To Steve Jobs lovers
 

I'm not a Steve Jobs "fan" but I don't hate him.
But that is so sad

Lol, I'm not suggesting anyone hate Jobs, he wasnt a bad man overall. My problem is people like Dennis Ritche get ignored, even though they did things that changed the world, mostly because they don't stand on a stage to sell their new product.

:idc:

Cult of personality. Just like Apple's cult of image. I have friends doing computer science courses who were very outspoken about this as well.

Apple fanboys must be some of the worst around.

It's not a competition. I'm sure Mr. Ritchie had many people that loved him and miss him (like you). Why are you comparing them?

Both were loved, and both are missed by many people. It's not a competition.

Putting dead bodies up against each other in some kind of comparrison DEATH MATCH is disgusting to me. Both are dead, may they both Rest in Peace.

Who said it was a competition? Just showing respect for a guy who didn't get as much as he should of.

well then why is Steve Jobs even mentioned in this thread?? and why is the OP putting pictures of the 2 next to eachother like some kind of boxing match??

he created the letter c?

wat idgi

For the sake of comparison and to help prove the point.

I would have thought that was fairly obvious.

so, he's comparing one man's life to another, that is comparisson, and pitting one dead man against another. I find that disgusting and disgraceful.

They are both great men, there's no need to pit them against each other in death.

Because they died in the same week, its not any sort of "deathmatch" as you think, I'm just telling Steve Jobs fans that they could show some appreciation to Dennis too

After reading it, I appreciate his work and may he RIP.

But it's not exactly anyone's fault that they haven't heard of him, it's the fault of the press or whoever that hasn't publicised him enough. Just because I'm a Steve Jobs fan it doesn't mean I'm unappreciative of any other technology genius, and it's a bit unfair to say that any fan of Steve Jobs would be.

No, he is comparing one man's achievements to anothers. I'm pretty sure they both had equal right to live.

Keep trying though. You'll get to it eventually.
