The King of Cupertino is dead
Long live the King
RUMOURS OF THE DEATH of Apple CEO Steve Jobs have been greatly exaggerated, according to Gawker.com.
It's common practice in publishing to pre-prepare obituaries for prominent public figures, even if they're not even feeling a little bit piquey, but an un-named hack at Bloomberg hit the wrong button when updating the Thin White Duke's fond and final farewell.
The upshot of which is that the gushing 17-page testimony to the spiritual leader of the Church of Apple leaked out into the great wide yonder.
But there's no need to rush out and flog your shares just yet as all indications are that, despite a recent scare with pancreatic cancer, and speculation over his rapid weight loss, Mr Jobs is in rude health and merrily sailing along at the helm of the good ship Apple.
It must be a bit strange reading about your own death, though. It's all a bit Macabre (geddit?) µ

The Undead
When there is a beginning, there is always an ending and when it comes, and it will come for ALL, it’s usually a time for reflection – should you be so fortunate as to find the time for all these seemingly mundane tasks whilst not forgetting that there is no rest for the wicked. Contrary to popular belief and hope [to the wicked, the hope that death is all there is, is a life-long wish], if you want to evolve, you need to “return” amongst the living and start all over again. Now, ain’t that a relief for the hallelujah/”buddhist” crowd that some unseen omnipotency exists but to their horror, it is ruling against them. “The poour sweet deluded thangs.“As such, our final judgement is not merely reflections during those seemingly last moments but our final judgement is reserved for ourself should we be courageous enough to pick-up the pieces and return to face the music – “Oh Lord, please don’t let it be pop”. It is cruelty’s duty to make others cruel or doormat-ish. “Meaning oh pontifcus” ... meaning that judgement is reseved solely for our Self and not others. By the same coin/token, sympathy is also solely for our self, our aggressive self, not for others.
Guilt is not forgiving oneself which is why people keep being addicted to their weaknesses whereas anger is not forgiving others, both being illusory but effective. As such, Reality is when you can see the meaning to all the cruelty, suffering, addiction and much more. Looney sympathisers do not mind being cruel to themselves to the point of worshipping electronic gadgets [or yachts, whores, drugs, “Tibetans”, tree-stumps, etc] and their “creators” but damn if they were to allow you to be cruel to an ant named Lucy, say, or even “shackled Tibetans”. Yes dahlings, cruelty is more than physical, it’s also emotional in addition to being intellectual [and so is “terrorism” for the idiotic-cum-lunatic-but-powerful saviour democratising nitwits. Ask a tree-stump whether to suffer a thousand cuts with possible relief and stay alive or to perish now with a big-bang statement and there isn’t one screw or nut alive who is capable of thoughts who do not know the true answer – unless you are a hypocritical sympathising nut, including those psych-this-&-that quacks or politicians/hypoctrites – and we are not talking about the “news groomed ostriched saviours”].
It is no use saying, “God bless/help this person” or that thing. Trying saying, “God help me to become a real human who doesn’t judge others”. Now, that would be a real beginning and from that point onwards, the world/universe will become a true miracle for enjoyment and not the constant peeping into others’ “dustbins” for rattling one’s instabilities. Absoluteness/Truth/Love/Joy/Realty is not a human property. It’s beyond the human minds and how would anyone know? Try asking a donkey why it can’t add 1+1 and it just might shock you with its answer. Yes, it had to be experienced, not believed/fantasised nor hypothesised/imagined. Even should Mars be “colonised” and only carbon uncovered, the value of objectivity, in the minds’ eye, is still linked to our imagination. Valuation from subjectivity’s, objectivity’s and projectivity’s points-of-view are still limited to “in-house”. It has no real value from Infinty’s point-of-view.
In short, learn from others’ mistakes and not judge them for Reality is within every being and is not exclusive to the worshipped/fashionable. That assumption is just your idiocy-cum-lunacy speaking, Mr Bonded, shaken-‘N-stirred, whilst not forgetting that freedom applies ONLY to those who are shackled, instantly identifying those who are limited. Don’t let any [departing or not] person bound you to his circumstance for you do-not-know/had-not-benefitted/had-not-been-damaged-by what he had really-experienced/been-through. We should be thankful that others are willing to err such that we may learn but should we react, the lesson is for nothing/only-our-minds/our stupidity-cum-dumbness. When we react, we only have the capacity to accept devolutionary habits but should we witness, we can learn how to evolve. Without exception.
Not Funny
Pancreatic cancer has a very poor survival outcome, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_cancerI have never used a Mac and never will but I have the deepest sympathy for Steve Jobs and his family.
"Pre-prepare"?
WTF is that supposed to mean? Something you do before preparing?I think you meant "prepare".
Sorry, what was that about sloppy journalism?
[SM writes: http://www.diclib.com/cgi-bin/d1.cgi?l=en&base=coed&page=showid&id=51435 perfectly acceptable English. Have you not got anything better to do?]
Cannabalism Would Cure that.
Allowing some Nut to cut your Guts up, especially whipple, don't leave much hope. So step two. Eat Doctor whom done it. Steve Can Afford entire Surgery Team for Dinner, in fact it'd be years to run out of fresh frozen people.Chemicals are Only cure, if any. Pancreatic juice is digestive juice, over years pancrea flora learn to endure such toxic bath, yet eventually multiorganed being starts to digest oneself as juice gets Hotter.
Problem is in flora strength itself & adding chemicals to diet that will ethier digest/kill/stop bad flora growth or strengthen pancreas is needed. What good is car with NO Plates when you cann't even get your own medicienes yourself?.No Wonder People Are So Muted About Their Own health Problems.

Oh boy
You're going to cop a lot of flak for this article. Have you ever been hit over the head with one of those razor-thin aluminium mac-keyboards? Neither have I but I bet it'd bloody hurt. As much as some like to poke fun at the sleight white knight, you have to grudgingly respect the guy. He, like Gates, is a cunning and clever guy who has managed to convince the unwashed masses to fork over the green for software, hardware and services that have generally made their sad little lives somewhat happier (OK, Gates missed the mark a little on that score). I hope he survives; he's entertaining to watch. Just when I think the depths of human stupidity have bottomed-out, he cleverly comes up with another marketing miracle and shows me there aren't any limits.
