Steve Jobs died

[Dragonium]

That baffles me.

Not because I was particularly saddened by either, but because I don't see the connection at all.

Sudden media coverage.

Also she's dumb.

Steve Jobs did a lot for computers back in the 80s and maybe even early 90s but modern Apple has jack **** to do with the original goals they had with computers, and are pretty much just pandering to hipsters with lots of money to blow. Which is betteri n the long run for them as a company, it makes them a shitload more money, but it's kinda sad.

Technically late 70s :V. The Apple II was in 77.
But yeah. He's done a ton of really awesome stuff for computing and entertainment as a whole (he helped start Pixar, and I'm pretty sure teenagers would be dead nowadays without mp3 players), and I greatly respect the man. Just not his products and/or company and/or fans.

he helped start Pixar

That's more than enough for me.

Sounds like a healthy relationship.

[Dragonium]

Good guy.

Dodgy business practices, but I suppose that's necessary when you get to his level.

Fix'd.
I refuse to talk to her, now. She's one of the vainest people I've ever met.
But, enough about girl problems, that's not what Charas is for.
