Another dead Arab Nazi :dance:
(Reuters) - Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who changed the daily habits of millions by reinventing computing, music and mobile phones, died Wednesday at the age of 56.
Apple loses a visionary leader who inspired personal computing and iconic products such as the iPod, iPhone and iPad, which made Jobs one of the most significant industry leaders of his generation.
His death after a long battle with pancreatic cancer sparked an outpouring of tributes as world leaders, business rivals and fans alike lamented his premature passing and celebrated his monumental achievements.
"The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented," U.S. President Barack Obama said in a statement.
Fans paid homage to Jobs outside Apple stores around the world, from Los Angeles to Sydney. Outside one store in New York City, mourners laid candles, bouquets of flowers, an apple and an iPod Touch in a makeshift memorial.
In San Francisco, they held up black-and-white portraits of Jobs on their iPads. Some mourners in Tokyo held a sunset vigil, using apps on their iPads to show flickering candles on the screen.
Many websites, including Apple's own, were transformed into online memorials, a testament to the digital creativity that Jobs inspired.
"For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor," said Microsoft's Bill Gates, who once triumphed over Jobs but has seen his legendary status overtaken by the Apple co-founder in recent years.
Jobs was surrounded by his wife and immediate family when he died in Palo Alto, California, Apple said late Wednesday. Other details were not immediately available.
Jobs stepped down as CEO in August and handed the reins to long-time operations chief Tim Cook. With a passion for minimalist design and a genius for marketing, Jobs laid the groundwork for the company to continue to flourish after his death, most analysts and investors say.
But Apple still faces challenges in the absence of the man who was its chief product designer, marketing guru and salesman nonpareil. Phones running Google's Android software are gaining share in the smartphone market, and there are questions over what the next big thing is in Apple's product line.
LEGENDARY ENTREPRENEUR
A college drop-out and the son of adoptive parents, Jobs changed the technology world in the late 1970s, when the Apple II became the first personal computer to gain a wide following. He did it again in 1984 with the Macintosh, which built on the breakthrough technologies developed at Xerox Parc and elsewhere to create the personal computing experience as we know it today.
The rebel streak that was central to his persona got him tossed out of the company in 1985, but he returned in 1997 and after a few years began the rollout of a troika of products -- the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad -- that again upended the established order in major industries.
A diagnosis of a rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2004 initially cast only a mild shadow over Jobs and Apple, with the CEO asserting that the disease was treatable. But his health deteriorated rapidly over the past several years, and after two temporary leaves of absence he stepped down as chief executive and became Apple's chairman in August.
Jobs' death came just one day after Cook presented a new iPhone at the kind of gala event that became Jobs' trademark. Perhaps coincidentally, the new device got lukewarm reviews, with many saying it wasn't a big enough improvement over the existing version of one of the most successful consumer products in history.
Apple Wednesday paid homage to its visionary leader by changing its website to a big black-and-white photograph of him with the caption "Steve Jobs: 1955-2011."
Google provided a link to the Apple site just below its search box.
The flags outside Apple's headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop flew at half mast. Employees left flowers on a bench and a mourner played music on bagpipes in an impromptu tribute.
Cook said in a statement that Apple planned to hold a celebration of Jobs' life for employees "soon."
"Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve," Apple said in a statement.
"His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
The announcement of Jobs' death came after almost all trading in U.S. stocks had finished for the day. Apple's stock was last quoted at $377.22, a tad lower than its Nasdaq close of $378.25. Apple shares listed in Frankfurt fell 2 percent.
Outside Jobs' house in Palo Alto, neighbors and friends left flowers and drew messages with markers on the sidewalk. "Thanks for changing the world," read one.
A low fence surrounded a lawn filled with apple trees.
"He was special for the area, like part of the family," said Robert Blum, who brought flowers with his eight-year-old son, Daniel.
NET WORTH $7 BILLION
Jobs, in his trademark uniform of black mock-turtleneck and blue jeans, was deemed the heart and soul of a company that rivals Exxon Mobil as the most valuable in America.
Forbes estimates Jobs' net worth at $7 billion. It was not immediately known how his estate would be handled.
His health had been a controversial topic for years and a deep concern to Apple fans and investors. Even board members have in past years confided to friends their concern that Jobs, in his quest for privacy, was not being forthcoming enough with directors about the true condition of his health.
Jobs, a Buddhist, was born in San Francisco. He started Apple Computer with friend Steve Wozniak in his parents' garage in 1976.
Six years ago, Jobs had talked about how a sense of his mortality was a major driver behind that vision.
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life," Jobs said during a Stanford commencement ceremony in 2005.
"Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

Thanks for posting it Ron!
I thought I was the only one who saw Jobs in that light... last time I posted something in regards to his ill health I wasn't well received when I made the claim the Steve Jobs was Anti Israel
-
Not AIDS??
He looks like an AIDS queer.
-
Come on what did he ever do to you to make you happy he's dead ?
-
I didn't know he had cancer. 56 is really young to die too. I didn't know he was evil either.
-
Wait a second, he's an arab nazi? Can you verify this?
-

He is adopted and was raised by American Christians. His biological father is Syrian Arab.

His dad is an Arab from Syria. Apple, as an international corporation, supports the Arabs. Once again, Jews are the only people in the entire galaxy who have problems with rejoicing when evil subhumans hit the bucket

Well before I can rejoice, I need to know if I'm rejoicing for the right reasons. Most big corporations are anti- Israel because all they care about is money and they think that being on the side of Israel will make them lose money.
However, Apple touch pad technology has done good things...things that can be used potentially by our friends to win wars or influence righteous messages.
-
RIP Steve Jobs.
I dont see the point in "Rejoicing" his death from cancer. Reminds me of the Arab swine in Judea and Samaria rejoicing at 9/11.
Also he is no homosexual. He has 4 children.

Not sure what this proves. Under his leadership Apple was militantly pro-sodomite.
-

He announced a couple of years ago he had pancreatic cancer then he had a liver transplant. Apple was pretty secretive about his health which I disagreed with.
-
He is adopted and was raised by American Christians. His biological father is Syrian Arab.
And he had nothing to do with his Arab biological father and as far as I know never said or did anything against Israel. He was a liberal, no doubt, but most of my family is also so I think it is ridiculous to wish death on people for that reason alone.
I own Apple stock and made a ton of money on it. I also use the I phone, I pod, I tunes etc. The guy made my life more prosperous and more comfortable. I totally disagree with those who would wish death or illness on him.
-
Does he have any Jewish stock in him?
I'm surprised that some 'rab can be such a visionary (and queer).
-
Saudi Prince Awaleed Bin Talal, the one who justified 9/11 and said to Mayor Giuliani that America should rethink her Israel policy, owns approximately a 5% share of Apple, which is a publicly traded company. Then again, this same guy owns a chunk of Fox News as well. With publicly traded companies, I don't know how much control Jobs would have had over people who buy stock in the company. So I'm not going to rejoice over his death.
-
Also Ron, the expression when someone dies is "kicks the bucket."
-

That's because there is an excellent chance that like Arafat, he actually had AIDS.

Maybe he meant to imply that Jobs was gay like a limp wrist slap of the bucket rather than a forceful manly kick. :::D

I do not take any pleasure in losing one of the greatest innovators we have ever seen in our lifetime. When I was only 14 years old I bought my first Apple computer and it launched me on a career which has supported me and my family very well. I thank Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak who were my heros in the late 80s-90s. Without Apple Computer the face of computer technology would be vastly different.
I don't think he had AIDS and I don't think he was anti-Israel. Some posters sound like idiots making claims without any back-up for such claims. I suspect that many of these negative posts are posted by people who have contributed very little to bettering the world. I work with people from all around the world, brilliant minds who have invented and patented ideas which change the way we work and live. Jealousy is a very dangerous trait and one which leads to insanity.
I also don't agree with the assumption that multinational companies are inherently anti-Israel. The company I work for recently purchased two Israeli companies and keeps offices in Tel Aviv. Intel, which is one of the major movers and shakers in the computer industry invests a lot into its Israeli divisions... I can name several other well known High Tech companies which have divisions in Israel. It is not a given that a multinational company would not support Israel.
-
And you are basing this on?
The extreme secrecy and subterfuge of himself and Apple in dealing with his illness. Also, why does one need a liver transplant for pancreatic cancer?

If he was anti-Israel / globalist, then good riddance!

The extreme secrecy and subterfuge of himself and Apple in dealing with his illness. Also, why does one need a liver transplant for pancreatic cancer?
Liver failure is a common complication for the type of cancer he had, I don't know if it's the result of the chemotherapy or from the cancer itself.

My father had Pancreatic cancer, he died last year... He too had liver failure, not from any chemo though... My father had to have dialysis in his final years...
-
Pancreatic cancer has one of the worst long term prognosis. Secondly the liver is right adjacent to to it so the pancreatic cancer can spread was easily to it.
revealing his prognosis would have hurt morale in his company. He didn't die of AIDS. To say t without evidence makes you look stupid and ineffective. Keep dumb comments like that to yourself.

It's comments like this that are ignorant. Fact: AIDS/HIV predisposes you to many kinds of weird cancers caused by obscure viruses that anyone with a normal immune system could fight off, such as Kaposi's sarcoma, which can attack the pancreas. Fact: Apple was unusually secretive about Jobs' condition up until the very end, hurting stock prices in the process. Fact: Under Jobs, Apple became one of the most vociferously and militantly pro-homosexual corporations of all time.
No, I don't know if Jobs had AIDS but the rumors have been circulating all over the world for the better part of a decade. Surely you'd agree that there's some smoke. While nobody knows if this is for real, if it is fake it is one of the best-done fakes ever made.

I have disagreed with the secrecy surrounding his illness but this is ridiculous. If you think homosexuality is a serious personal defect I would think you would hesitate to accuse people of it with no proof beyond what seems to be wishful thinking. I honestly suggest you look into your own heart and mind and ask yourself why you are obsessed with this subject.

Lisa publicly traded means that any member of the public can buy the stock. And while I despise Prince Awaleed he has been an excellent stock picker and I can see why someone whose life does not revolve around "is it good for the Jews" would be happy to see him buy their stock. I don't know if Steve Jobs ever commented on Prince Awaleed or if he ever met him and talked to him which would not be uncommon for a major stockholder.

I don't know if he is homosexual. But under his leadership, his company sure is pro-sodomy.

Here's some background on Jobs. Doesn't sound like he was a homosexual at all. He even became a Buddhist.
So no sense calling him an Arab Nazi.

Dr. Dan has extensive training in the medical field. I certainly don't believe his comment was "ignorant".

If Steve Jobs was homosexual he would have most likely come out of the closet like the new Apple CEO Tim Cook, because nowadays in the Western World homosexuality is not looked down upon.

Well if I had to croak and leave all that money behind I guess I would want to kick something before I went also :::D That clip was one of the best parts of that old movie ;D I honestly don't care what Jobs died from he and his company built things that millions of people pay big money to have... Although I never really cared for Apple products myself millions of people cant be wrong... Like him or not the man made a great deal of money his presence alone was worth millions... Not many people over the years can have that claim to fame.
-
If his father was from Syria it does not mean that he was an Arab. When I was going to one Orthodox Church here in Florida majority of attenders were from Syria. However, they origin is not Arab although they speak that language. Arab conquered that area and forced their language upon peoples who have been living there for thousands of years.
I feel sorry for Jobs because his last name literally tells us what he was doing for many Americans.

I did not call him an Arab Nazi nor did I say he is homosexual. But there is some evidence he had AIDS, and his company was pro-homosexual.

That's true 911 Avenger... Apple is a Multi National Corp., so by definition its Pro Homosexual,Pro Arab and Anti Israel!
However, Steve Jobs on a personal note might not be all those things suggested, the operative word here is Might

That is not true, according to my experience. I have worked for several multinational companies and non were pro-homosexual, pro-arab, or anti-Israel....
There are no openly homosexual people at my company... I had Yes on 8 {Anti gay marriage} posters on the wall in my cube when we voted on it a couple years ago... I am openly pro-Israel and I have never heard any complaint from any of my co-workers...
So I dont agree with your premise.

He wasnt pro-Israel! He pops his clogs he died early at 56 from his FAGGOTRY! :o

Wow, Ironically, as soon as I woke up from surgery, the first thing the nurse said was, How are you feeling? Oh, by the way, Steve Jobs just died.
By the way, This is totally trivializing the term Nazi.
Yes, he may be left of center, Yes, he may be much less moral than many of us, but he is NOT a nazi.
Also, I have no reason to celebrate his death.

I'm not the one who said that Jobs is anti-Israel. What I said is that Apple is pro-homosexual, and that there is a lot of speculation and some evidence (it could be faked and it could be real) that he had AIDS.

There is absolutely no evidence that he had AIDS

Did you look at my links?
-
Listen, the only thing that I can say that is most likely to be true until proven wrong is that being such a wealthy successful person, Jobs didn't choose righteous causes, like supporting Israel and other moral Gd worthy things to change the way people thought.
Much like you take a person who is born into wealth and never lifts a finger when he has the ability to change history for the good.
Yes, Jobs was successful in doing wonderful things with technology...but that's it. His social impact was mostly likely more negative than positive. Most successful people will fall under this category today.

He never attempted or allowed to meet with his biological father, although he met his biological mother sometimes. The only problem I find that during his youth due to money problems, he was getting weekly free meals at the local HK temple.

Mr. Assange is in enough legal trouble already and doesn't want more in the form of a megabillions lawsuit from Apple. Of course they are going to put up a disclaimer if it's of uncertain veracity. That's why I say he may have had HIV and that the evidence is in dispute.

I noticed most big companies and even smaller companies are pro-homosexual. It's considered to be a civil rights issue now.

Here's what Debbie Schlussel posted about Jobs:
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/43023/steve-jobs-rip-enough-of-the-jobs-was-muslim-bs/#more-43023
Although I currently own only one Apple product (an iPod–a gift from a friend), I will always have an affinity for the genius that was Steve Jobs, who died today. My very first computer ever was an Apple Macintosh (or Macintosh Plus–I forget which). That was just as I was going off to college in the fall of 1986, and I was the only one I knew with my own computer. But he revolutionized that and revolutionized it even more, as you know. In many ways, he was not only the father, but the godfather of Silicon Valley. Even if you never owned an Apple product, if you played Atari (as I did as a kid) you were touched by Steven Jobs (he worked for Atari before there was Apple). Or if you enjoy the amazing Pixar animation at the movies–that was his, too. And he never graduated from college. He made several comebacks. But in another day, he might have been aborted, and it would all have been lost.
It’s sad that someone so bright, so innovative, so entrepreneurial is gone only in his mid-50s (he was only 56). But he was one of the lucky ones. My own father died of pancreatic cancer, and like most, he died only several months after his diagnosis (he self-diagnosed). Jobs beat back pancreatic cancer for a few years, which is rare (and he had the rare form that was supposed to be curable with surgery). His billions show that, rich or poor, you can’t beat G-d’s plan when it’s time. It bothered me when TMZ and many other news sites published photos of an emaciated, skin-and-bones Jobs after he resigned from Apple. I wished people would let this man live his last days in peace.
Although I’ve read attacks on Jobs regarding his refusal for several years to recognize his first child, a daughter, and other charges against him, we don’t know what really went on in his personal life, and it has little relevance to what he did to change the world in terms of technology. My friends who are Mac, iPad, and iPhone users swear by them and will never go back. They say they never get viruses that infect and incapacitate their computers, as I’ve had happen on my PC so many times over the years and especially recently. And his “cloud” concept along with the iPad will revolutionize technology for years to come. It changed the game and left companies like the struggling HP in the dust.
And, finally, there are the “Steve Jobs was a Muslim” claims.
I’ve been getting e-mails saying this from various Muslims–a religion that has very few of its adherents among the great geniuses, scientists, technology innovators, and inventors in the world. Ever since Jobs announced his resignation from Apple, they sent me the claims. Here’s a tip, Muslims: Steve Jobs was a Buddhist.
Yes, technically, according to Islamic law, Jobs would be considered a Muslim, just as Barack Obama would. His biological father was a Syrian graduate student (in the U.S. on a student visa) who impregnated an American Christian grad student. They eventually married, but after Jobs was given up for adoption. The Syrian, Abdulfattah John Jandali, is now, at age 80, Vice President of a Nevada casino, so he’s clearly not a religious Muslim. And Jandali never met Jobs nor did he even know Jobs was his son until a few years ago.
Jobs was raised by Paul and Clara Jobs. Steven Jobs was never raised with any connection to Islam, Syria, or Arabs. He never made any connection with or outreach to these groups later in life when he could have and was trying to reconnect with his past. Jobs never made an appearance at a mosque, never cited the Koran, never identified with Islam or Arabia in any way. Never uttered a single sentence or phrase in the lingua franca of their extremist politics.
It’s a safe bet that if Steven Jobs had been raised as an Arab Muslim, there would be no Apple. Not even Al-Apple. And a lot of great inventions that made our lives better and more enjoyable would never have happened. Jobs’ story is the success of American capitalism. And it’s about the kind of innovation and technological spirit that only happens in two countries in the world: the U.S. and Israel. This story would never have happened in Syria, pre- or post-Arab Spring.
And, then, there is the pancreatic cancer gene, BRCA and its variants. It’s disproportionately common in Jews. So, you have to wonder whether or not Jobs–even on his biological Arab father’s side–had some of the Jewish genes in his past. It’s well known that throughout Middle Eastern history, Jews were forcibly converted to Islam. And, often, we find that people who have high incidence of pancreatic and breast cancer have some Jewish blood in their background. Scientists found, for example, that a reason breast cancer is likely high in Hispanic women–as with Jewish women–is that there were many Hispanic Jews who converted to Catholicism, whether by force or as the only chance for survival, during the Inquisition.
I wouldn’t be surprised if way back when . . . the Al-Mohad Muslims–who forcibly converted hundreds of thousands of Jews to Islam–forced a conversion of some of Steve Jobs’ biological ancestors. We’ll never know.
But don’t believe the “Steve Jobs is a Muslim” hype. He didn’t believe that. And neither should you.
Steve Jobs, Rest In Peace.
Watch Steve Jobs’ FANTASTIC! 2005 speech at Stanford’s graduation. It begins at about 7:40 in.
**** UPDATE: Reader Gerald reminds us of an important point about Steve Jobs:
One thing I do appreciate about Steve Jobs … his refusal to allow pornography to be distributed through I-Pad app store (or whatever it is called). He caught a lot of flack over that from the perverse liberals, but he stood his ground and never relented. Now that he has passed away, I hope that whoever takes his place stands firm on that conviction of his.
Amen, Gerald. Principle like that is rare today. Few corporations are willing to stand up and do what is right on money-making stuff like this. Jobs and Apple could have made even more money off of apps had they agreed to porn apps. But he did the right thing!

I agree with the Schlussel article except to point out that Jobs and Apple DID NOT invent the cloud concept. It has been in development by several technology companies for several years.

The term "cloud" is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used in the past to represent the telephone network,[20] and later to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents.[21]
Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, service-oriented architecture, autonomic, and utility computing. Details are abstracted from end-users, who no longer have need for expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them.[22]
The underlying concept of cloud computing dates back to the 1960s, when John McCarthy opined that "computation may someday be organized as a public utility." Almost all the modern-day characteristics of cloud computing (elastic provision, provided as a utility, online, illusion of infinite supply), the comparison to the electricity industry and the use of public, private, government, and community forms, were thoroughly explored in Douglas Parkhill's 1966 book, The Challenge of the Computer Utility.
The actual term "cloud" borrows from telephony in that telecommunications companies, who until the 1990s offered primarily dedicated point-to-point data circuits, began offering Virtual Private Network (VPN) services with comparable quality of service but at a much lower cost. By switching traffic to balance utilization as they saw fit, they were able to utilize their overall network bandwidth more effectively. The cloud symbol was used to denote the demarcation point between that which was the responsibility of the provider and that which was the responsibility of the user. Cloud computing extends this boundary to cover servers as well as the network infrastructure.[23]

Nice post Lisa.
Thanks Dr. Dan. I like Debbie's blog. She also had a very nice post about Rabbi Kahane a while back.

Um. What?
Why the confusion? Am I the only one who has noticed an excessive use of the term Nazi to the point of the term itself being marginalized?

You're not the only one who feels this way here.

So, does that mean that you went back and reread my actual statement on the first page?

You never called him a Nazi, but stopped short of claiming he died of AIDS.
Anyway, Chaim gave his answer about Steve Jobs and his answer is spot on. Worded properly.

1: Any apology in order?
2: I haven't heard it yet but regardless of what it is, I had a right to my speculation.

Did you listen to how Chaim answered the question? Not once did he say the word AIDS, Nazi, or pancreatic cancer. You had a right to speculate anything you wanted. However, the speculation doesn't help your cause. Makes you less credible for future claims. I'm only trying to help.
But I'm sorry that about the part where I thought you called him a Nazi.

Thank you.
Nor did I call him a homosexual.

you almost went there.. But who knows. You are right a lot of times even if it sounds outrageous. Perhaps, something might come out about Steve Jobs that nobody ever knew, but people like you suspected.

If he had AIDS, he could have gotten it through many ways. He could have acquired it homosexually, or through drug use, or a bad blood transfusion from when they did not screen blood for it, or some other kind of medical contamination, or heterosexual immorality. I did not say he is a homosexual. If I implied that that might be possible, it is because his company was extraordinarily pro-sodomy "rights" under his watch. (If I am not mistaken, his appointed successor is a homosexual.)
I know nothing about him being a Nazi or a Muslim (and I claimed neither), but in general heads of MNCs are hardly pro-Israel.

My confusion was, what did your comment have to do with me, or with what I said?

Another reason Facebook is evil...
No, iPads do not last as long as Commandments Carved in Stone, by the Finger of G-d... Sure the liberals would love to be able to easily modify the commandments as they feel the desire to...
Also that whole image of "Heaven" is not a Jewish one... One thing... G-d is not an old man with a white beard...
-
It's supposed produce a short-lived LOL not deep thought and reflection. I think the modern image of "God" as an old man is based off of carvings of Zeus, not really God.

I know.... Im just a 'fuddy duddy'... Although I love Mel Brooks Moses bit in the History of the World I still get a little offended when I see it... You know the one where Moses brings down '15 commandments' and drops one tablet leaving only ten...

;D
I remember that movie too lol

That movie was quite funny and only Mel Brooks could pull off a skit like that and have it be as funny as it turned out... It's best not to take humor like that too seriously :::D :::D

Because what said was completely different than saying, "i bet that queer Nazi had AIDS like yasser Arafat.". Which comment will the public consider normal? Yours or mine?
