Bill Burr thinks the late Apple founder was a credit-stealing non-inventor.

I think that he is probably overrated only because "innovation" as a buzzword is just omnipresent right now. Let's be real, the dude didn't invent the transistor or the motherfukking laser like Bell Labs did. He realized that people would pay for a premium product that had nice industrial design. Someone was going to make a nice looking digital walkman, but he did it well.

That doesn't make sense.

Jobs deserved most of the credit he received

No. Have you read the Steve Jobs bio? I have. If your read it, you'll see that Jobs mainly took other people's ideas and concepts and marshalled them into cohesive products that met his standards and vision. Literally NOTHING at Apple could move forward until he explicitly reviewed it, analyzed it and approved it. Its the reason for the current uniformity across all Apple products.

Notice how no one knew who the fukk Johnny Ive was outside of Apple until Steve died. No one was allowed to express themselves individually without steve's authorization. This is the reason why i think ultimately Apple will fail without Steve at the helm because he was far to integral to the operation of that company.

his opinions are pretty dope and accurate. if you listen to his 2007-8 stand ups dude was ranting about america and how obama was gonna get elected. dude predicted it to a T "the need a black guy to blame when the bankrupt the economy" :manny:

dude is actually pretty intelligent

I bet you wouldn't say that if you hear him talk about the new world order.

his opinions are find and his jokes are funny. But I don't have to agree with everything he says to laugh at the jokes.

but again listen to the podcasts, its him more open and rambling. Not much like his stand ups at all really.

you hear a different side of him

his standups are :eek:

YOU need to look up the word hypocritical

nothing you said would define him as a hypocrite. you need to re-write what you wrote so it's some what coherent.

"I mean he says something about someone and its not cool, but someone else does the same thing and its cool? "


what the fukk are you talking about? name names, give examples. sounds like you're saying his fans are hypocrites, and not himself.

actually it made all the sense in the world. like the guy said on the couch. jobs just sat there and said "HEY i want my entire playlist in that phone. GET ON IT" and the engineers got on it. engineers are like computers. they can do anything you ask. but you have to ask them what to do. for them to come up with things. a lot of times they dont have the VISION to create these great products. it takes a lay person with great vision and a great engineer to make it happen.

now truth is you can have a great engineer without a great visionary and still pull off some really good products. but it wont be on par with the paring of great visionary meets great engineer.

there are great singers out there that dont write their own hits. but there are also hit makers that dont sing their own hits. usually those people can sing well. but not well as the singers that made the hit with their lyrics.
