Jerkoff Jobs “Steves” educators

The Jerkoff used to have the reputation of firing people in the hallway just because he could – all you had to do was look at him wrong. It was called “being Steved.”

Not much has changed. Steve Jobs and Michael Dell were both headlining a technology forum, at which Jobs opened his big mouth and trampled on Apple's history and the life-blood that allowed it to be the only, early computer company to weather the 8, 16 and 32 bit computer processor transition war, into the robust company, now, that has taken the world with the iPod.

How did Apple lead the way to today's market? Niches. That is where Apple solidly is entrenched in the computer business. Their move into the Intel market puts them into the race with the Big Boys. This is being done on an old PowerBook 1400C and then will be transferred onto my Intel Mac Mini. I have not had one crash since I bought the Mini, and I have 4 hard drives on it. I have not installed Windows on the machine, but I could.

In the early days of "computerism," Apple owned the educational business. Apple IIe's were found in every class in every school in the United States. I own a virtual history of the Apple Computer, starting with an Apple IIe and a Macintosh KE to the MiniMac. Jobs has set the paradigm in modern computers, but I think the man is bitter about losing the educational market.

Steve needs to look into a mirror if he is blaming public education for losing his strangle hold on the education market. Jobs could have maintained the educational advantage if he had packaged with their newer computers, software made especially for classroom management and given teachers a 50% off deal.

Back in the day, the Jerkoff changed everything with Macintosh's GUI OS, which means that all a user has to do is click the mouse. With the iPod and the iPhone, Jobs is still setting the paradigm, but he doesn't know dip-stick about education. He sends his children to an expensive private school and is no authority on anything public education.

"'What kind of person could you get to run a small business if you told them that when they came in they couldn't get rid of people that they thought weren't any good?'" Jobs asked to loud applause during an education reform conference." Sure, sure; what teachers really need in this country is to be “Steved”
