Steve jobs died

[TraumaRN]

I may not have agreed with his company and their tactics but truly a tech giant has passed away.

I knew it was only a matter of time. The type of cancer he had, it's never a cure it's only a matter of time.

RIP.

The mouse, the GUI, the usable touch screen interface, all thanks to him/apple.

Truly amazing some innovations we just take for granted.

The touch screen phone (that's usable), MP3 player (that is user friendly), App/music stores, tablets that aren't clunky, Android, etc as well.

It could be argued that stuff would have happened anyways, but it wouldn't have happened until years after it actually did without Jobs.

RIP

That was..unexpected.

 

[amdhunter]

Weird. I made a joke about it...but now, watching coverage on TV - I am actually sad. I don't think I've ever been sad about anyone's passing before. It's surreal.

 

[Nintendesert]

We knew it was coming when he stepped down and we saw those pictures of him, but this is still a shock. He's just been such a defining figure all my life in the technology sector.

 

[Patranus]

Did something no one else could.
He took the technology out of technology.

Apple stock is going to take a beating tomorrow.

That was..unexpected.

Cancer's a bitch. I'm amazed he kept working so long.

RIP Steve, you'll be missed.

It's a joke this gets stickied

 

[Mr. Lennon]

I wonder if he put any money into cancer research. If I had as much money as he did, 95&#37; of it would of went into finding a cure.

Damn, BBC sure got an obituary up quickly.

You're on a tech forum. Get over it.

I didn't much like Steve or his business practices, but in terms of salesmanship there were no better and I greatly respect him in that aspect of his life. All you have to do is watch the most recent showing of the 4s and the new tech to see how much they've lost. Steve pimping Siri would have made it a household buzzword.

Even if you don't like Apple products, you probably like Pixar movies.

 

[xanis]

Wow, can't believe it. Cancer is a bitch.

 

[Chrono]

FUCK YOU CANCER! RIP Jobs. Lost my Uncle Grandma/Uncle to cancer.

I take it you don't watch 30 Rock.

 

[gorcorps]

Regardless of Apple, without Jobs we'd have no Pixar. Nobody can dislike Pixar
