Steve Jobs, founder and former CEO of Apple, has passed away.

I am saddened that we have lost a genius like Steve Jobs. He started no less than a revolution in computing!

What President Barack Obama said, sums it up:
"Steve was among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it."

I remember how thrilled both John and I were, when he bought his first Apple computer in 1988, I think it was the SE. Equally thrilled was our friend, a journalist, who got to meet Steve Jobs in Copenhagen shortly after.




Rest in peace, Steve - you will be missed, but never forgotten!

Very sad, may he rest in peace.

Very much worth watching.

I saw this speech on German tv this morning; I was very impressed.

Death of anyone is always a great loss, but even more so when such a brilliant mind passes on at such a young age.

RIP Steve Jobs. The world was changed by you, and tho your name may fade from peoples' minds, your legacy never will.

I don't know what else to say but iSad.

I remember when my dad brought home the Apple Computer, when I was still a teenager. I've been an Apple/Mac fan ever since. Steve Jobs was a genius.

I believe he was diagnosed with cancer in 2004. I heard on the radio a timeline of his life............AMAZING!! The things he did are just above and beyond incredible. I can't imagine how things will go now that his genius is no longer around.

I figured things had taken a turn for the worse when he stepped down from his position at the end of August. The world has experienced a terrible loss. But his legacy will live on, I'm sure.

RIP Steve Jobs

I still have the Power Mac 7600/132 sitting behind me, next to my PC with Windows on. I really should try to connect it and see what's there, I know I have a lot of stuff on it.

He was a rich CEO with absolutely no public record of charity. He was no great man. He's not going to rest in peace, he's going to hell for having the means but not the will to help others. Why are you guys crying over some rich guy who couldn't buy himself the cure for cancer?

You are wrong. He instituted many programs to provide Apple computers for schools, teachers and students at a steep discount from the early years of the company. He was always involved in educational work. Just because his charity work was not touted publicly like Bill Gates or Angelina Jolie does not mean he did not do charity.

Had no idea he was even sick....

Me too!

My cousin posted this news on Facebook too..

What a tacky, inappropriate, hateful, cynical thing to say when people are simply expressing grief over someone who has impacted their lives.

Regardless of what you think makes a person worth grieving over, spewing this diarrhea within a topic meant to honor a person's life and legacy is shocking and distasteful, to say the very least.



I have always admired Mr. Jobs and am saddened by his death.

[caseysmom]

What a judgemental thing to say, are you god?

Giving thousands jobs makes him a worthwhile person alone, I am sure he donated but didn't care to impress people like you.

I do lots of things for people that are not on paper because it comes from my heart not trying to impress any idiots trying to judge otherss.

I couldn't have said it better. Thank you!

Why am I upset over his death? Because he has done so many things for the general public, just by creating his inventions. Just by making Macbooks, Ipads, and Iphones he has helped the world. He helps people connect with their families overseas, run businesses, learn, etc. He gave thousands jobs and has created legendary innovations that will never fade.

There is a HUGE difference between having an opinion and being callous and you just crossed it.

Charity work doesn't define everything. Because you don't go out and do charity work doesn't mean you are a terrible person. He's done enough just by giving people the opportunity to learn from his inventions.
