I realize we're not particularly an "Apple" community, but Steve Jobs was a visionary in the world of technology and will be missed dearly. As I wrote in a blog post recently, http://www.ryanmcadams.com/27/08/2011/steve-jobs-whats-next/ Steve Jobs has impacted all of our lives in one way or another... today my friends is a very sad day for the world. May he finally rest in peace and his family remember all of the good Steve has done. -Ryan
RIP - terrible way to go He's impacted quite a few peoples' portfolios too. Just think, if you invested $100 in AAPL in 1985 you'd be sitting on about $398,000.
Then you better pull it all out before Wall Street gets even worse. =P I figured he knew his time was coming, for him to resign like he did. Although I never figured it would be this damn soon...didn't he just attend that conference for the Iphone 5...err 4s*?
I just hope that when those that designed the products, their electronics, were behind system planning etc etc ,day comes they will be as missed.
Very sad to see such a good man pass.Will always rember him.He had did alot of good things.God rest his sole.Will miss ya Steve.
Dennis Ritchie also died just few days after Jobs, a much more relevant person for the computer system, if you ask me. Most people didn't even notice.
That is sad indeed. Dennis did contribute way more. Jobs was a good marketter, but people gave him way too much credit for the technology side. He did not make things, but he was very good at taking a concept, and selling it. That's what he was really good at and why Apple is doing so well now.
Never cared for the company or the operating system he formed. However he was a great inspirational man just the same. The world will never be the same without his ingenuitive mind... Rest In Peace for you deserve it.
He was definitely able to sell it! I'm not a fan of Apple, haven't been since my 2c, but Steve Jobs was a marketing genius.
While I think his condemnation of people that copy his ideas is a bit hipocritical, you cant deny his contributions to technology in his life overall. He will never be forgotten.
