Steve Jobs is dead RIP

Whether you are a fan of Apple or not, no one can deny that the computer industry has lost one of it's founders. RIP Steve Jobs.

i wasnt a fan of steve and his products but rest in peace all the same

iDont believe it.

poor steve :(

RIP. I'm not a fan of current Apple products, but no one can deny that he was a brilliant man and has done countless great things for the industry.

R.I.P.

I dont specifically like apple products but we lost a brilliant mind. RIP

legendary man, RIP your memory will live forever.

Wow thats sucks that he died.

That's really too bad. I don't use any Mac products, but 56 is just too young to die. Apple was his life. For him to resign, I knew he was having health problems again.

I remember when the first Apple Mac came out, and I got to try out a mouse for the first time in my college days. Love him or hate him, he was undeniably one of the industry's leading visionaries. I guess we all knew this day was coming, given his long-term battle with his illness, but 56 is still too young to die.

Condolences to his family at this difficult time, and may he rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to Steve Jobs' family...Not an Apple fan. Products are overpriced and underpowered. Still he will leave a huge footprint in technology for generations to come.

Also not a fan of his products, but I will say something nice. The chassis' and overall construction of most newer Apple products is impressive. Very sturdy, weighty devices.

He barely ever did anything for video games, as far as I'm concerned, so I don't have strong feelings about his passing.

Man that's sad he died of cancer cant imagine how he's family must feel.TheHunterV3

Yes, it's a lot harder when expected. Dealing with the stress of slowly losing someone over years and years is much harder than a sudden death.

I heard the news this afternoon. As many say he was a pioneer and took a failing company and brought it back into the spotlight in a way that I really don't think anyone else could. Another thing is think about how close to his death he resigned. Apple truly was his life and I can't think of many people who are that dedicated to their company.

he did a ton for the industry. RIP

my condolences to his family.

Not really a fan of Apple or its products. Its still sad news to hear.

Hopefully his "it just works" view of design will influence the rest of the software and hardware industry. I'm sick of paying for broken games and barely working hardware.

I'm not a fan of Apple and what it stands for but it has "changed lives" in a sense of the words. He helped built a huge company that created many jobs (no pun intended). How could you not admire and commend an incredible individual like that? And I'm a hypocrite because I do have an iPhone.. but I'm not into the Holy Trinity Apple worshiping. That stuff scares me when I see it. Have you guys seen them when they open an Apple store? It's like they saw Jesus. :P RIP Steve. Much praise.

I am not a Apple fan, but you can't deny this man brought innovation and helped to establish computing and brought computers to the public. RIP.

I never even knew he was even sick or anything and while i never had any apple products i always thought they were cool and he really changed the world with his products. everyone knows what an ipod or iphone is. The world lost a very smart man

R.I.P.

Though maybe now everything Apple sells won't be so overpriced...

iWrong iForum.

I wish I had a hat on my head, so I could take it off.

Rest in Piece, mister Jobs.

It's a loss for the ingenuity of electronic devices in general..

iWrong iForum.

He's not just apple though. He bought Pixar studios long long time ago and they were heading towards making high end computer hardware. But he steered them in the direction of making animation. Now look at them.

Well,we all know Apple is a greedy evil corporation but RIP anyway.

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.

So when you die we should focus on absolutely everything that you've done wrong and use that as justification as why you deserve death? Whoever it may be, no one deserves to die a slow death from cancer (genocidal maniacs notwithstanding).

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?

We are all just dust in the wind... RIP!

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.

RIP.

A shame his fanbase became so ****ed up in the last decade.
