Steve Jobs the Edison of our time. Only a Moron could compare the 2.

but then again *Bloomberg"

He was a pretty good sales assistant, but i doubt that he invented anything in his life.
Also the working slaves at the foxconn factory will have a smile on their face.

Edison was not a good scientist, all he did was copy Tesla.

So good comparison.

Actually Jobs was like a dictator in his company.

True, its just that Edison "invented" electric light and other useful stuff.
Apple just sells electric garbage no one really needs.

Tweeting that you are at Mcdonalds eating a burger while surfing on the interwebs on your new iPhone 42 isn't really a progress humanity should be proud of.

Who Invented the Lightbulb?

It was Thomas Edison in 1879, wasn't it? That's what many people think and were taught in school. Like most stories, however, there is a lot more behind the creation of this important and ubiquitous object than just Mr. Edison..

The story of the lightbulb really starts almost seventy years earlier. In 1806 Humphrey Davy, an Englishman, demonstrated a powerful electric lamp to the Royal Society. Davy's lamp produced its illumination by creating a blinding electric spark between two charcoal rods. This device, known as an "arc lamp," was impractical for most uses. The light, similar to that of a welding torch, was simply too bright to be used in residences and most businesses. The device also needed a tremendous source of power and the batteries which powered Davy's demonstration model were quickly drained.

I highlighted "invented" because i meant he stole it from someone, just like Steve Jobs stole the MP3 player from another company i can't reacall, i think it was "Creative", and made it more accesable to everyone.

Yes it was Creative, and the iPod and going "consumer" products is what SAVED AAPL.

What nearly killed APPL was going PC Clone under that Pepsi guy.

All AAPL do is put a nice picture on it, and yes it's nice then charge you an arm and a leg for it.

PS: I would go short on AAPL over the rest of this week, probably go short pre market lol.

However I still have no respect for Apple. American technology thats developed in Korea, made in Thailand, and support is in India. Yet people wonder why the economy has gone to hell.


How is it American when if its developed in Korea? Other then that, I do'nt really care about Steve Jobs as a personality, I won't miss him. As a human being though its never good if a man of women dies sooner rather than later, he had a good fight though and went out swining, I don't thing you can ask for more.


Thats the point. Apple is a American based company(HQ is in Cali) that toted around as one. Yet all their development, production, and tech support is out sourced in other countries. Ofc this is nothing new anymore and almost all companies do it, yet people are still confused on why the US economy is ****.

Regardless whether you like this or that and argue it endlessly... as witnessed here in this forum, the truth of the matter is that this planet cannot afford to lose even one smart person that actually contributes something useful to mankind.
