RIP to a real computing innovator

[Steven]

A real innovator in computing and not some wannabe who merely evolves products. Anyone ever use Kernighan and Ritchie C?

If there hadn't have been UNIX, there would never have been MacOS or IOS

Anyone ever use Kernighan and Ritchie C?

Yeah, pointers used to make my head hurt

Your obsessive hatred of Apple is getting tedious.

Your obsessive hatred of Apple is getting tedious.

I have no "obsessive hatred of Apple", but I do have a strong dislike of the fawning over and gross exaggeration of the capabilities of Apple, their products and current and former personnel. I find that tedious. :icon_roll

Would that be more or less tedious than being constantly reminded of a former mistake? :icon_bigg

I rarely come across the fawning and gross exaggeration but I frequently come across people giving voice to how much they hate Apple, the products and people who own them.

Personally I think Nokia products are shit but I don't let it rule part of my online life.

the larger part of my online life seems to be ever increasingly shameful pornography. I watched the Jordan sex video recently Ffs.

People hating Apple is as stupid as people who buy it to the exclusion of anything else, if it does what you want at a price you can justify then go for it. I do think plenty of Apple stuff is unjustifiable on cost grounds but it all works. I met Steve once and found him unbearable patronising but he believed in his product.

There is plenty of absolutely useless tech available out there, stuff that just doesn't work.

You mean it's not just an act for his on-line persona?

[RHYDAL]

I don't know why, but I always imagine Steven to be something like Blakey from On the Buses. 'I hate you Apple'.

 

[Evan]

I'm an apple fan- though not compulsive like some people but I do recognize the contribution Steve Jobs made and that he was one of the most innovative people of his generation

Woo hoo it does, I can get rid of this one too now :icon_bigg

Ahh. Still doesn't work for me because of the way I view new threads.

No. Nothing to do with that.
