Posting as Anon because I'll probably get some hate for this. It was originally ANOTHER "mourning" image for Steve Jobs, who, in case you haven't heard, died. Here comes the part you'll hate me for. I edited it because I just can't stand this quality art going to waste(right there, that's the part people will quote angrily) on some a guy who has NOTHING to do with ponies(and the Apple family would most likely NOT associate with due to their massively different lifestyles), and who founded one of the most manipulative, consumer-unfriendly corporations in America. Don't get me wrong- I respect what he and Apple have done for computers and technology. I have an iPod nano sitting in front of me right now. But my experience with the company has been less than ideal.
In any case, this is the version I'm saving to my computer. Do the same or not, it's your choice. |

STOP, there is no need for explanations, the art is great. Any discussion about Steve Jobs have nothing to do with this. |

I... Like this version better. I didn't care that people were mourning Steve, because I was just indifferent about the whole thing.
Also, this is just funnier. |
| dragonSpike #535006 9 months ago |
I frankly agree that the dude is unrelated to ponies (sans the image where the final "Steve Jobs" is actually Twilight Sparkle)--it's understandable that artists would mourn him, but ponies? He doesn't even exist in Equestria, they'd have no idea who he is. |
| Lance #535009 9 months ago |
@gillnavisingh Your idea makes up for the fact that you're one of the users who have an annoying name to type out! |
| dudemang #535015 9 months ago |
Well, Ponibooru gets a lot of non-pony because pony gets mixed into it. Really, I don't think Jobs is an exceptional case. (Though I'm not so sure Equestria Daily has that kind of excuse.) And the Apple family mourning him is more of just a name pun.
And as far as Apple as a company, it's just a particularly touchy subject on the internet. Mac vs. PC is a topic that will forever rage on. As long as both versions can stay up, I don't particularly care, and with any luck, no one else will, either. |

I respect original artist and yet upvoted. Steve Jobs has nothing to do with ponies and there is more appropriate places to discuss his life and death. |

Bloomberg...As in Mayor Michael Bloomberg? Lol jk I know it's the tree, but srsly when Bloomberg dies, I will legit be sad |
| Anonymous #535043 9 months ago |
I thought the Steve Jobs version was already an edit of picture with the family mourning someone else (Applejack's parents?). I must have this confused for something else. |
| Fuzzy_Logic #535054 9 months ago |
It's likely the original, if the steve jobs one wasnt an edit, was intended to be for their parents (the characters).
And then they went "oh I will just do this' and it was indeed dumb |

The hypocrisy of the "nothing to do with ponies" argument is laughable. There's hundreds of pictures of Fluttershy crying at scenes from movies that have nothing to do with ponies. Only a few people complain about those, and when they do, it's about their overabundance, never about how the scene on TV has nothing to do with ponies.
I know the Internet likes to treat anger as a sign of weakness but there's no shame in getting annoyed over someone you hate taking up every news story for a few days, so just admit that's your real problem and drop the bullshit justifications. |

Wow .... I truly can feel the love here. But serious guys sure it is sad he died but to react like this? Would he liked it that everybody started to curse and get angry with each other in his memory? If you don't like just ignore it is the best and easiest way in this kind of things. But be warned I have molestia in speed dial and I am not afraid to use it. |

Steve Jobs made a career out of finding new ways to screw people out of their money, stifling free speech on his networks by only allowing Apple approved "apps" to be compatible with his gadgets, and hoarding his billions of dollars instead of sharing them with the less fortunate like Bill Gates and many other software moguls did.
I guess we're supposed to ignore all that because he made cute little music players? |
| Anonymous #535204 9 months ago |
^ Don't forget the time a reporter posted some information about an upcoming Apple product, and Jobs sent a bunch of thugs to his house to intimidate him. |
| Anonymous #535213 9 months ago |
Computers don't exist in Equestria. But if they did, the Apples would be the last ponies to own one.
And if they DID own a computer, they certainly couldn't afford the overpriced toys that make up the Apple line of products. They would go for something affordable and efficient, not something that's incompatible with everything and only really good for video editing. My problem with the Steve Jobs image isn't that it's unrelated to pony, it's that it's completely out of character for the Apple clan. |

OP here, @Anon535059.
I'm not making excuses at all. Those Fluttershy pictures make no sense to me either- But they take minimal effort to make, and people keep shitting them out, so I've basically begun to ignore them. Plus, movies are not real: To me, the image of the characters mourning over a real-life person is more frustrating than being sad about a scene in a movie. Also, I believe I clearly indicated that I was "annoyed over someone I hate taking up every news story for a few days", and made no attempt to hide it. I merely stated my other annoyances in addition to that. It's up to you to decide whether to believe I actually have those opinions, or if I'm arguing for the sake of arguing. Hint: It's the first option. |

OP again. Anon535213, that was one of my concerns as well, I'm glad someone else realized that issue. |
| GreyAcumane #535225 9 months ago |
Fex, what are you talking about? No one in the comments so far has actually said anything against Steve Jobs, nor has any apple vs pc debating taken place. For the internet, this is a remarkably calm and rational comments section.
As for anon535054 - Reaction pony images are an entirely different stock than scenes like this. If this image was actually created for Jobs, then it's cool that someone went to the effort of putting that together for the guy, but I agree that an emotional piece like this is ruined just a little bit by stepping outside of the pony universe. Either way, I do think that Fuzzy Logic is correct; the Steave Jobs gravestone was already an edit, and the original was supposed to be for Applebloom, AJ, and Macintosh's parents. This image still works too. |

John Lennon chose the hippie life he chose some nutbag for a wife, his songs were never quite as good as Paul's.
Jeff Buckley fooled all lovers, just one album, mostly covers, with more wailing than Japan does off our shores. But all that was forgotten once they took their final breaths, yes even wankers turn into top blokes after death. It's not how they lived that counts, but how we rewrite the book, when it comes to truth, it's best to use restraint, it pays to throw away the facts and have a rose coloured look, when he dies Martin Bryant will look a saint. Yes all will be forgotten once we take our final breath. Even bastards become top blokes after death. |

okay, so there have been a few anon's dredging up crap between the time I started to reply and the time I actually got around to posting, but I generally brush that stuff off anyway. |

"his songs were never quite as good as Paul's."
ahahahaha holy shit "we rewrite the book" is right, hey let's all pretend no one liked Lennon and Buckley just because the angsty baby who wrote that didn't like Lennon and Buckley! |

@535193
First off, there is no reason why you should have free speech on someone else's networks, second, he made all that money by creating tons of things people want, and which they were apparently desperate to pay him tons of money for. His contribution to society is his innovation, which he worked hard to achieve and which benefited many others. So yes, his contribution is "cute little music players" because that's what people want, and the people voted with their pocketbooks that they care more about ipods than they do about whether Apple donates to charity. If you don't like the fact that he didn't donate to charity then you can take money you were going to spend on things you want, especially Apple products, and donate it to charity yourself. And if you don't want to donate to charity yourself, why do you think others should? Because they have more? YOU have a crapload more than the vast majority of people in the world just by living in the developed world. Even if you're in poverty here you're still far better off than you could be. If you think that the rich people who don't have to worry about money should donate, then you should realize that compared to most other people, YOU are the rich person who doesn't have to worry about money. |

"I tell you, guilt dwells nowhere but in the eyes of the accuser". I never said I hate Steve Job, in fact, I quite respect him and spent a lot of hours discussing his life in the other, appropriate places as I mentioned. Yet I still failed to see how Apple's family sorrow can be related in any way and it just looks silly, pompous and false to me. You need to realize how internet works before jump into deep waters of it. |
