    Steve Jobs was trash. He was an odious, abusive, sociopathic narcissist with a propensity for claiming other peoples’ ideas (and in at least one famous case, money) as his own - IE the famous “reality distortion field” - who unfortunately was enabled and deified by people around him because that’s what we human beings do with people who act like they are important geniuses.

    See one particular orange president for another example of that, by the way...

      Steve Jobs started from nothing and revolutionized the computer industry, the publishing industry, the music industry, the phone industry, and the animation industry, and he created the most valuable tech company in the world and the best animation company in the world. Donald Trump was born into extreme wealth, was given $400+ million by his father — all of which he lost in various bankruptcies — and he drove all of his businesses into the ground (casinos, football team, airline, modeling agency, etc.) except for the real estate company that he’s kept afloat by laundering money for Russian oligarchs. To equate Steve Jobs with Donald Trump only reveals the deep ignorance behind your wannabe-edgelord rant.

    In answer to your question, yes, I did use Spotify when it was invite-only.

      Fun story, when Spotify first launched, I spoofed my computer’s IP address for the better part of a year so I could get access to the UK only version.

    Steve Jobs was a genius, a bully, and a fruitcake. Pretending to be Darth Vader with laryngitis while making prank phone calls to a rival CEO fits that M.O. perfectly.

    Probably.  Honestly, Steve was a POS.

      My 2012 macbook pro is still running strong though, so all is forgiven

    Jobs probably just butt-dialed him

    Look, Ek may say it was harassment, but that was the only seduction method Steve Jobs knew.

    Funny thing is, this wouldn’t work today. Nowadays we get so many robo calls from unknown numbers, nobody answers their phone anymore
