roadhse ma Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 since early 1900's Think about it the Company his Legacy resides with.... My Great Grand Parents Era So here comes and there goes Thomas Alva Edison The Henry Ford of My Grand Parents Era and My Parents the 50's im sure other important items besides Rock & Roll hmm The Pacemaker, TV became popular ,the Pill, Teflon cookware and of course in 1959 The Microchip Think about that last one for a moment Steve Jobs started Apple in the 70's less than 20 yrs after the Micro Chipand in the early 70's IBM stated we have no use for a mini computer from tech support history ...Two smart college students, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, built a machine in their parents’ garage, called it Apple and went into business in a modest way. So you Steve Jobs left this place better and more efficient than you found it a Truly Great Contributor .... Thanks again and a Big Thanks to those at Apple who will carry the Torch and Light other new Fires of Invention Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Amaranthine Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Absolutely innovative. I LOVE my ipod touch and am waiting for my service provider to start supporting iphone--it's gotta happen eventually. The practicality and creativity blended into the ipod/iphone, as well as the ipad which is on my tech wish list, are amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Watch for Apple stock to take a bit of a dip today. And probably stay lower until they have another successful new product launch, post-Jobs. Just a guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Apple stock has been down for a couple weeks anyway. It is still undervalued even now. Aside from that, the word genius is thrown around alot, but clearly Jobs was a genius. The iphone is still one of the great inventions of all time. Think about it: a hand held computer, camera, music player, phone, etc. Its really a fucking miracle. Just the other day I was discussing with my bro-in-law how it is no longer even rude to be talking to someone and checking your hand held device (well some folks think so and in some circumstances perhaps), because it is now so ubiquitous. And it even spells for you. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I had you fingered for an old school flip phone. Well comrade had you checked about six or nine months ago, that's what I would have had. When AT&T finally gave me a new phone I coped an iPhone 4, which is something I wanted for a long time. My cheapee flip phone sucked. I am now addicted to this iPhone like everyone else who has one. (Guess what - this creapy old guy is on Facebook and Twitter too, though not so much Twitter.) LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
