steve jobs

An evil bastard and CEO of Apple Computers.

Bill Gates is in the process of giving 85% of his fortunate to charity. Linus Torvalds single-handedly invented Linux, and made it free and open-source. Jobs has done neither of these things.

When Jobs' own company, NeXt, failed miserably, he returned to Apple as CEO. At the time, several other companies were manufacturing MacOS-compatible computers; Jobs revoked their licenses. He also put the kibosh on a project to develop a PC-compatible version of MacOS, the result of both of these actions being that if you want to use MacOS, you have to buy a Mac.

If it wasn't for Steve Jobs, more people would use MacOS because they wouldn't have to spend lots of money on a computer they can't modify and isn't compatible with lots of peripherals.

If I had a Death Note, I would write 'Steve Jobs - death by diarrhoea' in it.

masters of the Universe

A vaguely passable show, let down by the terrible animation common to many carttons of that era. The remake is absolutely shit. I mean, they have lasers, so why do they fight with SWORDS?!?!

Hmm, Masters of the Universe is on...might as well watch it, there's nothing else.

notpron

A REALLY fucking hard riddle game on the web, created by David Munnchen. As you solve the puzzles, you will learn quite a bit about computers.

As of this writing, I am stuck one Notpron level 21, out of around 186 in total.
