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!

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.

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.

You are so wrong. Sure he had his faults (who doesn't) but what he did was just amazing. In my religion where you go when you die all depends on if you trusted Jesus Christ as your savior. It doesn't matter what you did in the world, just matters if you trust Jesus Christ as your savior.
And just because you didn't hear it in the media or on tv, doesn't mean that he didn't do charity work. Learn to get your facts straight before slamming someone for doing something that they didn't do. Or like you did, slam him for something you claim that he didn't do, but from what I know, that he did.
Oh and just a person is rich doesn't mean they have to put some money into charity. If they don't, it doesn't make them a heartless person. And it doesn't mean that they are going to hell neither.

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
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

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.
