Author Topic: Steve Jobs is dead.  (Read 26917 times)

Even though I know almost nothing about what he's done for me except the mouse (maybe), Pixar, and a few Apple products, it's a shame he died.
I don't think he invented the mouse... but I could be mistaken.

Ha, you're stupid. Youre one of the immense amount of queers who hate Steve because of Apple. You don't think about what he himself has done for the world. Shut up and sit down.

The trackball was invented by Tom Cranston, Fred Longstaff and Kenyon Taylor working on the Royal Canadian Navy's DATAR project in 1952

Independently, Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute invented the first mouse prototype in 1963, with the assistance of his colleague Bill English.

German company Telefunken was the first company in the world to develop a mechanical mouse; it was published it on 2 October 1968 and called "Rollkugel" (German for "rolling ball")

Did steve find the cure for AIDS, end third world hunger, offer jobs for the homeless, or save a burning down orphanage?
He was a good guy but not great, stop acting like he was god.

I'm not. I'm telling of the jack offs who hate Steve just because he is affiliated with Apple. He did change the world in technology.

I didn't say I hate Steve, I said I hated Apple. I just don't like their products. Read a little more before insulting me for my opinions.

He also founded Apple and was the primary front-facing person, their CEO and their chairman for ages. That makes up for anything positive he may or may not have done.

Did a check myself now. Apparently he invented a precursor to the graphics tablet. Some Brit invented the mouse.
