I did find that one odd. But, coming upto the Olympics I suppose there will be a window that she will be.

No doubt the same bints'll be discussing 'Strictly...' despite the floods in Thailand going on etc. How dare they? That young lass on it has got outstanding chebs mind. Agreed, MAHOOSIVE!

Thats gold man!

Like Ant here really, I dont understand the candle lighting etc Was just wanted to understand.

I donno, one place though? American sports sphere of influence are probably USA, Canada, Japan and Taiwan. British sports are basically every country on earth. Only true of football really. Which was invented by the Chinese anyway according to Sepp Blatter. Maybe, but golf, rugby and cricket absolutely dwarf any yank sport not to mention F1 and tennis. I wouldn't argue. I can think of someone who will mind The money in US sports is absolutely mental like, irrespective of all that. I just glanced over some of the Yanks as I dont really know any, but one guy had a $58m contract! WTF!

Basketball is massive though in places like Japan though isnt it?

SWOS, Cannon Fodder, Monkey Island then......Champ Manager took over my life!

Interesting read. Man, some of the US sportstars get some SERIOUS $$

How has it changed your life? Do you want to become a Space Cadet?

Ive spoken to a few people about this and one bloke said its because of the money it generates

Aye go on whats been said, Chin up Stevie Man

This is the bit I don't really understand. Yes, it's great to have ipods and iphones but to say that he has had a massive impact on your life? The guy was a great innovator but he didn't cure cancer. youre missing the wider influence those devices have had on just about every area of computing and the way music is distributed nowadays and the fact this whole "tablet revolution" wouldnt have happened without the ipad and that steve jobs owned Pixar from 86 to 06 meaning when they made a whole host of the best animated films ever he was in charge if you look at it at pure face value "oh yeh ipods/phones are nice" then yes it might seem odd, but taking a deeper look at the influence those, and many other of his ideas and works, had on modern culture reveals a lot more than just an MP3 player and a phone I had an MP3 player before Apple brought out the ipod, I had music and internet on my phone before Apple brought out the iphone. Yes, Apple may have refined and improved these devices but the greatest success Steve Jobs had was in making these products cool. He succeeded in creating these fan boys that we now see mourning his passing outside Apple stores. Ultimately he was a good innovator and a great business man but I'll hold off on the beatification for now. This tbh. Respect where it is due but you are going a tad OTT Andrew. Perhaps but tbh its acting a cunt to have a go at someone in a thread about someones death because "I don't think they were that great" and my point about Pixar has been conveniently ignored to stick with "MP3 players and phones" which if my post was actually read was exactly my point if you see apple/jobs in terms of MP3 and Phones then obviously his influence won't seem particularly important, I'm suggesting that there was perhaps more too him than the iPod and iPhone and the response I got was all about phones and MP3s Dude, I hope youre not trying to say watching Toy Story is a life changing experience?

I cant remember where I read it, it may of been on here. But people always have a moan about certain Apple products, yet they still go out for the latest version of the stuff they bring out. This is where Jobs has made his cash, on fanboys (Cheers ewerk) wanting the latest.

Apple brought the Xerox developed GUI, which we all take for granted today, to the market with the MAc back in 1984. It was the start of computers resembling desktops with trash cans and folders. Entrepreneur with an aggressive personality and hard to work for, is how I've heard him described before. I think his attitude towards Apple Records points to how he behaved in business.

Maybe I took your "saddend" out of context, apologies. But people leaving wreaths outside Apple shops etc is a bit mad IMO. Christ, Imagine what it would be like if the inventor of GHD's died!

Honestly? This, I just don't understand why people get saddened by a situation like this. I am sad for his family that at an age of 56 they lose a father etc. But as for someone who was relatively private and I didn't know, didn't read much about. The world's a better place due to people like him tbh. Admittedly I don't have any deep feelings of grief about it but he was certainly an innovator in a world of corporate clones. Oh I agree, he was an innovator which has helped more then the technogeeks, but feeling of grief about someone you dont know, especially a private one.

:lol:Bouquet

FFS 5Live have just interviewed some gimp in London. She has placed a boutique of flowers outside the Apple store in London as Steve Jobs "Has changed the way we live and we are in debt to him" jog on. Some people need to get a grip.

Magma = Toontastic Legend! 1) Had an edgy ride into work due to the wind and wanker drivers 2) feeling rather unmotivated 3) Got a full list of shit to do 4) Just had a nice cup of tea 5) Cannot understand all the trauma of Steve Jobs death

Hope the bairn is ok man and glad you got it sorted.

Gfriends brother and old fella are Forest fans, neither of them want Keane as manager so this should be fun

Wouldnt touch the job with a barge poll tbh.

Was bored with that years ago. What series is it upto now? I would fully recommend watching The Walking Dead, finished Series 1 yesterday. Wicked.
