RIP.
Indeed. I loved his NeXT computer cube thing and the Apple RISC OS almost found a way into my study.
I didn't like the way that Apple had become a by-word for control freakery but, nonetheless, that's not a reason to mourn the man's passing. |

I think the title of this thread needs to be changed. "Steve Jobs Dead today" is rather disrespectful. It should read "Steve Jobs has passed away" or something along those lines. Just a pet peev of mine.
That said...I never knew the man. Never liked any of his products and never liked his personality. He will be missed by many and his passing away is a loss to the world.
Rest In Peace Steve Jobs. |

Not a fan of Apple, bought my Mum an iPod and used Macs at school and college growing up and that was it.
However his innovation inspired many products I do use by other companies and the world is better for his existence and brilliant creative mind.
Also I loved Toy Story growing up, one of the best movies ever. So thanks Steve. |

Sad news indeed. 56 is too young. Imagine what he could have done with another 25 years at the top of Apple .. *sigh

As many people have already said, regardless of what we may think of Apple and the iCult the biggest drivers of technological innovation are competition and demand, and without Steve there would have been far less of both. In the 80's he helped bring computers from blue-chip corporations to our desks, and in the 00's he brought them from our desks to our pockets.
I actually wouldn't be surprised to someday find out that he didn't buy into the "Apple culture" any more than the rest of us and created it only as a means of driving computer technology into the next era...
RIP, Steve. You were the hero we needed, not the hero we deserved. |

I wouldnt say respecting them after they're dead is useless, espeically if you honor thier memories or dreams some of them do much more good well after they're gone. Just like the doner of the first immortal cell line used for testing drugs effects on human cells, made from a biopsy of her ovarian cancer which unfourutnately did her in so many years ago but its so cruically used today for research. |

He died 30% lighter and 50% thinner. It was revolutionary!
But enough with the tasteless jokes. Even if you didn't like - for whatever reason - his company's products, the man gave a much needed kick in the pants to the floundering consumer- and usability-oriented side of the technology industry. Overnight he proved to the world that there's something beyond boring beige boxes running a cobbled-together UI, and that cell phones could be much more if someone weren't afraid to actually put the puzzle together. His work ethic and the way he tackled problems is something I'd like to see in any C-level leadership.
RIP, Mr. Jobs, and good luck to the future Apple. Few people such as yourself don't come by every generation. Your family and your legacy is a proud one for sure. |

I hate the phrase, "losing a battle with cancer." I prefer saying that he "took cancer out with him in a heroic sacrifice."
(you know what, i don't care if you think I'm weird.  )
That being said, we've certainly lost a great person. I don't know what his personal life was, but his contributions to the computer/mobile industry and the world in general were great.
RIP Steve Jobs. |
