Jobs was surely an inspiration, and although his manners and attitude might have been questionable to many, he still made things happen.

The comment about putting an apple on things probably means that either you never used an Apple device or you can't afford one, cos they all work better than any other PC technology, and that is a fact.

I buy apple devices on a daily Base, today i had apple pie and yesterday i had apple juice.

Well everytime when i want to buy something the first i think is "do i really need it" and then i buy it or not, its as simple as that.
I have no use for IPhone, i just need a cell phone, so i dont buy it, but in my circle of friends and acquaintances, almost every one bought IPhones because its a "must have" to be seen with. I still have my W595 thats good for me, i dont need more.
And i dont really care about Steve Jobs, the guy is dead get over it.
I dont give a dam who is inventing the stuff i buy, regardless of whether his Name is Steve Jobs or Puppulu Frufullu, i dont care about such hype.

And btw i surely can afford Apple products, but such huge amount of money i do rather spend them for beer and alcohol and a good party.

Frankly, I'd rather live in a future designed by Raaaid than one designed by Microsoft...

That comment caused me to laugh so hard I nearly choked!
I totally agree, by the way. Just an advertisement for young people who microsoft hope want to be cool. You know, the travel, business meetings, fashion, nice clothes etc. I admit, though that perhaps I am to old to understand the modern need to have instant access to gigabytes of useless information in one's hand. If I want a coffee I will follow my nose or ask someone. Much cheaper and you don't have to pay by the month.

I'd rather live in a future where the world still has forests, and the farmer is the most important person alive, where technology is for wasting time, because technology doesn't grow food, supply our planet with oxygen and filter out CO2, or pick up our garbage, list goes on....

machines don't get sick because of polution, don't have to pay to eat...
its like rich people want a way to spend less, so they invent machines that cost far less to operate than a person, so now the honest person has no money, and can't buy anything from the rich person, so now the rich person isn't getting any income anyway... one big cause and effect loop

Yes, an old conundrum. This bloke wrote a book on the subject. He seemed optimistic that there was a solution...
