RIP Steve Jobs

www.apple.com/stevejobs/

Huge loss..

A huge loss indeed. He greatly influenced the popculture that we live in, so I feel nothing but huge respect for him! Although it was said that, as a person, he was a huge douche bag. Anyway, a great mind and I'm really interested in the future of Apple now.

PS: If you want to earn money, buy as much apple stocks as you can tomorrow. They will be on an all time low.

As somebody who has NEVER owned ANYTHING by Apple, i dont see the fuzz.
YES he was a smart fellow and YES he did revolutionize some tech, that is true.
and YES, he had some of the most awesome quote material ever. Still, some people, especially on Google+ talk like its the end of the world. tell ya what, it is not.
still will NEVER buy anything by apple...

Maybe not world. It's pretty much the end of the where ever they were going for Apple.

What would all those Apple haters do if there was no Steve Jobs? You owe him great.

A great man but some kind of "stupid": He was a very, very rich man but worked to death. I think he could relax and preserve his life more early - to life a little longer.

btw:
"PS: If you want to earn money, buy as much apple stocks as you can tomorrow. They will be on an all time low."

ore vice versa... (Tim Cook isn't tghat smart - the market know that and Apple can fall)

All us Apple haters will have to go back to being Microsoft haters now...

I hated his products, but I gotta tip my hat to his business accumen.

RIP

RIP

Yeah sure, because, taking a week off of work and then sitting in the bed heals cancer perfectly. Its fairly normal for people to still go to work when they have cancer, at least until it gets too worse. It doesn't really matter for the health.



He is. He was over the last 3/4 year the CEO of Apple (yes, 2/4 of it was he labeled as COO, but he kicked butt at Apple). And he did it also when Steve was sick for the first time in 2004. He was also the one who made Apple to produce its products in China, which had a great effect on how many products they could ship and for how much they could produce (if you have ethical problems with this, don't buy anything anymore).
No doubt, Apple will change. Maybe not now, maybe not in a year, but slowly it will change. And I wonder about the direction.

Indeed he was kind of an icon for many computer scientists and even if I avoid Apple as much as I can, I think he fulfilled his role as counterpart to Bill Gates and stopped him from taking control over the world

I just stumbled over his Stanford speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1R-jKKp3NA&feature=player_embedded

Thanks steve jobs for showing us what you build can change the world. i will miss you

He was one of the greatest people, which our planet had ever seen. Rip!

i wonder what happens with his billions now? the other super rich people like bill gates and warren buffet kind of promised to donate most of their wealth when they die.
