I'm sure you all know that Steve Jobs has announced his move from Apple CEO to its Chairman (semi-retirement.) With his health so poor, I felt the need to tell him, "Thank You," for having changed the world in such a positive way.

2. True
But he seems to have more lives than a cat, both in business and in health. Maybe he'll create some nanobots that will return him to health! If anyone could do it, Steve Jobs would be the man.

11. I know -
what is going on - people have no idea what an absolute arsehole steve jobs is.

Not satisfied with destroying thousands of jobs, an entire industry (flash), he then destroys the idea of patents, blocks all creativity, creates the biggest walled garden on earth, rips people of no end, dumbs down computing to put it back into the late 90's, regresses all advancement and claims everything ever invented by anyone else as his own - and people are falling all over themselves to praise the guy for what essentially is the biggest marketing hoax of all time -- and people wonder why Tea party people are so incredibly stupid - have a look at yourselves.


If any of this doesn't convince you - then tyhe suicide factories in China, and the Democratic Republic of Congo war where 5 million died supplying Coltan to Apple (as the poster child, there are others) should give you some pause.

10. Tim Cook, his replacement, may be the most powerful openly gay man in the world
and that alone will likely also change the world in a positive way.
