99% movement boos CEOs, but mourns Steve Jobs. “Jobs was such a beloved person in comparison with someone like Bill Gates because his passion for people, and having fun, and making lives better always came through in his products and message.” Bill Gates’ lifetime philanthropic giving? $28B or 48% of his total worth. Steve Jobs? Not even in the top 50.

Oh yeahI was tryingto find out a little more about this "99%" bullsh1t. Thought I saw something here earlier, citing their refrain Its not about ideas, it's about making ideas happen," but that seems to belong to a legitimate business site that seems to do Tony Robbins type motivational crap, also using the 99% theme, but taking it from Edison's perspiration. I mean -- o hell, you know what I mean.
I tried to find out what they're talking about too. The nearest I can tell is it closer to a 99% bowel movement.
I've got no strong feelings about Apple & Jobs as such, but OMFG the Apple phanboys are more annoying than Jehovahs Witnesses. One guy I work with has been talking constantly -and I mean chattering away ALL DAY LONG- about the new iPhone that just got announced, for what seems like weeks. And today, talking about Jobs, he's on about how someone is going to come in and Jobs had handpicked him as his successor and he's going to keep the fire and vision alive and make sure that Apple keeps going the way Steve would have wanted it to etc etc, honest to God it sounded like a ffnng CULT!
/And don;t get me started on the other shmoe who listens to Phish ALL DAY LONG -- taking breaks only to tell us how great Phish is, and what Phish apps to get for your iPhone (yes him too), and the latest Phish news.
See ya Sunday Psycho, I'm goin Phishin right after the Phillies game.
These children are so blind it astounds me. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs give billions of dollars to charities all over the world. Both have long time employees who are millionairs in their own right. Both have given back more than any of the liberal heros like George Soros, or any Hollyweird actor, to those who helped make them rich and those in need.
R.I.P. Steve. You were a true visionary and good human being.
I'll take it a step further. If were an employer, & I found out you were part of this "Occupy Wall St" BS, that would be all I need to know. You would'nt get hired, period.
99 Percent of what? 99 Percent of morons? Typical Liberal math, 8 Percent of the registered morons claim to be 99 percent of America, No wonder our economy sucks, these people and their leader can't add but can subtract money from your paycheck.
America would be so much positive if we had a thousand more people like Steve Jobs. He brought much happiness and cheer to everyone he touched. We'll miss you Steve and may the angels up above enlist you there.
Do you know how much more Jobs could have done if gov't had helped him out?
Seriously, I am not an Apple guy, but Steve Jobs was 1 of the biggest brains America has ever produced, & he will be missed. His vision was several steps ahead of the crowd, & it will be interesting to see how Apple moves forward. God bless him, & may he rest in peace.
