Pancreatic cancer is a bitch. From wiki "the 1- and 5-year relative survival rates are 25% and 6%, respectively"...

I too am eager to see this phone. I really want to see if in the flesh though, but I don't know if it'll be out here.DeathJr said:
I'm trying to keep an handle on my purchases.Fusebox said:
I have to ask myself if I really want to spend 100-250 on certain boxsets of series that I've already watched and chances are won't watch again for the next few years. e.g. Charmed, Smallville, Stargate SG-1. Would love to have those as part of my collection, but turns out I can't really be bothered spending money for DVD quality stuff I've already seen. If they came out on blu-ray some point down the line though....I also don't buy individual season sets. I want the whole show with high quality packaging or nothing. There's a few shows that I'm waiting for to finish up so I can buy them already.

RIP Steve Jobs. His death couldn't have come at a worse time. It will be interesting to watch apple's stock in the coming days.
Choc, Steve will be in the news for a couple of days, maybe front page for the next few.
All of his friends and those who knew him along with his family are going to be thrust into the spotlight. I feel real sorry for his family and what's about to happen in terms of media exposure, He always seemed to try and not bring that part of his life forward.

I keep on thinking of the iRip program which sponsored the HDH Invitional in 2010.Jintor said:

Yup.
I apologise for misquoting him, but the bit about how you can't connect the dots looking forward was truly wonderful.

Someone in the OT said they don't get mad when Mexicans do it, but he was mad at God for taking our Jobs.
That drew a wry smile from me.

dont be surprised if you wonder why you are at work today doing the 9-5 after reading it
Media exposure for dead people in general is discusting. Death is a private thing and frusting it into the public spotlight even if it was a public figure is discusting. It is okay to say your respects but hounding the family is discusting.
Also discusting is the fact that celebraty deaths are just used for PR reasons. You will see lots of tech companys giving their two cents just for their 15 minutes of fame because of their responce.

12.19pm: Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she was saddened to hear the news of Steve Jobs passing away.
"Here we are at a future jobs forum, the jobs of the future are going to be shaped by innovation, and we hear the news of the loss of an incredible innovator. It's not too much to say he literally changed our world, all of us would be touched every day, in our daily lives, by products that he was the creative genius behind. So my condolences go to his family and friends."

she is, thats what the Carbon Pricing is about to an extent.....
if Tony would let her.
Julia is seen as incompetant because she is probably the only Prime Minister in history to go up against such a tool who just says no to absolutely everything.
She isn't good but she isn't as bad as she looks, Tony makes it so.
I know, right? Can you give us any insight into what you used to do, what you're doing now and how you ended up doing it? If you don't want to share that's perfectly fine, I'm just genuinely curious.Dead Man said:
I like that. It's weird to say it, but I think all this has cemented my decision to get one near-enough to launch. Life's too short to worry about whether it's the best decision gadget-wise over the coming months or not.jambo said:
Steve Jobs died what?!?! That's what I get for waking up late; just like that time I missed Sydney's skies turning red.
Well, I'm very interested to see what will happen to Apple in the next 10 years now that their genius is gone. Goddamn, this is a big news since he was such a great innovator. My iphone is pretty much with me 24/7.

Yeah, that'll teach the worthless peons for being indifferent to the passing of someone they've never met.

I recognise Jobs' importance in his field and contributions to society, and I sympathise with his family and friends for their loss, but I'm still personally indifferent (or "meh", as the quote would have it) to his death.

The respectful way...
No great story, I started working in teh call centre for a bank when I was at uni, when I finished my completely unrelated degree (Behavioural Science) it was easier for me to stay with the bank. Ended up in collections and mortgages, basically taking peoples houses away. Did that for a few years, then moved to a salary packaging company, basically made a lot of money for the owner of the business through sales and leads, got paid bugger all, and decided I was sick either making decent money but kicking people out of their home, or making shit money in a job I didn't enjoy anyway, and quit. I'm now studying youth work, and working part time in aged care. I am absolutely broke now, but much happier.Shaneus said:
Not dramatic or anything, but it is always nice to read that other people see the value in things other than the purely financial
