Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs 1452
Garabito writes "Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, has posted his not-so-fond memories of Steve Jobs on his personal site, saying, 'As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor Daley, "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." Nobody deserves to have to die — not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing.' His statement has spurred reaction from the community; some even asking to the Free Software movement to find a new voice."

Saint Jobs was good. Saint Jobs was great. Why are you not showing proper gratitude towards being blessed with His presence? Why do you hate your fellow man? Steve was your friend. Steve was everybody's friend. All He wanted to do was make everyone happy under His benevolent image.
You must be flawed, fellow iCitizen. The Black Turtleneck Ops have been contacted. Do not be afraid; your harmful thoughts will be corrected and you will be happy on the Way of Steve. Saint Jobs was good. Saint Jobs was great.

I agree with them. Furthermore, I propose that anyone making fun of Steve Jobs in a cartoon should be stoned with bricked iPhones. Don't let the Infidels smear the name of The Prophet. Inch' Apple.

That's because they only had to wait three days for iTombs to update.

What you call a walled-garden is just a trading platform. Apple as a provider of that trading platform, controls what can be traded, but not what you in fact trade.
This is no difference to drug laws or other laws that prevent "free trade" of certain goods.

Ok. So now fanboys are Steve's illegitmate children.
That's a great rhetorical corner you've painted yourself into there.
