles to jump on the "Lets sing Steve Jobs praises" bandwagon just to be part of the "in crowd".
If you want to heap praise on a life you make damn sure you look at the whole life, not just the part that suits your preconceived notions.
What tortured logic do you need to use to rationalize putting money in the pocket of your enemy. Or maybe the reality is you aren't that wild about freedom and rights to begin with. And that is cool. But if your decision to put money in the hands of people who are the enemy of my rights and every other freedom loving American, that is going to be a problem and I will call foul.
As far as joining dots. How many people including servicemen and women who served and are serving in war zones as well as their families and friends purchased their home appliances from GE? The same GE that was using one of its German holdings to violate international sanctions to sell equipment to the Iranian regime who was using the stuff to make weapons for the folks they were supplying whose soul purpose was to attack and kill the American men and women who had in their ranks the folks who bought the appliances.
How many people who claim to hold the Constitution dear continue to do business with companies like Conoco Philips who blatantly violate their employee's 2nd Amendment rights? Or 7-11 who fire employees for defending their life on the job with a firearm? How many people were buying and still do from Ethan Allen Furniture while the owner was fully aware that his American born kid was in Afghanistan fighting Jihad and the old man was involved with radical Islamist groups.
I am weary of imposters on my team.

I am buying this movie. Better than a movie "Social Network."
WHen I first watched at a class on yr 2000ish , debate was more about what did AAPL did wrong.
So many Apple haters at that time.
People didn't give a crap about apple, when they weren't doing good. HOwever, when Apple start to do good, people got into apple wagon.

HUH???????
Trying to talk like yoda does not make you intelligent, or mystical.
" dropped on your head" has been a euphemism for stupid/dumb for as long as I can recall. What else would those words have meant oh mystical one?
So since you have this whole global conspiracy thing going ...
Who's products do you buy that are not "evil" ? of the two you have mentioned so far .. rolex... a swiss company.. and "Chebby" ( Chevy... UAW.. one of the liberal's and Obama's biggest contributors.... )
Who's products are we allows to buy and not be a "RINO" in your eyes?

7. If you think his politics weren't important and influential, let me ask this?
What do you think are the electronics of choice in the sea of unwashed scum that are Occupy Wall Street?
Not exactly a glowing review....
Bragging that you own multiple over-priced Apple products is yet another indicator or the "I've got mine, screw everybody else" mindset.
Oh by the way, all it takes is one EMPB and your Apples are toast while my Rolex and 69 Chebby will still be running.
Again... I'd not call that an endorsement....
You wanted examples.. here ya go .... I swear.... narrow narrow minded..
Apple political contributions from 1999-present +$776,000. Of that 19% to Republicans, 59% to Dems.
Steve Jobs political contributions as of 2004 were $229,000. Of that 91% $209K went to Dems, $19K to special interests ?? and $1000 to Republicans.

why do you think the first sentence of this entire thread is "The Mans politics set aside...."
he was a flaming liberal.. we ALL knew this .... doesn't change the fact he was an amazing innovator.
so you gonna answer the questions I've asked in my posts.. or just gonna spout information we all already knew???

So in your tortured logic, the statement that a product is the choice of the Occupy Wall Street slime, actually says this is a no good product, don't buy it.[ROFL1]

That is like saying, "Setting aside his hate of the Jews", and the fact that he was an ego maniac, we all knew this, doesn't change the fact Hitler was a brilliant politician.
It is all or nothing.

He must have sent an itunes bill to Chuck Norris.
Alright, R.I.P. my first taste of computers was the Macintosh back in the 6th grade. Got me hooked. But I couldn't build my own hot rod apple so I don't know what he had to offer me since.
