I have my grievances with Apple and Steve Jobs, but they did a lot of good stuff too. I am grateful for their contributions to CUPS and xserver. Moreover, they help to promote OpenGL and even initiated OpenCL.

How exactly is Steve Jobs 'greedy and evil', when the man drove a 2008 car and owned a 1960 motorcycle, his wife has several charitable organisations, he donated moeney to fight AIDS in Africa and tore down his house to build a smaller one with only 5 bedrooms and a three-car garage? And stop comparing him to Bill Gates or his actions, he's not even in the Top 100 wealthiest men. But, hey, if he keeps shares in the industries he helped create or shaped (Pixar-Disney, Apple) he's a demon! And if I highlight this, then decency goes out the window - because Free Software and GPL... well, something.

Originally posted by scjet View PostI also emphatically said Stallman was "cold-hearted",..., regarding Job's death, if you would have read the rest of my post, since u were likely searching all posts' in here with "Stallman" in the words.
so I do agree with you on that point. Stallman, enotionally is a fanatical retard. But the underlying philosopdy of GPL is another different fact.
Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died.
As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor Daley, "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." Nobody deserves to have to die - not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing.
I mean, what the hell is wrong with this world? A power obsessive, self indulgent, tyrannical 'businessman' as some of you would have it here gets recognised for making the world is a much worse place, and a person who works all his life, very diligently and with an unfaltering and truthful attitude, being vocal and true about his beliefs everywhere, in order to make a better world for everyone, gets the gall and hate of everyone? What is wrong with people? Is money a religion so strong that it would completely twist your sense of what's wrong and right? It doesn't matter whether your grandmas can compiler her software or even cares the least bit about anything related to computers. It is a total logical flaw to think that the level, amount or specific possibility of application or real physical application of some right should be decisive in whether the right itself should exist or not. So should anyone out there who doesn't exercise their right to free speech (if it exists where they live) be devoid of the right to use it? Because I'd be really happy to see all the apple fanboys shut the **** up.
