I too wish Steve a fast recovery. Your health and your family has to always come first, I don't care who you are. The only thing I hate about this is how it will be played out in the media.

True.

But media be damned. Apple has a roadmap for success, and with Schiller and Ive on the team, they're still full-steam ahead.

Jobs made a similar move in 2004.

I dont see anything appealing about Apple products - sure I have an iPod only because I needed an 80gb player and the Zune wasn't available at that time. Steve Jobs did do much as a tech visionary and he has an uncanny ability to raise interest among Apple products and it is for this specific reason perhaps that Apple wont be the same, without him.

If you are reading this, I think you can also see I do not like Apple products at all. This is because while I respect Jobs for what he has done for the industry, I do not respect him as a person. He forgot all those who helped him get to where he is, all those people who helped him make Apple. More he takes every opportunity to push Apple products even when the event or issue is bigger than him alone. He survivored cancer previously, he knows the pains and trials to survive it, he knows not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford the treatments to fight it, but I have not see him even donating a small portion of his wealth to help this cause.

They clearly did. 90% of the worlds computers run Windows, considering they both started with even stakes in the 70s i would say they lost out big time.

I would agree with this, too, but you know that people will find ways to justify everything.

Get well soon Steve Jobs. I wonder if the stock will recover the 10% loss by the time Steve Jobs is back?

2 quarters of recessionary trends will weigh in more by that time than whether or not Jobs has gained any weight. Besides since everyone except the die hards knew that Apple was flat out lying about serverity of Jobs' health....this news was already 'baked in' into the current stock price.

Hope they can keep their product line-up strong. There isn't anyone who thinks as differently as Jobs.

The loss of Jobs during these harsh times is understandable.

Whatever.

Here's some more. Have fun.

The image is completely fake, anyway.

Does this make sense to you:

Date of Birth: Born February 24, 1955. ??

Looks like someone forgot that "date of birth" already means "born."

Anyway, we're going to see a lot of bull**** like this for a while so let's get used to it.

And that image is from 4chan . . . all that needs to be said about that.

I've seen a lot of replys on the news stories on the front page and in forum pages in this section, and I can say I hope all the ones laughing and joking and bashing can respect themselves if they think it could be one of there own family members suffering, I hope they are only kids as a lot of people have a lot of god dam growing up to do.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today.

The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.

      To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
