Who's Hiroshi Yamauchi?betaboy said:Steve Jobs was very much like Hiroshi Yamauchi.
He was a visionary, a leader and a truly formidable opponent who like Mr Yamauchi pretty much singlehandedly made his company what it is today.
And like Mr Yamauchi, Steve Jobs was sometimes a difficult, rude and even brutal individual. Neither forgot that their companies were above all, in the business of making money. But without these traits we would not have had the innovation which lead to the simple, ergonomic and user friendly technology we have today.
Mr Job's legacy will live on in every smartphone, app, laptop, desktop and tablet computer. But today, the world is very much a less exciting, more corporate place.
" He was the third president of Nintendo, joining the company in 1949 until stepping down on May 31, 2002, to be succeeded by Satoru Iwata. Yamauchi is credited with transforming Nintendo from a small hanafuda card-making company in Japan to today's multi-billion dollar video game company. He also became the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners baseball team in 1992, which is now managed by former Nintendo of America chairman Howard Lincoln."machomuu said:Who's Hiroshi Yamauchi?betaboy said:Steve Jobs was very much like Hiroshi Yamauchi.

Apple hasn't really been Steve-powered for a while now. A lot of Apple's recent ideas are coming from other people.Luigi2011SM64 said:well this stinks R.I.P. looks like windows has only 1 competition now

Shinji_PG said:I try to close the tab really fast, but then I question myself: why is the face of Steve Jobs on the mainpage of GBATemp for two days now? And not a small face at that.
Allow me to explain.Shinji_PG said:And it's one thing to talk about Steve Jobs death, another is to smash a huge photo of his face on the main page.

A main focus of this site is hacking/tweaking game systems and handhelds. Apple makes many high-selling handhelds, in fact there's an entire section for their devices here.Shinji_PG said:I still didn't get my answer about what is Steve Jobs face doing on GBATemp's mainpage.Stop trolling, I gave you the factual answer. Only the signature was sarcastic (and was italicized to denote it as having a different tone).
EDIT: Btw, here's an interesting piece of news from today.Shinji_PG said:So why don't we have a picture of him dead? That would better relate to the news, I think.That's considered offensive in most parts of the world.

I suppose it could replace Steve Jobs' news.
