Good article on The Register.

I'd only just started to know the products.


RIP Dude...

Thanks for sharing the article.

I enjoyed the Youtube video of graphics output from a Pixar Image Computer that was linked from that article. For anyone who might be reading this and is less than thirty years old, it's hard to convey how impressive the PIC's output was. Back in 1987, most people who used computers were still spending their time in front of monitors displaying green text on black backgrounds.
Check out this video on YouTube:

He'd more achieved in his too short a life than all Nekochaners together up to now... Frankly, I was never a big fan of Apple at all - while it doesn't help him in any way anymore, I belatedly bow before him now [nowadays I even have an iPod, iPhone & iPad, and I contemplate to get me an iMac]. I only hope Apple will not break down completely in the near future, though...

His talks and speeches are legendary. Only recently did I have to start using a Mac for work, and I really appreciate all the attention to industrial design; something I think all of us here have a bit of passion for.

Umm, this won't be popular but imnsho, recently Mr Jobs has been doing a good job of representing the devil. Most everything he has been (very) successfully peddling is aimed at turning computing more into a consumption device and less into a tool. Computers aside, all the new products that have been making Apple money hand over fist are the iPod, iPad, iPhone, iTunes and the app store ... all of which are pretty much aimed at making the user into a mindless consuming zombie. The fact that they are very pretty ... well, nobody would fall for a rotten wormy old Apple, would they ?
I think hamei has a point, but I think that was a trend that was going to happen, with or without Jobs. For better or worse, innovation, at least the type that hobbyists can reasonably get their hands on, has been moving up the stack from hardware to ever more abstract layers of software. Implicit in a lot of what Apple has been doing is, I think, an assumption that we are heading towards Star Trek -style computing, where all the information we want to access and manipulate is in the cloud somewhere, and the specific device that we use as a portal to the data is almost arbitrary. Unless you're a chip designer or a cloud data center engineer, the action is in instant-on apps on instant-on devices, and certainly not in things like customizing start-up scripts to shave ten seconds off a boot process or modding a machine to get an extra 5% of performance out of it, like it was in the "good old days". (That's not to say that this model is perfect; it's flaws regarding points of failure, security, etc. can be pretty frightening.)

The Star Trek universe ran iOS v67 and higher.

It's the same thing with cars. I used to enjoy tearing apart my 1970 Chevy's engine in the driveway on the weekends to try to eke out a mild performance improvement or to stave off a visit to the auto repair shop. Pretty much the only maintenance I'm qualified to perform on my current vehicle is topping off the windshield washer fluid. Despite that loss, I'm almost certain to get three times the reliable miles out of the new car than the old Chevy, and the new car is powerful enough that I wouldn't even notice a 5% performance improvement in anything it does.

99.9999% of all technology users clearly are only capable of mindless consuming. this was the guaranteed output of the microsoft and linux generation. so, do I mind benefiting from a high quality product that targets this market, by delivering a product, that requires very little attention to operate in a superior way, rather than it's predecessors? of course not; all those so called 'features' of windows, android, and linux FOSS environments merely produce busy work for people enthralled by the 'means' rather than the 'ends'.
