    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.

    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 have been frosted!

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!

    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.

    Wow. I'm appalled.

    Steve Jobs died yesterday, and you're making an assumption that he's going to hell? How do you think his family would feel if he saw someone say something like that? They've already lost someone they loved, and now to read that?

    America is mourning the loss of a brilliant man. He changed the world of technology, and Apple will continue to do so as they continue to live his legacy.
