I don't have an iPhone but I do own a classic ipod and it still works perfectly after 4 yrs. I can't imagine life without it and I use itunes so much. it has simplified my life and his products just work.

It's sad the world has lost such an innovator, not only for technology but he could market a a product and make the public want it.

People are dying at the same rate as they always have, AFAIK. The only difference nowadays is that you recognize the names and this has a more profound impact. When you were younger, people were dying all the time, and your parents were probably struck by the news, but you weren't because you didn't have a personal connection with the deceased or their doings.

Basically, it's a sign that you're getting old.

I was not planning to upgrade my iPhone 4 to the new iPhone 4S but I changed my mind after I heard the news.

I assume you don't have an iPod or an iPhone. You prefer to use a PC than a Mac.

Considering BMW has integrated Apple products, more than, and for longer, than any other car maker...including the E90/E92/E93...his passing is relevant content.

"If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I'm about to do today? And whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something"


As an Apple Developer, and Apple Enthusiast I get choked up thinking about his passing away. I've never had the pleasure of meeting him, although we have shared email on infrequent occasions.

This man fulfilled the American Dream without even finishing college - an adopted child to a working class family who made billions based on ideas, intuition, and innovation. He overcame adversity multiple times between his initial firing at Apple, and a battle with pancreatic cancer. He is the epitome of perseverance.

He is an inspiration to the world, whether you liked him or not, and an American Hero. He showed us that just one person can change the world, and leave their mark in such a positive way.

He made billions of dollars and was capable of making billions more, but only took a paycheck of $1 a year.

He was a remarkable man, and I give my sincerest condolences his family, loved ones, and coworkers.

We will miss you Steve Jobs.

This. We're trying. Easier said than done. Unfortunately we're over 8 years behind where we could have been... well that's not for now.


Unfortunately drug companies can sometimes spend more on advertising than they do on research & development, and until someone takes a stand to "think differently" about medicine we'll be in the same place that we are 10-20 years from now.

I was writing message on my IPHONE,downloading music to my iPOD and putted my MACBOOK AIR on charge…sadly then i read this news from my IMAC….
actually I've got a feeling of loosing my close friend.
He gave me everything I've ever wanted somewhere inside myself from all the devices and gadgets around me.
His inventions,his products were beauty. They are functional.
They are doing their main functions just as perfect as its possible,with its quality and feel,belong only to products after Apple. He is nothing but - HERO of our time.
The only thing i can't get is - WHY,GOD WHY on earth do such a people leave us at age of 56 only?! I mean,there are thousands of bastards wasting all the planet resources for NOTHING. Its just soooo unfair Still i am to believe,that there is a balance in this world. In one way or another. i love you Steve. Meet me there…..
