Google "steve job is... " (just these 3 words) and see what comes up on top of the list. Amazing, uh. Who knew! ;)

Retire? Relax?

That's funny.

Although...

Without him there would be no Pixar movies to "babysit" little kids, and to demo new blu-ray players and flatscreen TVs.

Without Jobs there would be no Pixar. He invested in them at a crucial time when no one else would. We take computer animation for granted now, but he was quite instrumental in making it happen.

The babysitting reference ... well have you ever seen parents put on kid's movies and just let the movie "babysit" for a couple of hours to keep them quiet? Pixar movies are popular for that.

Also good for demonstrating home theater equipment because they have bright colors, sharp picture, etc.

Ooops... didn't see that comment.

You do know that Bill Gates helped Jobs develop the software part in the early days, right?

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you can't entirely paint one company as the bad guy and another company as the good guy, doesn't work that way, although SJobs sure is doing a really good job as coming across as a douche, lately . 02

I'm guessing he means that the vast majority of pixar stuff is made on macs, but I have it on good authority that they use other kinds of computers as well.

Still, not arguing that macs are better or more popular for multimedia, at least I get that impression. .02
