It would be interesting to see statistics on this, though I'm sure no one is gathering them (and it would be a pretty daunting task). I heard on NPR, but sent some texts on my iPhone - even if the primary source wasn't on a device he developed, there's a pretty strong possibility one of them plays a role... |

Still have my Mac SE (3rd generation Mac) with TWO 1.4MB floppy drives (so you could run the OS on one and programs/data on the other) maxed out with 4MB RAM which I got to do desktop publishing at work ... I keep meaning to hook it up with my 33.6kbps modem to use as a fax machine at home. |

Wow....I didn't know that after Apple canned Steve back in the '80s he went to work on the "NeXt" computer. While I do remember this computer being in the news at times, I didn't know this:
The NeXt workstation was used to develop the world's first WEB SERVER and used to develop HTML !
Check it out.

I heard it on an iPad 2.
Not to sound crass but do you think the "big news" Apple just released on a non cutting edge phone pushed him over the edge. |

My feeling is that he really wasn't able to even realize the events of the last few days. He was very sick over the last few weeks. Maybe even close to death for days.

Does anybody remember a few years a go when Apple kept denying that Steve was sick?
Well, hope he rests in iPeace. |

Cancer in 2004
Liver transplant in 2009
Death finally got him in 2011
Those seven years he fought for life, he pretty much changed the face of mobile computing and cemented Apple's place as it's leader. That said as a PC/Android guy I am most grateful for his work in taking Pixar from a possibility into a perennial challenger for an Oscar.

Wow!...I don't even know what to say, but how very sad!
Typing this on my Macbook Pro...thank you Steve Jobs! :( |

| I suspect the recent iPhone presentation was heavily affected by Jobs' declining health. The fact that Steve was a no-show for the event even as a Facetime chat cameo or post-show interview means Tim Cook , Schiller, Forstall and crew surely knew the end was near. In the context of such an enormous distraction, the somewhat hastily organized format in a smaller venue without a Quicktime feed makes perfect sense. Just imagine what must have been going though those guys' heads while pulling off a presentation that the public only perceived as comparatively dull! |

The guy not only had vision but he understood the timing as well, not only did he know what should be developed but more importantly when to develop it. The products and companies he oversaw truly changed the world. I like Apple, but i don't like using their products. They forced the companies that i like to use to keep pace with them, truly a progressive company run by a truly progressive leader.
I'm curious to see how this affects Apple, Jobs vision was clearly the driving force behind Apple, but when one person is the solely the face of a company's brand, what happens to that company when that person is gone?

As a self-confessed iGeek, I'm absolutely gutted the world has lost Steve Jobs. We don't get many visionaries like him anymore. Steve Jobs was Apple, and Apple was Steve Jobs.
Let's hope that his life can inspire others to think outside the box, especially after Tim Cook's lackluster appearance at the iPhone 4S launch...
RIP Mr. Jobs. |

A little excerpt from Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement address:
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. |
wow... now thats deep. Man was a genius, RIP. |

The rest of the address is equally inspiring. You can read it here: //news.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html |

+1 - it sort of does feel personal in a way when something he developed is sitting nearby most of us. RIP |
