I wasn't the one the brought it up. Also it wasn't a political statement. Charity and Politics have nothing to do with each other.
Making a comical statement using the ?capitalism? isn?t talking about politics. Pejorative or otherwise, you clearly stated strong political beliefs in an attempt to rile people up.

Look back and see who posted to me about capitalism. I was simply reponding. So blame them for trying to rile people up. Then followed by mouse with his pathetic attempt at sarcasm.
You know pretty much the same guys that share a brain cell.
It doesn't make any sense because if it wasn't for our Capitalist country and our charity most of you would be living in 3rd world nations. In fact some of you are and just don't know it.
Was that statement necessary? Or is it another attempt to further derail the discussion?!
I still don't know how this discussion went from Bill Gates praising Steve Jobs to capitalism and US charity to the 3rd world! I am surprised that the moderators are not stepping in.
Obviously, Bill and Steve got over what happened in the paste and are focused on the future. Maybe some people can learn from that.

Drifting seems to be popular here. I was replying to a comment made to me. If someone posts to me about something they are going to get a reply back.

Your reply has nothing to do with the other post. I couldn't find anything in his post about the US or charity and your statement was totally unnecessary.
Yeah, filet mignon for everyone! For free. Otherwise, off with their heads!
And, by the way, long live capitalism! "

Hense my reply about capitalism and the US.
I believe anonymouse reply was to your statement not the other way around and your reply was directed to souliisoul, who is living in India, and not to anantksundaram.

My reply had nothing to do with souliisoul. Yet again he posted to me an I replied. Others cant bring up this stuff and then cry foul when they don't like my response. You don't get a free shot with me. If someone wants to act like a jerk I will be more then happy to treat them like one. If someone wants to show common respect they they will get it back.
Actually this converation had nothing to do with the 'bottom line" or sales.
It did.
"Well, he's done a fantastic job," Gates said. "Apple is in a bit of a different business where they make hardware and software together. But when Steve was coming back to Apple, which was actually through an acquisition of NeXT that he ran, Apple was in very tough shape. In fact, most likely it wasn't going to survive."
Well I asked what are they not how much because I am curious. Too bad you read my post wrong once again. Sheesh.
Your question: And what are Steve Jobs donations again?
Your explanation: Well I asked what are they not how much.
TechDud, nobody can possibly be as asinine and stupid as you pretend to be .... OMG ... I get it .... you're not pretending. Sad, very sad! How long before you "go over the edge". ... not long, I'll wager.
Nope. Cannot happen. Though the iMac could use esata ports, express support and perhaps a card slot of some sort, ever since the iMac got this powerful, Appe wrongly fears they would lose Pro sales to desingers, graphics, publications, photography when in fact they would sell more, not less, making up for the difference.
Don't think it will Jalen until jobs steps down. Then we will see matte and mid rNge tower with a sting emphasis in the pro native market again.
A bit sad but true. Than Appls will start releasing machines people want and will no longer dictate what they think we should have. Want to run a pro app, currently you have to spend nearly 2 grand. Someday it will
Does Steve's recent absence for 6 months count as "without Steve"?
.
."
Do you remember all the rumors coming up for the key note, then they dropped the no more WWDC and then Steve's leave of absence? It was quiet. The keynote too. So what happened to all thoses new things????? Oh they came out. It was just delayed. It was sort of like smoke and mirrors saying,"see steve's not here but we can still release cool stuff" which would have been announced but wasn't. Smart tatical move for consumers only. Wall street saw right through it and the drop to $60 a share showed it.

I think you meant "in your opinion" since, if it hasn't happened yet, it can hardly be called a "fact".
It's not wise to confuse opinion with fact.

While you see it as Apple telling us what we should have, I, and thousands of others, judging by their successes, look at it as Apple being able to correctly read the marketplace. Also, "sad but true"? Again with the hyperbole .... just because you have that opinion doesn't make it true.
While that was positively true at one time, Im not sure that it is as true now. There are a lot of good people at Apple and you can see the necessary passion from a lot of of them in spite of the different roles within the company. You can see the passion J. Ive has in his videos, hear the excitement in Phil's voice during presentations, even Tim Cook sounds prideful when discussing the numbers. While the loss of SJ would no doubt be painful, I don't see it as spelling the demise of Apple. In any case, here's hoping that day is a long way off.
agreed but we willmse faster more price competitive machines once Jobs steps down like a mid range mac pro.
In the meantime can we please do away with evey keynote starting with :30 minutes of self back patting in how apple is growing/selling. Leave that for the CC calls.

According to my google finance research Apple hasn't been $60 a share since mid 2006. Do you ever read what you write? .... You know, in case you "make a mistake" or something, or is accuracy not important to you?
I think the only thing being "seen through" here .... is you.

You obviously know nothing about marketing and motivation (add them to your list). A good presenter always, always, always starts with the most positive and exciting news they can find, a radical concept to you, Im sure.

Hey we go again Politics, please leave it out of the discussion as reminded by moderators.
I wasn't the one the brought it up. Also it wasn't a political statement. Charity and Politics have nothing to do with each other.
Ah, the ugly American.
