He actually did though. It just has a very negative impact.

He was a hack that in one fell swoop homogenized and neutered the design of cellphones for almost a decade. Good riddance.

Also ruined the internet forever.

Phone posters are cancer.

Steve Jobs invented the computer that was used to create the web.

>le prison made cool computer man
>was part of the original 60s/70s idealistic hacker mileiu with Stallman and the gang
>original apple computer was all about user liberation and instruction
>modern apple computer is a lock-in theme park where you're rused and extorted
>eventually threw the hacker dream out the window to farm rich dopes for neoshekels
He grew up in the dream and yet betrayed it for personal gain. Literarilly a textbook villain.

Richard M. Stallman is the only one you need to be on /g/

Steve Jobs, whether you like him or not completely turned the world upset down with the modern smartphone.

His biggest mistake was setting the world in motion and leaving us to deal with it without his guidance.

I'm not saying what he did was bad or good but he was the one to start the change, the least the faggot could have done was address his cancer instead of ignoring it and staying alive long enough to see his vision through.

Instead, we have this bastardized version of what people think Steve Jobs would have done and sometimes, we don't even get that. That pencil is one example.

The modern smartphone is a cancerous time-sink that shouldn't be celebrated by anyone.

That image sums it up well. Do not forget that tablets killed UMPC's which could have been "smartphones" except better, 2.0.

If anything, we gained something. Freedom.

I will admit, Apple has gotten considerably worse since he died

>Steve Jobs invented the computer that was used to create the web.
Steve Jobs never invented anything in his whole life. He just marketed other people's ideas, inventions, and accomplishments.

>>57147095
All of these things existed and no one liked them get over it.

>>57152952
this is a pedantic distinction to make but if you need to be accurate then congratulations on being technically correct but meaninglessly so.

portable music players were a small market until the ipod made it viable. same with smartphones. same with tablets. same with laptops pushing high pixel densities.

he doesn't get points for soldering shit together, because he didn't, but he gets points for being an important player in getting this shit into our hands. even if you use android, you should thank god we're not all using shit like the OpenMoko FreeRunner

Both the left and the right sides of that image are utter trash.
What's the point of this?
Apple has never had the best product in a given market.

>>57152978
>no one liked
They never made it to market, how do you gather that "no one" liked it? They never made it to market because everyone saw that they could just copy Apple and make a quick buck.
Your logic is fucking shit, get over it.

>>57153001
>he doesn't get points for soldering shit together
He doesn't get points for thinking anything up, either.

- Steve Wozniak invented the Apple 2.
- Xerox Parc Labs invented the GUI, the mouse, and everything else Jobs saw, stole, and marketed as the Mac.
- ad infinitum

The only thing Steve Jobs was great at was recognizing the potential in other people's ideas and inventions, marketing them, and taking credit for them.

You can do the same shit with a chink tablet from Aliexpress

>implying no-one liked physical keyboards on phones
If a phone came out with a bb-tier physical keyboard and actually had semi-decent specs for a reasonable price I would actually go out and buy it today.

He may have been a filthy hippie selling overpriced shit but at least the shit was of decent build quality. That spineless Cook takes orders from and is stepped all over by Ives.

It's an opinion. By definition, it is not right or wrong.

>>57147095
I can see the butthurt in your post and that image, but here's the rub: phones are consumer devices. For any mass-produced consumer object, the winner is almost always the one that's just good enough to do the job the consumer wants done.

The iPhone did the job consumers wanted done better than any other phone.

Android is winning on every segment of the phone industry.

I agree iPhone provide a sleek experience, but for the purpose of what? What do you aim at when you're pulling your iPhone from your pocket, turn it on, then wonder whether to painfully browse 4chan or Twitter or to turn it off instead of reading a book?

Which /g/entooman doesn't only use their smartphone as a 4G hotspot anyway?

Finally, what does an iPhone provide that an iPod touch doesn't?
