even if 95% of his donations went completely to waste, that's still 1.4 billion dollars worth of charity.

Take a look at http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Pages/home.aspx, Bill and Melinda Gates have done heaps for the global community.

Someone really didn't read up on their history very well. Not only was it far from Apple's first computer (they had half a dozen in the eight years prior), it wasn't a sole point of shining brilliance. Apple's first computers were preceded by a whole wave of larger computers, smaller hobbist computers and a raft of very similar micro/personal computers. It'd be like if Ford invented the personal car, if semitrailers were around 40 years earlier and Holden, Toyota, Mitsubishi, etc all released personal cars around (and before) the time of the first Ford =) |
... well then they got the Edison comparison right  |
The Ford comparison is very good as well, if you know anything about Henry Ford's career.

I'm confused? Are you trying to say dying of cancer is a first world problem?

Well you should have a quick browse through his wiki then.
Also, Stephen Wolfram remembers Steve.

Well I'm fairly sure cancer is also experienced in third world countries. I didn't take that course at uni though.
Or perhaps he is suggesting that Steve Jobs is the cause of first world problems?

I'm fairly certain people in non-first world countries die of cancer. Call it a hunch.

AP breaking news: It turns out Steve Jobs wasn't actually dead, the nurses were just holding him the wrong way.

Of course it is. Everyone knows that cancer is only a problem for the rich and AIDS is a problem for the third world.
But no, the point of the image was directed to the pages of discussion about the importance of a person and all that jazz.

His beard is a first world problem?
Did he play in a jazz band? I never knew! Was it any good? I hope they still play, even after losing one of their members.

Man you have me confused GooberMan. Are you trying to say Steve Jobs was Simba? Or that he also has an uncle named Scar and has gone to challenge him for his place as King? In Heaven? He's gone to challenge God for the throne of Heaven? Wow, that guy has ambitions.

He's been studying gods methods through a hacked iPhone that god uses. He's figured he had enough info to take him out for good now.
By the time we get to the pearly gates there will be a slide to unlock touchpad on em.

Damn. That's not good Benza. Lucky I'm probably going to Hell. Someone better let Lucifer know about this Steve Jobs fellow.

That screen grab is so confusing. I can only assume batwoman is actually the living dead and the guy with the spiderman masking and superman cape is drowning.
Good news for Hobart however, looks like a nice and pleasant 22.
