Steve Jobs 2.0: kinder, gentler, funnier
gigaom.com — Steve Jobs whose unrelenting quest for perfection has driven many to Ole Tennessee or an asylum (whichever is closer) is showing signs of a kinder, gentler self, happy to share (within limits) the glory, and espousing the virtues of team work.

That is the most clever insult I've heard in a long time, kudos! - fkr3, on 10/11/2007, -13/+26The guy's filthy rich, the company's doing great, and they've got a userbase that will forgive any flaws. What's he got to be unkind, rough or unfunny about?
- Spuy767, on 10/11/2007, -22/+11I forgive far fewer flaws using OS X than I am forced to tolerate when I run Windows.
- Spuy767, on 10/11/2007, -24/+4I'm sorry, I forgot I was on Digg where it's not cool to use anything that isn't Windows or Ubuntu. Allow me to rephrase. . . Wind0w$ is teh Aw3s0m3! It makes Mac OS look like such a piece of $hi7.
- kelly, on 10/11/2007, -14/+27fkr3,
its not that so many Mac users are so inclined to forgive their flaws... its that the things some people regard as flaws really aren't.
Example "Flaw":
PC USER "Flaw": Apple doesn't allow average everyday hardware to run OS X
MAC USER Advantage: Apple doesn't allow average everyday hardware to run OS X - Boondoggle, on 10/11/2007, -12/+3Newsflash: Awkward geeks on Digg think Awkward geek Gates is cooler than Steve Jobs. Film at 11.
- Katana314, on 10/11/2007, -2/+39WOW! Steve Jobs didn't get out of his chair and flame his head off at someone during a conference! This is certainly newsworthy and proves Jobs to be the greatest person on Earth!
DAMN THAT GATES AND HIS CHARITY. - Samus, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3JOBTARD
- Jams, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1hmm, kinder chocolate
- TeatimeGrommit, on 10/11/2007, -5/+12@mcm297
- frieddonuts, on 10/11/2007, -10/+8Now about that turtleneck...
- Zippo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2If Steve Jobs came out in anything but a black turtleneck and blue jeans, I don't think anyone would recognize him. lol
It's his trademark. I bet he has an entire closet full of nothing but black shirts and jeans... like something you'd see in a cartoon.
- Zippo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2If Steve Jobs came out in anything but a black turtleneck and blue jeans, I don't think anyone would recognize him. lol
- moocow1452, on 10/11/2007, -14/+2Steve Jobs. Now 100% powered by Mac.
- Krechet, on 10/11/2007, -8/+5That's what happens to people who are too full of themselves. They start believing that they are the best thing around and get comfortable around that. Then and only then they can share.
- informality, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1...
- tektalk, on 10/11/2007, -13/+51When Steve starts giving millions to philanthropy, I'll know he's 2.0.
- catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -9/+54Give him time. He can only backdate so many stock-options in one quarter.
Yeah, I went there. - Spuy767, on 10/11/2007, -18/+9He has actually given undsclosed amounts to charity, some estimate it to be in excess of a billion dollars. A greater portion of his net worth that the 30 that Gates quite verbally donated.
- Boondoggle, on 10/11/2007, -21/+7When Bill stops using publicised charity, giving away the one thing he does NOT need, as a tax-free advertisement, I'll admire him for it.
- f8tbrautmehere, on 10/11/2007, -8/+15Because we all know it's how much money you give that makes you special...
- Ireland, on 10/11/2007, -15/+4People always say Gates gives away loads of money. Well? Well.. that's cause he's got it to give. Whatever way you look at it, his house is still worth $125 Million.
- topgun553, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18I don't care how it's given
When money is given to charity it is good. Stop riping on Gates about it, there are plenty other reasons to if you would like.
And to answer a question... maybe how much money you give away does show how good of person you are to some degree, at least for the super rich. - chrislee149, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7I'm waiting for the (PRODUCT)RED edition.
- catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -9/+54Give him time. He can only backdate so many stock-options in one quarter.
- Legolover64, on 10/11/2007, -11/+34I dunno, did anybody see the video with Bill?
Steve was sort of a dick...
(go ahead, I own a mac, but digg me down)- FluffyArmada, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3Dude... that video portrayed him as a total ass. :) Personally, I don't care a whole lot either way. He seems like he'd be a cool dude to talk to, but he's not someone to idolize or anything. I'd say the same about Gates.
- DuhStupid, on 10/11/2007, -8/+6My GayDar is off the charts right about now.
- ScrabbyDoo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6This explains the product delays! Give me back the tough no nonsense Steve!
You gotta be pushy to be a mover and shaker! - mariano, on 10/11/2007, -13/+8Jobs was, is and will always be a hypocrite, so one has to be careful with his "2.0" upgrade, maybe like Gates, this is a new front for him to "steal" others ideas.
The damage he did in the past is done no matter what, think he will have to deal with this burden till the day he dies.
Tyrants and geeks go by the hand, is part of the trade, period.
Have fun digging this down apple fans...., the truth hurts ;).- Boondoggle, on 10/11/2007, -7/+8I would digg it down, if I knew what you were talking about.
- f8tbrautmehere, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2WOZ? that you?
heh - jraine, on 10/11/2007, -5/+0I do appreciate your useless, unsupported lashing against Steve Jobs. Thank-you.
- bikee4, on 10/11/2007, -34/+4All I can say is, too bad the prick didn't have cancer do him in. I loath the ***** and all his minion's.
- Spuy767, on 10/11/2007, -7/+15What an excellently formed comment, very well informed and it covered all of the necessary points. Being a cancer survivor, I hope you ***** rot in hell you piece of *****.
- LoganT, on 10/11/2007, -14/+1^Number 1 badass.
Please don't digg me down. - f8tbrautmehere, on 10/11/2007, -9/+7You must be quite an amazing person. Does your mom know you think that about another human being? Wait, I'll ask her when I get my dick out of her mouth.
- intellimouse, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2@bikee4: Agreed.
@spuy767: Cry more.
- SyDIGG, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7People do tend to mellow with age and wisdom.
- Boondoggle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11which explains a lot of the comments on Digg...
- renegadeafk, on 10/11/2007, -7/+4IPHONE BITCH
- AncientWeird, on 10/11/2007, -4/+25*kindr

*funnir
Yours Truly,
Grammr Nazi 2.0- itchytooth, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I thought it was funny.
- mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3the end result of getting your throat sliced open is the same even if you're ,kinder, gentler self, happy to share
- gafasiesornivek, on 10/11/2007, -12/+5Suck a dick Apple fags. You don't need to post a rebuttal article to every negative thing that is said about Apple.
- intellimouse, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2"Suck a dick Apple fags. You don't need to post a rebuttal article to every negative thing that is said about Apple."
Yes, they do.
- intellimouse, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2"Suck a dick Apple fags. You don't need to post a rebuttal article to every negative thing that is said about Apple."
- agimat, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3richer
faker - Craig42, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3I think that his overcoming cancer made him relax and appreciate things more, but I also think that apple is beginning to shape up into the vision that he always thought it would be, making him even more satisfied and a nicer person overall.
- torgos, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1...and Leon's getting larrrrrrger!
- caponumen, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2I can say one thing for Steve he not a snob or a ***** heal.
He tends to dress down and the most expensive car I've seen him driving was a Porsche Boxster.
I think that's pretty mellow for a multi-billionaire......- intellimouse, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4He's still a passive aggressive prick though.
- octowussy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I don't know if I've seen this kind of man-on-man fawning before in my life.
- intellimouse, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6You haven't met very many Mac fans have you?
- naio, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Oh Apple fanboys... you make me want to puke.
Buried as queer!- rockets, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3All Apple fanboys will be buried queer
- Justin6512, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1did anyone see how he was port raid in "Pirates of the silicone valley?" If that was accurate then he's defiantly better now.
- masonreloaded, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I didnt see the "port raid" in that movie... if that was a pun though, it was ***** genius
- valoss, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I like Jobs 3.1.
- pailsOfGrease, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I told you about the SEC & S&P-man
You know that we're as close as we'll be-man
Well here's another clue for you all
The leopard will stall.- rockets, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The iPhone will stink.
- simplejoe79, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Nice to know.
