Five biggest things Steve Jobs got rid of

Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder and CEO, and one of the only people capable of out-staring Chuck Norris, is fond of simplicity. In the world of consumer electronics, every complexity taken away produces an equal and opposite feature.

We've collected five of the biggest things Jobs has got rid of over the last few years, and we encourage you to add your own in the comments below.

The word 'the'
Steve, oh Steve, how you enjoy fooling around with the English language. If you're not describing products as 'the funnest' yet, you're dropping words like NBC drops contracts with your store.

More specifically, it's the word 'the'. Steve likes to not use 'the'. It's always just, "We're doing great things with iPhone," not "the iPhone," just "with iPhone." And the same goes for iPod.

For those of you with no sense of humour, we expect you're already at the bottom of this page writing an aggressive comment to express your hatred for us being petty. Good. We'll use this opportunity to tell you that we wrote this with tongues firmly in our cheeks, which, funnily enough, is where yo Momma likes it too. Booyah!
