magine a designer comes up with a radical new idea like "lets prototype a tablet". 99.99% of company execs would point out that tablets flopped in the 1990's and say "no" or "lets form a committee".

+1

and same with the iPod (yes you could buy MP3 players earlier if you were a geek but 'most' people didn't know or get why they would want one) and the iPhone (all the handset manufacturers refused to make a touch screen phone for years on account of it not being what people wanted)

Do you just keep posting more and more offensive stuff until someone reacts? I'm all for not name-calling around here, but you really do come across as a cock sometimes. Why do you look for attention in this way?

There is a piece in the New York Times about all the patents Jobs has his name on. It demonstrates how involved he has been in product design. Oddly there is even a patent for a staircase design!

I really do hope its not terminal and he really is just getting better/retiring. Bloody awful. I don't know why the thread is defending into slagging off 'fans' of Apple.

I own a Apple Classic (love the design), ipod and a G4 ibook.

What should we do? Stick to the old Amstrad-type designs?

I can only assume that your name is ironic, iLovemygears.

I see what you did there.

.....nailing your colours to the mast that is. Good to see my earlier comment, on the zealotry of anti-apple bods, being demonstrated so comprehensively.

TheMan, as the saying goes,

Or as the cool kids say, "do not feed the troll."

I'm sure the tail-end of this thread has a purpose, but can't you all just exchange 'yo mommas' and call it quits?

I keep thinking he'll tire himself out...you know, like a baby having a tantrum. But he just keeps going. Agree with cougar though about arguing with an iDiot.

I am not arguing with it.

I like to think what I am doing is more akin to trapping a wasp in a pint glass, and then tapping the glass to see what the reaction is.

This is an unpleasant thread. It's really getting worse round here.

Suggestion:

Person 1: Hey! Yo Mama!
Person 2: No way, bro - yo Mama!
Person 1 (laughing): Right on. Let's go get ratted.
Person 2 (grabbing wallet): Sweet.

Happiness ensues.

I take your point. But only really since the intervention of one poster in particular.

Agreed.

It's not an unpleasant thread. It just contains a single unpleasant element.

I shouldn't bite but I can't let this go.

That's Foxconn, not Apple. They make components for Apple, sure, and just about everyone else. Got a games console? Foxconn inside. PC? Laptop? Phone? Most likely they'll all have Foxconn parts.

Enjoy that moral highground, the only way you'll avoid Foxconn is by becoming Amish. Which I sincerely suggest you consider.

Well ok, but only if you promise to clean up after it. This task should not be underestimated though, because as we can see, this particular breed produces an awful lot of shit.

Quite sad really, for all modern technology etc we are all responsible for the conditions of workers with parallels to the 19th century millworkers of old 🙁

Well it looked like this week's Chat magazine award for the most pathetic post was going to

umm you do know he is meant to be dieing of Aids dont you, it was a huge net meme.

then I realised it was ilovemygears which means it's more about mental health issues than being a sad and pathetic little creature with nothing better to do with it's time.

Your carer really should monitor your use of that computer

What's worse? The bear? Or the guys with sticks poking the bear?

No comment made as to who ^^^^^^ is playing which roles!

Depends. Did the bear start acting like a complete **** before or after the poking started?

My main worry about starting this thread was whether it would turn into an I-heart-Apple Vs I-hate-Apple thing. But no, it's got much worse. 🙁

Yep, but like all these things, you have to take a step back and say "Would they be better off without these jobs? Is the money improving their economy and standards of living?"

I think for the first time my opinion has been changed by a thread on STW - if ilovemygears was my child, I'd pay for them to live in an apartment far away from the family home....

I guess a bear's a bear and it's gonna acts bearish because it's, well, a bear. I'm not sure what good poking it is going to do no matter if the bear is a complete *.

All IMO, of course.

😀

Don't beat yourself up over it. Thread will probably be closed soon due to the comic stylings of iLoveMyGears. Poor little thread never stood a chance.

from Steve Jobs to ilovemygears.....

"By the way, what have you done that's so great? Do you create anything, or just criticise other's work and belittle their motivations?"

Nice to know Steve Jobs reads STW.

Steve, if you're reading this, I'd like to say:

I like you, Steve. You have style and a neat business sense. Your jumpers, also, are first class.

Well done on the G3 Pismo. That's a cool bit of kit. The G4 iBook, on the other hand, I could have done without.

Best wishes,

plus, although not a big fan of iStuff, thanks for the alternatives to Windoze and Intel.
