I'm so proud of the fact I have an Apple inspired username that just so happens to be a username that I've kept the longest out of all the usernames I've ever had. Funny thing to be proud over, I know, but something I think people who know me will understand and appreciate.

 
I told my sister half an hour ago that I finally give Apple props as the iCloud is just a genius idea. I told my parents I want an iPhone 5, well 4GS now. I was finally turning around and wanting to start "Thinking Differently", then I hear this. May he rest in peace.

One of the "computer godfathers" who helped usher in computers into our homes and our lives. A true visionary, he will be sorely missed.

R.I.P Steve Jobs; 1955-2011.

Not only this; he's helped to shape the world. All forms of communication and media wouldn't have been the same without him. His time came way too early. RIP Steve Jobs.
 
I've got as much respect for Steve as the next guy, but anybody else think Apple is taking his memorial way too far? They're practically sucking the guy's.. u know. Terrible picture, too lol.

But in all seriousness, Steve Jobs was a genius and not only is he no longer CEO of Apple, he will have absolutely no say in what advances Apple makes, not even as a consultant. Very sad. But the man made his mark on the world and will always be remembered for that. Wozniak on the other hand...
 
Truly a sad day for the tech community. I cried when I heard the news. I knew he was very sick, I didn't think his time will come so soon. He was truly a genius and inspiration to all. He made me realize that even though their products were overpriced, they pave the way of technology as a whole. I love my iPod Touch and iPad. Two great devices. He will be truly, truly missed. Rest in Peace Steve Jobs. My condolences to his friends and family.
 
I honestly don't know how to word how I feel about this. It sucks, it really does. Apple will never be the same without him there.
 
Bill Gates released statement saying "I'm truly saddened to learn of Steve Jobs' death. Melinda and I extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to everyone Steve has touched through his work. Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives. The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely."

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Gates does something else to make sure everyone remembers who Steve Jobs was.

Also do you have the link to that?

It's right here, I believe, but regardless, that was quite a heartfelt message from Gates and shows the level of respect the two had for each other.

On the topic of Steve Jobs' death, well this is truly a tragic event and it's sad to see such a revolutionary in the field of technology leave this world, may only the best happen to his family and friends.

Death is death; it's sad whenever a person dies. My condolences to the family and friends of a very successful businessman.

..Sigh. If anything is to be believed by this, the Westboro Baptist Church is going to picket at Steve Job's funeral.
Look, regardless of how he acted as a businessman or how he should have used his platform as one of the most influential people in technology, he shouldn't have to have these sickening people protest at his funeral. This is just stupid.

It's best to avoid reading anything Westboro related to save brain cells.
 
Westboro still exists? Don't they hate anything and everything that's outside their walls?
 
Today, is a sad day.
I am no Apple fan, in fact I hated Apple's recent actions against competitors.
But Steve Jobs was amazing.
Like it or not, mankind has lost another amzing man in history of IT.
Without him, Android, WP7, BB would not be all here. He had created an amazing new market.
RIP Steve Jobs, MobileTech maniacs like me will miss your sayings like "7inch tablets are a fail".

However I am seriously worried of Apple. Although I do hate iOS(iPod,iTouch,iPhone,iPad), as I am a big android supporter, I do not want to see Apple go downhills.
To me it looks like it is.
Tim Cook, please do a good job. And quit suing Samsung.

I can't tell if you're serious or not about this sentence, considering smart phones existed before the first iphone.

I'm serious. iOS showed how good a smartphone can be.
It was a major stepping stone in history, the release of iPhone.
 
Such a great minded person.
He'll never be forgotten.
R.I.P
