    He was the most famous business leader to ever admit that he benefitted from using LSD.

    I honestly think that with all of the technology we have today the government and doctors probably could find a cure for cancer, but they are banking off of it so much that they would be taking a pay cut if they found a cure. Cancer is a terrible thing though, I don't think there is one person who can say they have never ever known anyone who has cancer.:(

    On Cancer.

    Hey, Here's an Idea. Everybody is talking about bringing back the economy by spending Fed money on infrastructure.

    I recently heard some interesting new statistics. (Check CNN.com or the American Cancer Society)

    Did you know that one out of two men WILL have cancer in their lifetime?

    Did you know that one out of three women WILL have cancer in their lifetime?

    Let's end BOTH Wars today and put every Billion into a cure for cancer that is owned by the public. Each of you own the patent. This would in turn someday balance the trade deficit with China and India and other nations. And end the Depression as well.

    And cancer is cured. Forever!

    "My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Great things in business are not done by one person, they are done by a team of people." Steve Jobs quote

    I can't take away from Steve Jobs and his accomplishments. What I think is sad is that many great people die every day and go unnoticed. They may not be great in the sense Steve Jobs was, but they were great family providers, dedicated to causes, service providers, etc. Unfortunately, many of the great people who pass lack the celebrity to be newsworthy.

    That would never happen.

    They put wayyyy too much money into these multimillion dollar facilities for "cancer treatment/research." Do you honestly think they'd go and find a cure now and let those facilities go to waste? Hell no.

    Population control.

    I don't really get all the fad (Ifad), but he did some cool stuff and it's sad he died so young.

    Cancer sucks.

    I just read this quote and I thought it was awesome. ‎

    "Taking lsd was one of the two or three most important things I've done in my life" - Steve Jobs

    A testament to the power of lsd.

    I never bought his products, got the shuffle for free... And yes I do admit that he is a genius, he made billions by selling horrible products. The man has to be smart to be able to do that.

    I don't think anyone's disputed that. Some have just pointed out that he was a pretty unethical genius.

    Picture giving many examples

    That's the part that I quoted. "Shitty products" is exactly disputing that.

    I wasn't discussing Jobs' ethics. They may be questionable but I think my point stands.

    I guess I should clarify, all apple products in at least the last 10 years are shit. I'm talking about when apple became really popular with the imac and ipods until now. And if you look at the computer's specs and pricing there really isn't any denying. I also did not say I didn't think he was a genius, he is obviously a very smart man. I just strongly dislike his ethics and I think anyone who has bought an apple computer in the last 10 years has gotten seriously ripped off. He was apart of the 1% who dosn't give a fuck about any of us, who just wanted our money to line his greedy pockets, and for that people love him.

    I have had no problems whatsoever with all of my Macs. In an earlier post you pointed out that the MacBook Air will probably break if you drop it. If you drop your computer that is your problem, not Apple's, not Steve's.

    You maybe right about the products being overpriced. But the fact that you don't like the price tag doesn't make it a shitty product.

    That is what I mean when I speak about being objective. That rant just isn't. Next thing you're gonna say you're happy the man just died of cancer?
