Uh.

Today, Apple is credited for creating the most beautiful technology, from colorful iMacs to sleek iPads.

How exactly is the iMac colorful?

#13. Take advantage of every little person involved in the programming of applications and lock down any kind of open development inside your corporation.


14. Stroke the sheep weekly with promised software updates and rumored upcoming product changes, but never deliver.

15. Promote an extensive new version of a stellar product, but never really add any beef to the new version and only drop the old version 100$. Oh and make the new version a smidge slimmer so that the product RUSHES off the shelves.





I reserve the right to extend my JobsISAWESOMZ list at a later date.

Uh.

Not much of a machine, but it was very popular...

I actually hated that era of machines. Even the towers sucked.

Can we get a "I slurp Steve Jobs" forum so those of us who could really not care less and are frankly getting annoyed by Apple vs. Unwashed Masses threads could avoid them altogether?

Serious request.

Don't want to, don't need to, don't care to. Tired of the Apple vs. Whomever battle on here.

Did I ask if it was a joke? No, I didn't.

It's tired, played out, and annoying.

You know what's really "tired"? People using that term. Holy cripes if you want to sound like a pretentious ******, please use the term "tired" more often.

PS, pull the stick out.

Serious request.

You did click on the thread of your own free will no?

You were aware of the content of the thread prior to clicking on the thread no?

How about in the future you don't read threads with topics that don't interest you? Serious Request.

 

[tko112204]

I hope "serious request" becomes a thing around here now.

Like, "Jerry really needs to give up the GM position already. Serious Request."

 

[Yeagermeister]

I'm tired of these Apple vs PC threads just chill.....serious request

#13. Take advantage of every little person involved in the programming of applications and lock down any kind of open development inside your corporation.

Makes now sense.

14. Stroke the sheep weekly with promised software updates and rumored upcoming product changes, but never deliver.

Comical...

15. Promote an extensive new version of a stellar product, but never really add any beef to the new version and only drop the old version 100$. Oh and make the new version a smidge slimmer so that the product RUSHES off the shelves.

What product(s) are you talking about?
