No doubt well deserved - I hope his end of days were spent writhing in anguish due to his technological monstrosities, his pandering to the 'simple folks' out there and therefore hindering intellectual progression...

DebinCO		2011-10-05 08:10:21 PM

douchebag/hater: I dunno.

He used his wealth and celebrity to jump ahead in the transplant list and from all appearances was a Grade A POS to work for, up to and including taking credit for others' ideas.

We all die and that's a fact...

I shouldn't respond...but I'll just say, "Sir, you are well named."

/and you are 100% wrong on all your "comments."

aswarmofa: A message for the iCult

Your god is dead, and no-one cares.

What the fark, man? What is wrong with you? The guy just died of pancreatic cancer. Most people don't make it past 2 years and he managed to live 5.

There's making snarky comments and puns because we laugh to make ourselves less uncomfortable, and then there's just being a dick. Guess which category you're in?

JonnyG		2011-10-05 08:10:39 PM

Here we go with all the weirdos talking about how profoundly he changed the world for the better somehow.

I may not have liked everything the man did, but, seriously, cancer needs to find a better thing to do than killing people. I suggest giving diseased goats oral sex.

LegacyDL		2011-10-05 08:10:54 PM

Godspeed Mr. Jobs, thanks to your entrepreneurial spirit we might not have had the Apple and Pixar we do today.

ballchain: I wonder if the #occupywallstreet crowd will be dancing on that filthy capitalist's grave?

The people that they are protesting on Wall Street are money men who have done little to make the world, but have instead only grown wealthy by creating dangerous financial instruments and destroying American companies. Jobs, on the other hand, made his wealth by making the world a better place to be in by unlocking the potential for technology to enrich our lives. They are two very different ways to build a fortune.

Bill Gates, though not nearly as innovative as Steve, has actually earned a lot of respect from me in recent years because of he has been using his fortune to improve the lives of the people around the world. I'm curious to see how much of Jobs's fortune will be given away. I think it would be a cool gesture if a big chunk of it goes to the Gates Foundation as a way to show that he was bigger than that old rivalry.

Good bye, computer innovator.

You're thinking o fthe Jobs ][e

You must be ancient, like myself.

Not too many of the children will get the reference.

fark cancer... it NEEDS to be cured.

To you and everyone else here who has suffered a loss along these lines, you have my sincerest condolences.

Modern computing tech has lost one of it's founding fathers.
It's a sad day.

What a fine, weird, dude you were.

(still likes the Woz better)

Only had to drop the Apple /// an inch or so to get it to settle down. Higher than that, and you'd put a serious dent in a desk.

/first job included fixing them. hundreds of them.
//feels reeeeeeeally old right now.

DebinCO: Steve Jobs not only changed the face of personal computing, he directly affected our own family in a positive way. No, I won't post details. Suffice to say, his vision made things possible for our family that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Sleep well, Steve. Namaste.

He gave you his eyeballs?

I am not a Limivore		2011-10-05 08:11:51 PM

maxpeck: Heard about the iPhone 4s did he, shame he had to leave on that note...

It wouldn't surprise if they kept him on life support until AFTER the iPhone 4s announcement.

/ Will there be a Special Edition Memorial Apple product coming out soon?

/ RIP Mr. Jobs

You do gotta hand it to them, most billionaire corporate types can't generate such doey eyed love and rending of garments from legions of complete strangers...

GoldSpider: misterhowl: Thank you, Steve. You forever changed my life and the world. You will never be forgotten. Peace and love.

Sure he made some cool shiat, but if Steve Jobs "changed your life", chances are you're WAAAY too emotionally invested in gadgets.

that's kind of a dick thing to say. i started my career using macs and their graphic software. i'm not emotionally invested in the gadgets but they did change my life.

tv_news_guy: Jobs...Einstein....Galileo....Newton.....Fermi..... Heaven's got a hell of a band.

ok... no

markie_farkie: Been a Mac guy since 1994, when I bought a PowerPC 7100/66.

My first Mac was a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet. It was a hand-me-down that I got in 2007. Ran like a champ even then.

/They last forever

SuperT: if you have the means I'd be watching for cheap apple stock tomorrow.

It's going to drop about 10% overnight, but will rally by early afternoon.

Long term, I expect AAPL to continue growing, but more slowly than over the past 5y. I wouldn't sell now if I had shares.

I thought that before I scrolled down to see what you typed. Wow - can we cast the biopic now?

Thanks.

omeganuepsilon		2011-10-05 08:12:38 PM

I'm thinking about running through this thread after a day or two, and just throwing everyone on ignore that just HAS to talk about their iproduct in this thread.

You farkers are worse than the guys making jokes.

Bill Gates wouldn't die from cancer.

gojirast		2011-10-05 08:13:11 PM

After the iPhone 4S release, I guess he facepalmed so hard he died....

ParagonComplex		2011-10-05 08:13:15 PM

known error: I guess he was expecting the iPhone 5, too.

This made me LOL. Good job (or baaaad bad Job)

Mi-5		2011-10-05 08:13:16 PM

RIP, Mr. Jobs. YOu were a visionary, your impact on the tech world immeasurable, and you are a great American. COndolences to your family, friends, and colleagues.

/I don't have any Apple products (don't like them) but you cannot deny their impact

Also sucks that he won't be around to play Diablo 3 on mac.

/I honestly hope I don't die before that game comes out
//Been waiting damn near 10 years for it.

cornan		2011-10-05 08:13:47 PM

I started a lifelong love of computers because my grade school had a IIe and bought a IIgs when it first came out. In adolescence and adulthood I've been a PC user, but I wouldn't have gotten started without the house that Jobs built.

Thanks, Mr. Jobs.

myinternetname		2011-10-05 08:13:52 PM

Windows/Android is better.

I would have added Zune, but that would just be silly.

minorshan		2011-10-05 08:13:57 PM

Guess I'll repost this in the green thread.

Especially when dropped from a very tall building.

LoonieCobber		2011-10-05 08:14:05 PM

As a Farker with cancer, this hits me especially hard. Every damn day I see the end of my life ahead of me, much sooner than I thought it would be.

/not a totalfarker, so doesn't much matter I expect
//10 years younger than Jobs, dying anyway
