As a US President? I would have thought they would have portraited him as god...

Video is not to bad for being 1984 for a team building production.

A man who was selfish, only cared about himself, made underpaid workers work longer and harder resulting in mass suicides, egotistic, made his products based on complete control, and had anger issues.

He clearly resembled Adolf Hitler more than Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Crazy people like himself tend to be successful for awhile. Im glad hes gone. Ask a Apple follower why they love Apple so much......You will want to pull your hair out. But their lose is our gain. They make great products cheaper.

Look I'm cool with Apple/Jobs hate and all, but he isn't responsible for the suicides at Foxconn. They make products for a LOT of companies, many of which you're using right now. You might want to put that personal responsibility on the Foxconn president or perhaps the Chinese/Taiwanese governments supporting those conditions.

He is a total egomaniac though. Look at the 1984 video. He wanted his workers to think they were a revolution. Too bad it took them 20 years.

Steve Jobs demanded more supply on the iPhone 4 before they were released. Foxconn told him they could not keep up with the shipment. Jobs didn't care and demanded them. The situation at Foxconn was bad already but Jobs made it much worse for them.

This guy was seriously deranged.

Jobs was already getting human livers for himself from China... Maybe he thought Taiwanese livers were of better quality and was trying to create more donors... Wasn't that in the standard Foxconn employee contract that if you killed yourself Jobs got your liver.

For some reason the General made me think of Roger Sterling.

armagedon.

Wow you're all of bunch bitter bitches crying over any bit of Apple news you can find. I'm happy for their success just because I know how much it makes you all rant and act like paragons of technology.

ROFL - who said anything about Foxconn - Jobs was legendary about doing that to his own personnel in Cupertino. . . Look back at testimonials about the development of the Mac. . .

"We don't talk about the 3" - THAT was funny! LOL

Brings back the memories of using an Apple IIc in middle school. Amazing how much computers have changed in 27 years.

 

[halcyon]

I remember looking at the IIci's in the computer lab in college...wanting one.

 

[confish21]

Idk that 84 superbowl ad was awesome!

 

[Zingam_Duo]

What a blasphemy! That guy is the God! (well, I hope God doesn't strike me down know for calling him a guy).

 

[archange]

OMG
I feel brainwashed...

You could have made yourself one. Back then my father made a perfect working replica for us out of single components. He even used an old calculator's chassis to make it look authentic. He wasn't any worse engineer than Wozniak, unfortunately he didn't live in California and here being a genius wasn't profitable.

The Apple flag in the video looks like the Japanese rising sun.

 

[gti88]

Only US president?
How about President of the World?

 

[del35]

Had he been a presidennt he would have probably been killed as a result of his selfishnness and propensity for screwing the people and robbing them. I guess technology would have marched forth unhindered by Jobs' nefarious cageyouin and screw you dealings.

 

[monsta]

Imagine Steve Jobs as president...you would be working for 2 dollars an hour, 14 hour shifts, 7 nights a week and be jumping off buildings
