cmaD2006 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' timestamp='1317932215' post='2316715']I just read an article that's fairly tactless. Maybe I should post it in the comments and direct everyone to place their ire there instead.... (after all, this one as written post-death announcement, unlike Dust's image) http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/8-things-didn-t-know-life-steve-jobs-172130955.html[/quote] I guess I have different taste ... I saw something similar on a different news site that gave very similar information. I didn't think it was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus_lol Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 the really tasteless article was the one Gawker prewrote and accidentally released in 2007. now that he actually is dead, they released the exact same article and forgot to try hard enough to even change the timestamp.

[/quote] I dunno, I guess I thought it was kind of ironic given this topic to see an article listing jerkish things he'd done throughout his life (denying paternity and testifying in court that he was sterile? jerkish.) Not that no one should know that those things happened, but strange (strange isn't the right word but I can't really think of a better one right now) that they made a point of listing them the day after he died. I think that that's a lot more tactless than the image Dust put up before the man even died. That's more the point I was trying to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven77 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 It can serve as a reminder of thinking before posting pictures on fb that should never have been created, especially using Photoshop for Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus_lol Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Strictly speaking, it has been general knowledge that Steve Jobs has been in extremely poor health, stepped down from Apple to live the remainder of his life, with a prognosis(pancreatic cancer) that puts his death much sooner than later... all this in mind Phatmass should have removed this picture before it was too late.

[/quote] I must admit, this was pretty much my thought too. I am the least technologically minded English woman in the universe, yet I knew he was on borrowed time. I wouldn't have felt upset by the picture, simply because I wouldn't have known it was him, but had I been told the name, even some weeks ago, I would have thought it unwise. That said, its probably best to leave it now - todays news is tomorrows chip wrappings, and it will soon disappear of its own accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiara Francesco Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 As the picture is removed and I didn't see it before, can anyone describe what this picture was? Or what it implied? I couldn't figure this out from all these posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 it was a picture of Steve Jobs holding an iPad contrasted with a starving child from Africa holding out their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
