No wonder he died of Cancer so quick....IMO when u dont pass down ur riches to the ones that helped u get there or don't help the needy then u don't get special treatment.

I'm not very religious but u reep what u sow..

I agree with you somewhat about passing down riches. But on the other hand his technology has been a revelation in helping people with autism. So in a way he is still helping the needy.

Didn't see it, but he said it all the time that Bill Gates donates enough for both of them-basically sums up his views on that kind of stuff. He still was a genius with technology and ran Apple better than 99.9% corporations out there. Very intelligent too and his speeches like the one at stanfords graduation are pretty motivational. What did the special say about him?

Very private person. If he did give it's not likely he'd publicize it.

It's not for us to tell anyone how to spend their money. It's easy for us to judge when we don't have the money to spend. Usually, after the person is dead, we find out what they're really like and how they spent their money and who they gave it to. Gates isn't leaving any money to his children...at least that's what we are led to believe. But do you really believe that a father with such wealth would do that to his children?

again a mis-quote....I mean that he should have given props to those that helped him get there.

Guess u think that since Jobs created Apple he can reap the rewards without any SHARING to those that helped him from the beginning?? WOW....I don't feel that way....sorry:toast:

I never knew that cancer decided to take its time if you were a really good person and kill you so quick if you were an asshole. I must have slept through that scientific discovery

Jobs helped out the people that helped him start the company.
Yea there were one or 2 others that said they deserved his blessings. There are always people like that.

But anyone involved with the founding of APPLE is very rich.
As a MOF Jobs owned less Apple stock as a percentage then Gates because he spread the IPO out to a lot more people then Bill Gates did.
Before Jobs died Apple was briefly the largest corporation in the world but Jobs was not even listed as one of the top 100 richest people in the world.
Part of the reason is when it IPO'd he gave everyone involved with the company there fair share.

the show painted him as pretty much of an asshole ...

I saw some quotes from his book...From what I have read ..maybe he has an axe to grind{the author}..but IMO Jobs was a person that didn't know how to recognize those that helped him


again this is JMO!!!!
