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

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 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.

I do not believe he was a particularly kind person but he was definitely passionate about his work. I'm sure he suffered a great deal with his illness. He definitely left his mark in the world and I hope he is at peace. His family and friends are in my thoughts.

Too soon?

A true giant of the computer world has just passed away: Dennis Ritchie, the principal designer of the C programming language and co-developer of the Unix operating system.

As my friend Vince said, "With all the ink and pixels spent on St. Steven of Cupertino recently, it would be unconscionable to let the passing of another computer giant go unremarked. That one was a household name and the the other quite unknown is reflected in the simple observation that one was a mathematician and the other a salesman."

Rest in peace, Mr. Ritchie.
