Celebrity Death Pool!

Jani Lane, lead singer from Warrant.

[anarky]

I must confess, that's one I did not see coming.

Mainly because Jani Lane never entered my mind even when Warrant was on the radio.

Steve Jobs.

I just bought an iPhone last week.

[vynsane]

i can't believe none of us had him!

also, i can post this here, since, well, it's expected... i'm sure someone's already said it but..

i think steve jobs' reaction to criticism of the iPhone 4S announcement is a bit over the top.

Call me sick, but I almost want to find some badly-faked Jobs porn of him fucking a goat so I can post it on Facebook for all these folks mourning him to have to look at. I don't hate him, but it's kinda like Billy Mays dying: he was a huckster. Only he got people to buy iPhones instead of Oxy Clean. He sold shit; he sold the hell out of it, but he still sold shit. People are acting like he personally invented the i-Everything and hand-built each one from his own blood; he just convinced everyone they needed one. And, admit it, a lot of the "new features" are things like touch-screens that you probably pooh-poohed until he told you that you needed them.

I think the "legendary" folk singer dying this morning is a much bigger deal, and I'd never even heard of the guy until today. And Pixar is a far more important part of Jobs' legacy than Apple. A hundred years from now, we'll be using technology we can't even think of today and Apple will have died long ago. But they'll be using that technology to watch Wall-E over and over.

[anarky]

I realize that, in posting something from my wife's Mac that isn't the written equivalent of sucking Jobs' dick, I've put myself on Apple's top secret hit list. This will probably be my last post, as I expect to be shot and killed sometime tonight.

[vynsane]

i would not liken steve jobs to billy mays. oxyclean barely works. apple products work better than any competitor - they just do. it's not solely because of jobs, but it's due to his vision and ideas that we have the apple machinery that we have today. multi-touch/gestures/swipe works better than a stupid little trackball any day. OSX is superior to windows in design and function. like i said, you can't pin all the success of the company on him, but the vast majority of it, yeah - and in the interim he made our lives easier through his vision of quality user experience, something microsoft never really grasped.

[anarky]

I have to clean school uniforms almost every day because they're way overpriced.

OxyClean works as well as any Apple product.

And better than my iPod.

[Diabolical]

Someone really should have used this as their headline:

Apple reports massive Jobs loss.

What, too soon?

[anarky]

Stolen, bitch.
