Triumph of the Nerds [three of three] 4/6

[MrTEHCOMEDIAN]

The Macintosh was and is a toy.

It never works right, is overpriced and basically its sole use is for people that are unable to use a real computer.

As for Jobs - fuck him. He's an overrated asshole.

[TangoR34]

@MrTEHCOMEDIAN Says a guy who hasn't used a Mac properly at all. He probably doesn't even know who created Toy Story, Cars and all the Pixar animation movies today.

[MrTEHCOMEDIAN]

@TangoR34 How the fuck do you "use a Mac properly" - what, its a fucking car or something retard? Your statement just reinforces my theory that macs are for idiots that re unable to use a real computer.

Enjoy using your overpriced piece of shit and waiting in line for repairs.....

And yeah, Jobs STARTED Pixar but the major decisions were done by others (with Jobs once again stealing credit)

[TangoR34]

@MrTEHCOMEDIAN I have a Macintosh and Windows....

I tried to troll and make it sound as stupid as your 1st statement. I guess I've piss you off.

[MrTEHCOMEDIAN]

@TangoR34 whatever. Jobs was a fucktard - and Macs are overrated and overpriced.

[Canadianloyalist123]

@MrTEHCOMEDIAN I agree.

[ghadimi505]

@MrTEHCOMEDIAN And Jobs didn't even start pixar, he just invested a lot of money in it. The vision came from ed catmull and the hard work and creativity came from john lasseter and the rest of the design team. Jobs is a brilliant businessman but he never created a damn thing himself. He just rode on the backs of true artists and geniuses.

[freshsprout]

Actually, Leonardo da Vinci said that quote... Steve Jobs might've been a narcissist, but... he was still a genius.

Hope he has been making his amends before its too late.

Bill Gates and Windows is long history now. Hello iPad.

@freshsprout I have yet to understand why i should buy an iPad, it's too big for a phone and not as good as a laptop.

[MrTEHCOMEDIAN]

@freshsprout He was no genius - just an opportunist and a thief.

"The years after Steve Jobs left were the most profitable for Apple computer". Snippity snap!

[torontocitylife]

The quotes just keep coming! "Everyone had been terrorized by Steve Jobs at one point or another" - Larry Tesler, Lead Scientist at Apple

[torontocitylife]

Another T-Shirter: "Maybe the IBM PC isn't as easy to use, or it's not as attractive as the Macintosh, but it actually does something that we want to be able to do." - John Sculley, former CEO of Apple, hired by Steve Jobs

[torontocitylife]

"We've always been shameless about stealing great ideas" - Steve Jobs. I want that on a T-Shirt!

[thej762000]

@2:15 A Mac for $2500... so some things never change.

[TruthBeyond]

So that's what The Simpsons parody was of, in tthe episode where Homer gets a snow-mobile and advertises as Mr.Plow.

[YamadaKeisai]

When Apple gave the demo introducing the Macintosh, they created and installed extra RAM. People who bought the original Macintosh couldn't do the things that were shown in that demo - or at least not as quickly.

[MarcoZ1ITA1]

So it was basically a Mac 512k. Who cares? it was on the market anyways.

"What can I say? I hired the wrong guy."

This is one of the greatest quotes ever.

[TheIntruders]

@mikeslade

Uhhh. No it's not. You're an idiot.

[Mercury888]

can i just say this is the dvd cut back version - the original version aired in 1996 was muhc better and longer. I hate this dvd version where can i get the original!

[Imprezaman555]

plz tell me if u find out.

[Nomad0168]

@Mercury888 Yeah, I always wanted the extended version... I even email Bob Cringely but he told me he didn't have the rights to it (PBS does) so unless they release it we will have to hope someone uploads it one day.
