The Steve Jobs I Knew (allthingsd.com)
7 points by Vexenon 10 minutes ago | discuss
As it turned out, I had an apple candle on hand--that is, a candle in a holder shaped like an apple. It was meant to be. So I went to 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. There were already some white roses. I set down my purple flowers, lit the apple candle and that became the memorial.
Several news reporters were there asking us how we felt, why Apple, and what we thought Steve Jobs had done and meant. Other people came by leaving some flowers, other candles. One woman stopped with her son and cried; another girl stood by looking devastated. Most apt, I think, was the guy with the skateboard who took his earbuds out of his phone and set them down with the candles and flowers.
I’ve lost loved ones and acquaintances, coworkers and pets. But I’ve never lost a hero.
Most heroes were gone before they reached that status.
We never met, but I know that Steve and I loved many of the same things. That was our common ground. But we were not equals. I loved and used the things we loved. He imagined them, engineered them, and built them for me.
I don’t know if he knew how I thought and organized, or if he taught me how to think and organize. I think it was the latter. It just clicked. It just worked for me.
My modest successes are linked to the tools that he provided. It's hard to imagine work- and life- without those tools.
It's hard to imagine the magnitude of this loss.
Thanks, Steve.
He imagined them, engineered them, and built them for me He imagined them, engineered them, and built them for me He imagined them, engineered them, and built them for me He imagined them, engineered them, and built them for me He imagined them, engineered them, and built them for me He imagined them, engineered them, and built them for me Faggot.
I visited the STEVE JOBS house vigil around 10pm. Some guy in a coat asked my friend if he wanted to say a few words. There were some flowers and a lot of asians.

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.

It's not evil to desire the end of evil actions. What Steve Jobs did was offer computer prisons to people. RMS didn't want Jobs dead, he wanted Jobs to stop being evil.

I dont want your death, I want you to stop being "evil". -- sounds like a psychotic maniac's line from a grindhouse movie.

Lookup taglines at IMDB. There are many in the style of "He doesn't want your death, he just wants your body"

How could that be comparable if RMS didn't want Jobs dead? He never made such implications at all. He wanted Jobs to stop distributing proprietary software and advocating the user treasonous computer while Jobs was still alive.

How could that be comparable if evil martian didn't want you dead? He never made such implications at all. He wanted your body and laid eggs inside your brain while you was still alive.
