Ouch. I've never been an Apple fan. More of an Apple Rejector. I never liked Apple's need to control the user experience and was beginning to feel disgusted with their change in business tactics (Litigate, Don't Innovate).

But Steve Job's genius and vision can't be denied.

 

Very much the innovater and a genius. I've never owned a Mac but one cannot deny his brilliance.
Rest in peace.

 

Very sad...56yo? That so so young.....I'm actually using his creation typing in these notes [iPhone] ....rest in peace...

 

very sad stuff, he had a long hard battle with cancer for years. and we all use one of his creations almost everyday. The mouse.

 

guess you've never heard of Douglas Engelbart, who invented the mouse
back when Steve still pooped in his diapers

R.I.P. Steve

 

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs

 

poor guy. he battled his health for so damn long. pancreatic cancer is no fun, i just feel bad for the guy and bad for his family.

he was a truly great business man, his business plan was completely unconventional and really brilliant.

RIP

 

Hate apple but won't try and deny his ability to build a business up, oh and I dont use a mouse I use a trackpoint .

 

touche, yahoo news misled me lol

 

ipod, iphone, ipad, and then all the macs.....



so i'm still sure that there's a good chance most americans use one of his creations every day.

i don't... but that's because i'm poor

but still, he changed our lives in a way. the way we do things like listen to our music, talk to people far away, find and store data, communicate via the web, etc. he really changed things and created value
