That Steve pic :-(

 

[Guardian Bob]

Who is that beside Steve?

 

[The Technomancer]

Those young Steve pictures are actually making me feel worse.

edit: yay, new page. Having GAF set to 50 posts per page finally pays off, I guess.

This is a new page for 100 ppp also

Oh man at that picture. Dude looks terrible.

Between his resignation, his biography coming out in November(?) and him basically pitching his mausoleum to the Cupertino City Council or whatever that was, I think his death is definitely imminent.

iPhone keynote from Macworld 2007. Steve looked so happy.

The original iMac was a sweet computer. I was a total PC loving Mac hater at the time but even then I could appreciate the design.

Sucks that he may not see his super-awesome HQ come to fruition.

 

[Buckethead]

That's a very sad picture. =(

Oh man, I know. I would love to have a modern machine in an iMac shell.

I know. that puck mouse still gives me the heebie jeebies.

I think the pitcure is fake, look at the blurring where the skin meets the shirt beneath his chin, in the close up picture. It looks to me like a really good shop.

But who knows.

Jobs wouldn't knowingly let a picture be taken of him.

iPhone keynote from Macworld 2007. Steve looked so happy.

this transition in aging is...less than 10 years.

I think the iMac pic is from...'98. and the iPhone pic would have been '07. It looks like he aged 20 years in that time.

Fuck, if Apple decided to bring out a anniversary edition of the iMac, internals exactly as they were back then at the same price it was then, I'd buy one without even thinking about it. I always wanted one.

Same goes for the iBook and iPod. I'd love first editions of those as well.

Both with Pixar and Apple Steve changed entire industries. I can't think of many others who've done that, he and Gates are among the most influential people in recent history.

We often see smart guys pop up at TED and other CEO's who do well but I've yet to see someone do what Steve did, he changed the computer industry, animation industry, music industry, phone industry and as a 'side effect' he changed the gaming industry as well. It's a shame that he can't just retire and live a long and happy life in peace after having worked so hard to accomplish his goals all these years.

 

[Shadow of the BEAST]

Yea he looks better in the last shot

I love OS X but OS 9 holds a special place in my heart. One of the most light-weight OS I've ever used.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

That doesn't look uncommon for very advanced cancer patients. Someone could waste away in very quick order, so I'm inclined to believe that's an accurate pic.

Cancer.

 

[Guardian Bob]

You can beat it Steve!

 

[giga]

Don't see the big deal. He looks the same as he was at WWDC except without a haircut.

I don't know if I'd go that far. I've always kind of wanted an original Macintosh, though. Just as a show piece.

It looks more like he just continued to lose hair and got grey. Some people can age quickly in 9 years. His transformation from 2007-2011 however is drastic due to his weight loss.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

He look so bad in that picture.

 

[dream]

Have you found anywhere to dump your Stevenote collection, giga?

it’s seeing him in that damn gown with the boney knees poking out and his blank stare off in the middle distance.

that and the lighting and messed up hair just adds up and makes him look like he’s lost his faculties.

it’s the sense of helplessness the picture implies.

it may very well be an exaggeration of his condition due to various circumstances when the pic was taken but it’s more depressing than just seeing his skinny butt on stage in public.

How did TMZ get a shot like that i wonder?

 

[wolfmat]

Edges from black to nonblack tend to result in blurry lines along them with the (naive) JPEG compression scheme.

 

[rezuth]

Money and knowing the right people. They got a freaking shot at MJ in the family funeral or something, right?

 

[giga]

Right now I might just build a webpage myself to do the hosting, but if that doesn't pan out probably just youtube since other video sharing sites have such limited space/bandwidth.

 

[Guardian Bob]

Yeah, but it's almost like they are posing for the photo. I find that kinda strange.

 

[Psychotext]

Ugh at that pic. Fucking cancer.

The original iMac was a sweet computer. I was a total PC loving Mac hater at the time but even then I could appreciate the design.

They were amazing at the time but I don't think it's aged well. Still adore the design of the iMac G4, though.

 

[Technosteve]

fuck, =( day ruined. Again.

Yeah, they need to get crazy with the iMac again. I loved the 3rd-Gen(?) "lamp", too.

 

[btrboyev]

Wow, I figure he will be gone by the holidays. Sad.

It was less than that. He was diagnosed in 2003. Pre-2003 and post-2003 Jobs look entirely different.

 

[Technosteve]

I owned an eMac, that thing was a beast. The unibody plastic imac, the one after the one that looks like a lamp is my favorite imac.

 

[giga]

Remember back in February when the National Enquirer's "doctor" said Jobs only had 6 weeks to live?

Didn't wanna post that, but sad if those are real (is tmz so prob is)

I gasped looking at this photo as we were about to post it. I was so sad to see him in such a frail state

Spoiler

also thanks for linking to the story

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Why is he wearing a mumu?

 

[ctrayne]

I have an original Bondi Blue iMac, very first run. I tried and tried to get rid of it so I wouldn't have to move with it. Nobody will even take it for free. You must be the only person in the world who feels this way.

It's cool and quite pretty, but from a hardware perspective it is useless.

[Tobor]

Seriously, stop quoting the pic. Thanks.

 

[Meier]

How did TMZ get a shot like that i wonder?

You can see who they bought it from at the bottom of the shot.

The photog probably camped out outside of Steve's doctor's office.

The NeXT Cube was so awesome back in the day.

 

[Synth_floyd]

Hopefully it was just a bad angle, lighting, etc.

 

[hyp]

Personally I wish people just wouldn't post paparazzi photos, especially of people dealing with serious illness. It takes a special breed of scumbag to violate someone's privacy at a time like that by taking their picture, and I don't want to reward them with my eyeballs.

agreed. fucking tasteless.

 

[DR3AM]

that pic

hope he gets better
