I knew it was going to happen eventually, but... damn. Thank you, Steve Jobs. Thank you for my computer. Thank you for my phone. But most importantly, thanks for making the world a better place.
Never been a fan of Apple products, but Steve Jobs was so much bigger than just Apple, and I hope people remember that. The guy had a hand in just about everything that shapes modern computing.
I saw this this morning, and as somewhat of an anti-fanboy even I am sad to hear of his passing. Sure, some of the ideas he has had (or rather his team) haven't been overly innovative, but he popularised them. I doubt the likes of tablet pc's and mobile gaming sould ever have taken off the way they have done without his work. For that I thank hin. The world shall miss him. He was an inspiration to many with his success stories with creating apple,pixar and then rejoining apple.
Plus he created toy story, which has changed the animated film landscape forever. I would hate to be a pixar/apple shareholder today.
Yeah if you think about the way he affected mobile media such as portable music and gaming, the way he changed the smartphone game, his original popularization of the GUI for computers, and pushing forward computer generated graphics... he's had a massive effect.
Not a big Apple supporter my self, but I do have an Ipod and I have only had 1 tiny problem with it but that was easily fixed by my self.
Other than that it has worked flawlessly all the years I have had it.
So I have no doubt Apple make quality products.
They are very, very sorry for Apple's image loss. There's a particular reason why Microsoft pumped a lot of money into Apple in 1997 and made very sure afterwards that no strings were left attached: Apple as a "competitor" is the best shield Microsoft has against cartel authorities while having very few actually "competing" products.
Can't really comment on Jobs' death. Cancer is a cruel, cruel illness and no one should have to bear that level of pain and death expectancy. Let's just hope we'll get rid of that damn plague before I turn 56...
Let's all be silent for a moment and deactivate your iThingies for, say, a month.
The only Apple product I have is an Ipod touch, although I have been planning on purchasing an Apple PC for awhile now. It saddens me to see Steve Jobs leave us.
Cancer is a terrible thing, I know a few people who have died from the different kinds of it. Steve was(and always will be) an inspiration. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have our computers in our homes. They would be just big machines attached to the walls. He's also one of the reasons why Pixar came to be. We should be very grateful for what Steve has done for all us.
I'm sort of indifferent about this. Peace.
This group of people have many beliefs, I might not support avidly all their beliefs but a few of them are sort of like my Jesus. No offense. It's just my personal belief system at the very least loosely fits theirs, often.
Here's a take that you're not likely to get any where else. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just that it exists and people have this opinion. Just out of interest. I can't argue either side of the points made in the video.

Given that cancer cells hold the secret of immortality, it actually paves the way for immortal human beings.
Unfortunately...it's the thing that makes the cancer cells immortal that also makes them deadly. Not to say that I'm going to let go of this idea any time soon, though. Been trying to figure out a way to get it to work for years.
For now...it seems more likely that we will be able to figure out how to customize treatments and perhaps grow human organs outside the body for use in transplants before we can figure out how exactly to regenerate telomerase.
Myself and one of my friends wore black turtlenecks and jeans to class today, although I didn't realize it until I got to class. It was just really cold here today! I guess even my wardrobe wanted to wish Jobs well.

Oh of course external growth is the first step. But one day.
Friday, October 14th is officially Steve Jobs Day. Looks like I need to go buy a black turtleneck.
But what makes it official? Because it has a website?
It seems weird knowing he's no longer around. But I felt my sadness decreas a bit last night when my iPod froze last night whilst reading an article on him (it effectively froze with a giant picture of his face grinning at me). Forcing me to hard-reset it. But still, he shall be missed. He taught everyone to live life to the macs.

He had a good run, and he did a lot during it.
A day after the iPhone 4S announcement and it's already off the front page. That's powerful.
I wonder how Microsoft feels about his passing...
We're all a little worse off for his passing.

That makes me guilty, Steve Jobs did accompolish something great. Lets hope that Apple can survive without him.
Plus he created toy story, which has changed the animated film landscape forever. I would hate to be a pixar/apple shareholder today.

R.I.P. good sir.

I would make a joke about how my Apple products are on their way out the door, but I feel that's too soon.

The fact that I can't even consider doing that only shows how important Steve Jobs and his brilliant ideas are.

It's like some perverse joke that immortalaty is hidden inside one of the deadlest things to happen to the human race.

It was on the news, too.
No. That day is Alcoremortis Day.
*sigh*....I guess I'll share. Just this once.
