iCapitalist?

On October 5, 2011 America lost one of the most revolutionary man in technology; Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs, the inventor of the iMac and iTouch passed away leaving behind a legacy.If we were to ask people on the street, we would get just that. Sir Steve Jobs left his prints on technology, our hearts and our lives.

But, did Steve Jobs just leave his revolutionary character behind or did he do more to those who helped make his products a success? Few know about Steve Jobs' and the harsh person he could be.

"Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?" Having received a satisfactory answer, he continued, "So why the fuck doesn't it do that?" out of What Everyone is Too Polite To Say About Steve Jobs post.

"You've tarnished Apple's reputation," he told them. "You should hate each other for having let each other down."

Or do people know what the condition that the working, underpaid citizens of his factory was like? [refer to What Everyone Ia Too Polite To Say About Steve Jobs]

If anyone is aware of what Capitalism is, here is the definition:
"an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth."
Now I ask you to read Steve Jobs, billionaire capitalist and think: Is it possible for anyone to become as wealthy as Steve Jobs, without the use of capitalism. Think about it in the point of Technology. Does his revolution inventions justify his harsh character and abused workers?

Real Steel

I was reading Movie reviews for an assignment and the best sight I could find with decent sized reviews was Seven Days. I was looking through trying to find a review of a movie I already watched. Then, I thought It would be better to read a review about a movie I haven't seen, maybe it will spark some interest.

I read a review about Reel Steel by Margot Harrison. The review gave a pretty simple explanation but I was still confused. The writer of this review states their point of view but there isn't quite a balance. I read more of a point of view than the movie it self. The writer does compare the Movie with other movies and dilemmas.The review had no "snark" to it. I got that they enjoyed the movie but it wasn't revolutionary in any way.
