What the world mourns now is Jobs, Steve Jobs,
He’s the kind of man that I wish, my father was.
What the world needs now is jobs, sweet jobs,
They’re the only things that there are too little of.
What the world mourns now is Jobs, Steve Jobs,
He’s the kind of man that I wish God made more of.
What the world needs now is jobs, sweet jobs,
No not just for some, but for everyone.
Lord, we don’t need another downturn,
There’s recession and heartache enough to climb,
There are oceans and red tape enough to cross
Enough to last, till the end of time.
What the world needs now is jobs, sweet jobs,
No not just for some, but for everyone.
What the world lost now is Jobs, Steve Jobs
He’s the kind of man that I wish, God made more of.
And this man, named Jobs, whose life brought jobs
Wasn’t lost to some. He’s a loss for every, every
everyone.

Steve Jobs................mourning........
Jobs.........wanting........
SIGH
Love your lyrics. Glad you're back.
But I guess yo must mean this guy:
"The greatest achievement of Steve Jobs was to simply realize how shallow, meaningless, utterly worthless and void peoples lives had become and convince them they could overcome their profound depression by belonging to an exclusive, elite, master race of consumer whores so long as they gave up all associations with any other product and obeyed every utterance as divine mantra."
or this guy:
"Tax evading CEO employing slave labor in China, patent trolling, walled garden making, technology blocking, money whore, creativity appropriating, self aggrandizing, technological advancement stifling prick."
Just presenting an alternative viewpoint.
Well done. Very well done. As always.
It is such a pleasure to read your work again.
We could use some more of Love, sweet Love, also...
I 've missed you around here, hope your new gig is just great.
He was cheating his own friend Steve Wozniak from the beginning (Wikipedia):
"Jobs noticed his friend Steve Wozniak—employee of Hewlett-Packard—was capable of producing designs with a small number of chips, and invited him to work on the hardware design with the prospect of splitting the $750 wage. Wozniak had no sketches and instead interpreted the game from its description. To save parts, he had "tricky little designs" difficult to understand for most engineers. Near the end of development, Wozniak considered moving the high score to the screen's top, but Jobs claimed Bushnell wanted it at the bottom; Wozniak was unaware of any truth to his claims. The original deadline was met after Wozniak did not sleep for four days straight. In the end 50 chips were removed from Jobs' original design. This equated to a US$5,000 bonus, which Jobs kept secret from Wozniak, instead only paying him $375."
The man himself?
Interesting; troubling (seems to me so far, any way). I've read a bit about him from time to time; will be interested to see what ?"you"? -- more 'techies' than I -- have to say in further exchanges. As to the man himself ... may he R.I.P, o.k? I mean -- sheesh, the man just died, right? Do we all have to "jump on him" now in order to get OS coverage?
Sign me "temporarily bad mood but I'll get over it as quick as I can ;-)"

And it's very nice to see you back in these parts. Few people have the knack for scandalous repartee that you do. ;)
Hey, good to see you 'round!
