Comment on Steve Jobs Manga Tackled by “That” Mangaka by Anonymous:

I don’t get all the fuzz about inventing C. It’s a logical but terribly small iteration from earlier imperative system programming languages. There didn’t go much inventiveness into it at all.

If anything, of all 20th century IT personalities related to programming languages, only Konrad Zuse (for conceiving the concept of high-level languages) or Grace Hopper (for inventing the compiler) come to mind as deserving the honor of a manga. I’d give similar high regards to whoever came up with OOP, but that was an unconscious, collective feat accomplished by many unrelated efforts of people who didn’t realize they contributed to an actual invention until years later.

He only expounded upon the fundamentals pioneered by Greeks and Indians, essentially the Indian Subcontinent and The West. Go do some more research before thinking someone ‘created’ something.

Different family back ground and different life experience. Jobs was poor, he was driven to be successful and he was not going to shy away to show off his wealthiness.

Then how about make a manga about Al-Khwarizmi, the person who create algebra math and algorithm. They are nothing without algebra or algorithm

Read this if you don’t know who Thomas Motherfucker Edison was: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla (Of course Wikipedia is good too).

To whoever downvoted 08:07: I believe he meant Thomas Edison is the one who invented taking credit for the inventions of others. That’s 100% accurate, go read about him and Nikola Tesla. The Oatmeal has made a comic recently which sums it up: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla

With nails like that she can’t do anything. She’s practically announcing her intent to not do anything at home and smooch off the husband. Not marriageable!

Many of their popular 2d and 3d idols seem to like it.
And You Thought Aku no Hana Couldn’t Get Any Worse…:

Honestly, the retroscoping of these folks is amazing. I enjoy it very much.
“70% of Guys” Hate Nail Art:

The way her hands are positioned makes it look like some sort of tentacle crab monster.
“70% of Guys” Hate Nail Art:

According to their own numbers more people dislike it than like disregard of genge. Also, be it for nails, make-up, jewelery, etc, MODERATION! You can use it to improve good parts or amenize not so good parts but if you try to use them as main points you are doing it wrong!
