Honestly, I am very sad that Steve is gone. I've been a Mac lover since about 2007, but it has little to actually do with that. It has more to do with his demeanor as a CEO of a company, and how his actions have indirectly influenced me as a person and changed me a little bit. I don't worship the man, that's a little much, but to say he didn't influence me with some of the actions that he took as a CEO towards his employees would be absolutely wrong. The story of the iPhone was a cool one, that someone simply just came up with it and asked Jobs if he could take a look at it, without hesitation he said yes, and fell in love. Boom, iPhone. From there, no one can doubt that Android became a possibility.

His family, his friends, his colleagues have all lost a brilliant man.

he was not a nice man... at all. brilliant, sure... but not nice.

no excuse for his behavior, and honestly if all that is true (and i dont doubt that it is) he got exactly what he deserved... a long, slow, probably painful death (pancreatic cancer is known to be the most painful cancer to have). karma is a **** eh?

You are a piece of garbage. If you've ever had a close friend or family member suffer from cancer, pancreatic being one of the most terrible kinds, then you would not say this. Or maybe you would because it's the internet and you can be a cycnical, caustic worm in total anonymity. If you want to talk about karma, I'm sure you have something good coming your way.

I've had loved ones die of cancer, why would it bother me if someone I don't even know makes negative comments about it? Cancer is terrible and even worse when you have to watch a loved one die slowly of it but the internet is not the place to go looking for comforting gestures.

Especially in writing. There is no emotion anymore

I just love how people talk about him/them like they actually knew him, in person. Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Andy Whitfield etc. yea, they did some great things and my condolances go to the family but it's not going to affect my life one bit. I DID NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE.

know why doctors couldnt cure his cancer?

because it came out with a new version every year. too soon?

RIP either way.

they were offended because somehow my comments about steve jobs were then interpreted as a personal attack on their loved ones that had died from cancer... as ridiculous as that sounds. in other words... they were attention seeking.AWolfoftheCalla

Are you projecting? Because, it seems like you're talking about yourself...

Me and my friends drank to his honor last night..... i totally woke up and was still drunk.

RIP Steve, you were an incredible man

This is the forum I frequent the most, I read the news and posted it here because I was surprised. Perhaps it would have been better suited in the Hardware or Mobile forums, but however you look at it he and his company, through competition and technological advances, has led the industry to where it is today, whether it be gaming, phones, or hardware. I didn't realize people could feel so much ill-will towards a person they didn't even know on a personal level. If the thread bothers you so much, please feel free not to post in it.

despite all those billions he couldn't prevent cancer from consuming him.

sobering thought :(

so?
