Steve Jobs Said He'd 'Go Thermonuclear War' On Google Over iPhone 'Theft'

Wonder if the death of Jobs will calm the waters in the Google vs. Apple war?

If those excerpts are anything to go by, then there is a lot of abusing going on in that book..

Personally, I wouldn’t like to know any more about Jobs than I already do.

Lol. I doubt the death will calm the waters. Unfortunately, litigation is just part of doing business now.

The HuffPost.

It doesn't even pretend to be journalism anymore. Nice book promo, though.

Well I like Steve Jobs and Apple. But I think this is a losing battle, Google's to big and Apple just lost it's head. I think Apple will do good for a few more years with the Iphone 5 (Jobs) Ipad 2 (Jobs) Macbooks (Jobs) Ipods (Jobs), he was the innovator of the century. They have always had the newest technology first or made it better and a few years go by and everyone else catches up, but Jobs made Apple what it is today.

Wow, he was more of an ahole than i thought.

It's to laugh considering he made the following statement.

"We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas," Jobs said in an interview

Yeah, I second that.

I wouldn't be surprised if some part of income from the book sale goes to Apple. They will try to squeeze every ounce of the brand "Steve Jobs".

Respect for the Imaginary Property of others just ain't what it used to be.

Jobs was not an innovator. He was a technology thief.

JSWolf · 10-22-2011, 01:34 PM

I want to read about Jobs just so I can prove to others what I already knew. Jobs was not a God. he was not special. He was someone with no ideas of his own. he just took from others and called it his own.

Isaacson writes that Jobs had attempted to persuade Google not to develop a mobile operating system to rival Apple's own by promising the company it would have access to the iPhone and prime real estate on the device.

Wow. Wonder how the smartphone landscape would look if Google took them up on this offer (assuming it to be true).

I hope Apple and Google go all the way on that; M.A.D. and all.

Yeah, and he was just lucky to become a billionaire. (Oh, no, there's no luck involved - he "stole" the ideas.)

Come on, Jobs was no god (and not even a Thomas Edison), but to say that he added nothing to modern society is disingenuous at best. But no amount of evidence is going to convince you otherwise. Anti-Apple zealots are just as bad as Apple fanboys.
