Today in Geek History: Steve Jobs Was Born, So Here Is Every “One More Thing…” Moment

By ( ) Comments

Today would have been Steve Jobs’ 58th birthday. There’s no doubt that he had a huge impact on the geek world, and he’s already missed. We can’t help but wonder what else Jobs and Apple could have brought into the world if he hadn’t lost his battle with cancer at a relatively young age. Jobs always managed to make Apple announcements exciting in a way they really haven’t been since his death, and he managed to do it with just three simple words, “One more thing.” Here’s every “One more thing” moment from 1999 to 2011.

    “There is one more thing… It comes in colors!” *audience goes wild*
    What vision! What innovation! No one has EVER thought about making something with different colors! The man was ahead of his time.

    Apple fans are sheeple.

    It actually wasn’t too common for that kind of tech at the time.

  • Enthusiast

    I’d say it wasn’t common because it wasn’t important. Why does it matter what color a device is that will stay in your pocket 99% of the time.

    And even when it wasn’t common, it certainly wasn’t unheard of. There were many MP3 players prior to the iPod even being developed that came in multiple colors and even some that had interchangeable shells so it could be a different color whenever you wanted it to be.

  • Idlethoughts

    So, people wanted colored ipods, he gave them colored ipods, they were happy. I don’t understand what your problem is with that.

  • Enthusiast

    The problem is that Apple is all about hyping things that aren’t really that cool and the zombies that buy it are so susceptible to suggestion that they think that it’s new, cool and revolutionary. I wouldn’t care, but I’m tired of hearing about Apple and Jobs on every tech source like they’re something more than a PC in an artsy box running a custom Linux distro.

    Jobs didn’t have a single original idea in his life. Heck, he stole the Mac from Xerox PARC. Still, he is revered as a god.

  • Idlethoughts

    Other people have different opinions and preferences than you, so what? Getting mad at things which don’t harm you or others is a bad tendency to pick up.

  • Enthusiast

    I’m not mad. I’m ridiculing.

  • Idlethoughts

    Same problem.

    Apple copied Xerox and Microsoft copied Apple. Xerox didn’t do anything with the ideas it had so I say well done Steve Jobs for doing something about it!

  • Enthusiast

    True, but Apple has ideas all the time they don’t do anything with and when someone picks them up and uses them, Apple sues the pants off of them.

    The cult of Jobs makes both the theft of the intellectual property from Xerox and the suing people for doing the same to Apple OK, even though they are the exact same thing.
